(i.e. like our health!) @Maria - As for the wife letting him devote time to The Last Lecture -- I do give her credit (but maybe it gave them something else to focus on), but also it's a legacy for their sons and will help her/them later on in life. He's also inspired many others and not just in his "living your dreams" speech, but also in how one handles a terminal illness. On top of all that, I hope it brings her some financial security too. She's now a single mom with young kids and if she can benefit by his doing something good, I'm all for it! Thanks for the comments!

I'll have to watch the YouTube video next. It's a very easy read with short chapters on different goals/accomplishments - It made me think that we have all have some of these experiences, but may not realize how they have shaped us without the lens of life ending so soon. Like Diane, I enjoyed the personal bits too - I give his wife tons of credit for letting "The Last Lecture" take up so much of the last months of their life together.

Randy was an incredible individual, very strong mentally and physically. I just learned on this website that he has passed away on July 2008. Im extremely sorry, and I hope his family is as strong as Randy. His book is a real life lesson, and people should really read it, because it shows how a lot of us take many things for granted.
