Final Thoughts on The Last Lecture

Hello everyone! Better late than never on this post. Julie has just been slacking with her duties, and Melanie's out of power for a few days thanks to Hurricane Ike!

Here are a few prompts that we'd love to get discussions started on:

~ WORDING: In much the same way as Randy's doctor answered his question of "How long before I die?" with "Three to six months of good health" and as Disney workers respond to the question "What time does the park close?" with "The park is open until 8." what experiences have you had ... which place you on either side of the question negatively or answer positively ... and how did that positive answer impact the individual questioning.

~ FUN TROUBLE: Has anyone out there either been in "Uncle Randy's" position or in Chris and Laura's position ... how'd that relationship impact you?

~ BRICK WALLS: "Brick walls are there for a reason. They give us a chance to show how badly we want something." Comments? Reactions? Thoughts?

~ DREAMS: Any parents ... what dreams do you have for your children? Future parents - can you dream for your future children? Dreams for friends? Dreams for family?

~ FINAL THOUGHTS; And the second head fake ....




Please stay tuned for our next book. We hope to have that finalized by Octoer 1st.
