Have you seen this? It's a lecture given by Randy Pausch, a computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon University. He is dying of pancreatic cancer.

Professor Pausch has a wonderful outlook on life. For someone who is dying and for those of us who are not. Live life and have fun doing it. I promise you won't have a dry eye after the video.

Everyone keeps talking about this - I must make time to watch this today!
I saw that recently on another blog and read the article in Parade last Sunday. Blows me away. So inspiring and so sad all in one. Beautiful reminder though that life is short and we better live each moment to the fullest!
I can't read it now...I know I'll cry and I'm working! :)
I'll come back and look at it tonight.
I did see this...absolutely amazing and inspirational. He really makes you take a look at yourself, your life and what you have and prioritize what is really important. Make the most of the time you have. I may have to watch him again...
Thanks so much for posting this, Heather......you're right, I'm in tears now! I saved the other links you posted in my favorites.

Hi Heather, I'm finally able to catch up with everyones blogs today.
I am in shock over Owen's diagnoses. I know that it is a very difficult thing to comprehend like you said. You can not keep beating yourself up over this. It is time to forge ahead and keep taking the steps forward that need to be taken. Keep looking to the positive!
I just love the Elmo eggs! I never saw them before. They are just adorable. Looks like Owen is having a great time out there.
I'm so happy that you posted this little video. I've been meaning to try to catch it. He is so inspiring. You were right... brought tears to my eyes. You already know my moto " Live each day like there is no tomorrow " I had to learn that hard way.
Live, Love, Laugh!
Have a great day
I'm going to make some time to watch the entire version one of these days. Thanks for sharing this Heather.
