If you haven't seen it, google it up and watch it. That lecture is the single most inspirational thing I've seen in a very long time. Since that time, I've been reading/watching his blog for updates on his journey with pancreatic cancer. I prayed that somehow, he'd be one of the very few who would beat the odds. Unfortunately, he wasn't. He died yesterday from complications due to the cancer. I knew how amazed he was at the overwhelming response to his lecture. I knew he did it for his kids. But I hope he knew how much he impacted lives other than his family by that lecture. How he impacted mine! If only we all lived our lives like that! What a world this would be!

I finished his book last week - you should read it. Offers more insight. He was a beautiful man. His life and how he dealt with his cancer really hit close to home. My FIL was diagnosed with terminal pancreatic caner in May...
