Chapters 20 and 21
Chapter 20: "In Fifty Years, It Never Came Up"
In this chapter, Mr. Pausch is going through his father's belongings that he inherited after his father's death. Mr. Pausch came upon a stack of papers and for a citation issued in 1945. This citation was for his father's heroic achievements during World War I. He had leaped out of cover to give medical treatment to eight wound soldiers and received a bronze star for his actions.
Chapter 21: "Jai"
In this chapter, it is talking about how Mr. Pausch's wife, Jai, is dealing with the knowledge that her husband is going to die. Jai decided that the time they have left should not be filled with petty arguments about small problems, and that she would talk to friend or write in her journal to describe release her anger. Jai would also take time to go to forums of people talking about their cancer and how they were coping with it. However, more times than not she would have to leave because many of the forums were very depressing.
