WOW!
Patti, that was amazing.
It was very meaningful to my life right now.
Thank you~

Last night Primetime's Diane Sawyer did an interview with Randy and his wife. It moved me to tears. I am still lost for words because it touched me so deeply.

I am going to buy the book he wrote, "Words to Live By". I have been wanting to hear the lecture and I thank you so much for posting it Pattico. I am touched and I helped by his words...

Thank you Patti for posting this here for us today. He sure does give you alot to htink about. I'm glad nobody was here at work when I watched that because it really made me cry. I need to be be more of a Tigger.

I would like to save that to be able to listen to it whenever I feel the need to.

I think his outlook on life didn't come from knowing he will die...it showed up a long time ago. Like him telling about picking up his neice and nephew in his new car and pouring the soda in the back seat.

I think his wife was really lucky to have had him as a husband. WOW what a guy.

I think he'll go on teaching long after he is gone.

Patti, you are so right. You made me get teary again.

That was wonderful. There are tons of videos of him, most concerning the last speech, on YouTube. And lots of info other places on the Net. I don't know how I missed knowing about him, but I did. Thanks for posting the video.

Linked below is his Wikipedia entry.

Yes, I've seen that video, and I should watch it at least once a week.

Wow...I tivo'd the show last night and haven't watched it yet. Waiting for Dh to watch it with me. What an inspiration!

I've seen it before. I think everyone needs to see it or listen to it.

I saw him on Tv the other nite, the speech really makes a person think.

Thanks so much for posting this. They had an article about him in the Parade magazine section of the Sunday paper a couple of weeks ago. What a wonderful human being.

If anyone has the opportunity to somehow find and watch Diane Sawyer's Primetime special on him, it is so worth it. It was such a moving and intimate tribute to this incredible human being. I am in awe and humbled by his spirit.

Here is part of the Primetime interview by Diane Sawyer...I was hoping to find the whole hour long show, but couldn't.

I cried.
I had DH sit down and watch it, something he rarely does, but we just found out he lost his Grandpa today, and it made the whole sadness come full circle. Your timing could not have been better. Thank you.
