It's a sad day...
I just read that Randy Pausch died of pancreatic cancer today. He was the professor whose "Last Lecture" became a huge sensation. If you have not heard the lecture, you can watch it on YouTube, here's a link to a video of him on Oprah's show: http://www.youtube.com/watc.... The lecture was really meant for his children and talks about achieving childhood dreams. It's a very powerful video, I hope you take a few moments out of your day to watch it and pass it on to your loved ones. While we remember this brave man, it is just a reminder that we are not guaranteed tomorrow; each day is a gift. And it begs the questions, "What would you want to instill in your children if you knew that you had a short time to live? What kind of legacy do you want to leave?"

I have not seen the whole video, but the first half was quite enlightening. We made the conscious decision to become a "one-income family" when my daughter was 2. With it comes alot of sacrifice. When I heard him speak the first time, I smiled an remembered why we made the decision. I will have to look at all of it today when everyone else is asleep :).

Randy Pausch really was an inspiration. For those who haven't seen his 'Last Lecture,' it's currently on the home page of SacMomsClub.com.
