You've probably seen Randy Pausch a lot on the news lately. He's the Carnegie Mellon Professor who is dying from pancreatic cancer. What makes him -- and his message -- so memorable are the amazing details of his life -- and OUR lives in general -- that Randy shared in his 'Last Lecture' on September 18, 2007.

Five days ago, at the age of 28 AT lost his wife, BJ. He is now a widow and a single father of two young sons. What started as 'flu-like symptoms' on October 30, 2006 ultimately claimed BJ's life just 18 days later on November 17, 2006. I share AT's story with you, for the same reason that he says he continues to write in his blog about it... with the hope that it will help someone else.
I am intrigued whenever I hear another first-person story of someone's life with cancer, including their coping mechanisms, the highs and lows, the ups and downs, and the ultimate realities of struggling to survive this battle with something called 'cancer'. Most of all, I appreciate when people are able to maintain their sense of humor through it all.
