When a person seems so alive, so full, so present and here, it doesn't seem possible that such a person could really die -- but, of course, they can . . .

Randay Pausch passed away today from pancreatic cancer in his family's home in Chesapeake, Virginia.

The Apostle Paul counsels us in the 13th Corinthians, verse 11: When I was a child, I spake as a child, I felt as a child, I thought as a child: now that I am become a man, I have put away childish things.

Yet there are some childish things that should not be put away, and they are -- our Hopes and our Dreams. As Randay Pausch shared with the world in his last lecture, they are what we begin with, and they will be with us in the end -- if we keep, hold, and cherish them always.

And in living, and in dying, he showed us something else:

It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves.
~ William Shakespeare

Thank you Randay Rausch, for sharing with us, and for giving us so very very much . . .
