The Last Lecture

I watched this on Oprah when it aired. I'm not a big Oprah watcher, but just happened to be scrolling through the channels the day it was on. I was very touched by it.

Then Tuesday Primetime, on ABC, had a special interview by Diane Sawyer with Randy Pausch about his 'Last Lecture'. I'm really glad I watched it. Randy admits that he does have his moments in the shower, all alone, when he cries and is scared about dying from this pancreatic cancer. But he has met this challenge with honesty, acceptance, and grace. He and his lecture are very inspiring to me. I hope this 'lecture' is in the book. I'm going to go and get it.

Click on the arrow and watch it. It is about 10 minutes.

I saw that Oprah also. And I never watch it either. It must have been important for us to hear. I thought it was amazing. Totally cried.
