Death does not have to be a time to be sad. He was given a great gift. He was given time. The reaper's hand was stayed long enough for him to do great things. He was given time to be with his family and to ensure they will know their father even though they may not remember him. He was given time to create something that has touched more people than he could have ever known. As someone who has survived cancer I choose to celebrate his life rather than to mourn his death. When I get home tonight I will raise a glass to Randy Pausch and bid him farewell into the great unknown.
