I would like to say thank you to each of you for your comments. The Pausch family showed courage and grace during Randy’s illness and passing. They presented a family of love and respect to each other, their children and the world, during the worst time in their lives. I see them as wonderful role models and know their journey affected people around the world.
Thank you for visiting Living in Courage,
Debra Oakland

To think that life is short is for most of us an astute, oft-stated observation. But, to have life shortened by cancer is a reality for so many. It is so encouraging to hear that Mrs. Pausch and their children are living well even while grieving. Bravery isn’t the absence of fear but the facing of life with such courage. I am grateful to have heard their story and to be reminded that even if life isn’t the way we hoped, we can take comfort in the eternal dimensions of love shared and in the hope of seeing our loved ones again in heaven when our short time here is past.

Jai is such an inspiration to all of us who have loved and lost that precious loved one. May God bless your family and help you to find joy again one of these days. I know your children are a great source of happiness and you think once you’ve had the best what now…I hurt for you and the quiet times hit hard sometimes…Jai you are such a beacon of light for so many people…May God hold your family in the palm of his hands and we all know you have many nets Randy built and oh what a dynamic duo you are…were and will continue to be….Kathy

Jai, imagine having loved and lost such a wonderful man. But a lot of folks on this earth never meet anyone so wonderful. Its sad you had to lose him this way but what a legacy he left all of us. My life perspective has evolved so much since I read his book. I never knew him and my heart aches knowing that I won’t ever get to meet such a fine man.
Good luck to you and your children. You have all our good will and good wishes to keep going. And best of all, you will always have Randy. I bet you, he is sitting up there and smiling and enveloping all of you with his love, just believe in that and keep on going. You will be reunited with him one day in the future, but first you got a huge responsibility, make Randy proud, I know you will.

I just read ‘The Last Lecture’. Very moving. May the Lord comfort you in the days and years ahead and may fammily and friends continue to be supportive.
My aunt has been operated on for a cancerous tumor on her pancreas. My brother-in-law died in 1999 living behine 3 children…the youngest was 7 at the time and is now 17…the teen years are very difficult. Cancer affects every family in the USA.
What a brave husband you had and may you and your children continue to be courageous and to enjoy life. God bless you all!
