WOW! He is really one incredible guy! But part of me wondered, why be on the road doing shows like Oprah when he could be home hanging out with those beautiful kids! I have not followed this story, how is he doing now?

What an amazing and incredible person. Thank you for posting the links.

My dear cousin died of pancreatic cancer. He has been but a precious memory to me since 1995. He died the age I am now and one of his last words to me were "Oh F... just Live C, just LIVE and for chrissake be happy" while I was in the midst of single parent hood and a mother who had also recently just passed and I was doing the woe is me routine. I have to say I met my husband just over a year later and up sticks from the UK to live in the US and yes was happy.

I don't know whether I could be as eloquent as your friend, nor would I know what to say in a 'last lecture', but I would hope I could be as gracious and leave a precious legacy to my children, as he is giving to his sweet family.
