randy pausch

I don’t get turned on by people very often……no…not in the way you think (dirty mind)….rarely comes a person who moves me in a positive way…..this one did….i read about Randy Pausch (RIP) here and intrigued, watched the videos….what followed was deep respect – for a man who knew he was dying and was able to face it with courage and dignity…..love – for a man and his family that had so much to do….and so much to steal away from a life that was clearly ticking on the clock……salutation – for a man who dreamt his dreams and then made them come true……for a brilliant professor and achiever…….but more so….tears – for a life snatched away….i shed tears for a man I barely knew….yet it was like I was looking into his soul…..and the family and the kids he left behind…..
It actually made lazy me…..compulsive complainer me…..for a few moments…..for a few heartbeats…..think differently…..
Randy Pausch – I barely knew you….yet I feel your loss….Rest in Peace……
