 Poignant not Preachy October 12, 2008
All of us know we will eventually die, but none of us know exactly when, and most of us don't take the time to properly prepare. Randy Pausch provides a wonderful example of how he faced death and formed the legacy he wished to pass on to his children, others he loved, those he knew and so many more who would never meet him. You cannot help being touched by this story, told so movingly, so simply, so clearly and so hauntingly honest. It blends the right mix of humor, humility, bravery and perspective without condescension or rancor.
After reading this book, I was left with a tinge of sadness, a ray of hope and a determination to leave my own legacy to my children and those I love. I'm also intrigued about the character and faith of such a man, since Dr. Pausch is deliberately mum on these topics. Perhaps someday one of those he loved will tell us more about the man behind the story.
