Media is reporting Randy Pausch's death as of 25th of July 2008, Friday morning.
That is just sheer rubbish. How can a man who have moved the hearts of millions of people die? How can a man who have instilled and provoked great ideas in the minds of our sons and daughters, husbands, wives and everyone, can die? He is not dead; he is very much alive with us. He will always be remembered, his struggle to bring awareness of pancreatic cancer and many other types of cancer for that matter will go on. He is not dead.
He can’t be dead until the quest for this monstrous disease’s cure is found. His bold and strongly moving role will help the authorities to invoke the necessary steps required to save many other fathers and mothers out there who are battling with this grotesque disease. Many sons and daughters’ parents will be spared because of this man. So, you see, he can’t be dead, because he lives as mothers and fathers who will be saved in the future as a result of his agenda to instill understanding of the gravity of the situation.
There is only one Randy Pausch, however, who will remain timeless. Randy Pausch has transcended flesh and bones, so again, he can’t be dead. Randy Pausch is an idealogy; an idealogy on how we should live our lives. I am quite disappointed that the media is not highlighting what he has done and brought forwards to the mass as much as covering his demise.

I agree with every word you have said and have also posted in my blog a similar post commenting about Randy not having died. If other people still think he is dead at lest you and me will have him living in our minds!
Nice Blog Pam. Glad you share my views and may god bless Randy's soul and his family.
