The Last Letter #1442

In the last couple +1s, we’ve been talking about Randy Pausch’s powerful Last Lecture.

Today I want to talk about the Last Letter I wrote to my brother.

Quick context.

As we discussed, Randy Pausch was diagnosed with late-stage pancreatic cancer.

So was my brother.

After doing everything I could to support my brother (and his family), after a two-year battle we knew he only had weeks then days to live.

As we discuss in this +1 on Gratitude Letters (+ Visits), expressing our appreciation to others in the form of a letter that we READ TO THEM IN PERSON can be an incredibly powerful experience for both people involved.

So…

I wrote my brother a letter of appreciation.

And I read it to him on what was, literally, his death bed. 🙏
