Randy Pausch passed away...

I know I already posted a few minutes ago, but I felt the need, in my own small way, to pay tribute to Randy Pausch. You are probably familiar with his book, "Last Lecture, Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams". He passed away early this morning leaving behind three children and a remarkable wife.

I feel so sad for his family's loss and the pain he must have endured in the closing days of his life. Although I have a very strong belief in life and love after death, I still ache for the void Pausch leaves behind. He was a champion of the very values I am trying so hard to live by.

His strength (and his family's), documented in several television broadcasts as he fought the ravenous cancer in his body, was such an example of the human spirit conquering one of the most frightening elements of the world.

I truly, truly hope his family find peace in this time of grief. He left behind a legacy that won't be forgotten.
