A Sister's Eulogy for Steve Jobs

How could one not be in tears by the end of this. Truly amazing. Steve, you wowed us so many times -- it's fitting to know you yourself were in a state of awe as you, as they said in Hudsucker Proxy, "Merged with the infinite." Beautiful.

Oh wow.

Indeed.

A sad and beautiful read.

When my father died, of lung cancer, it was similar. Jerky breaths, hard work, steps as if there was huge mountain to climb, no backing up. My mother, my brother and me found it very sad, but also very special, loving, beautiful. We knew he was proud, we knew he was sad to leave us. I hope his family finds themselves strong, and able to cope without him. If my guesses of the man's personality are right; he married a fantastic woman, businesswoman, mother and wife, and parented his kids into well balanced, good minded and kind people. I wish them the best.

This is what makes this NOT sad. Listen folks -- the ONLY thing you can count on for sure, is that you will die. It is natural, and right -- NOT a punishment. Steve accomplished more in his life, both in terms of what he contributed to society at large, and, I think, more importantly, in his own personal development, than most people ever will. He had a beautiful life, and in those last moments, maybe, just maybe, as one poster here so eloquently said, saw "one more thing" so much greater and more wonderful than even HE of all people could have imagined...

too much emphasis on "die" hope she's not obsessed with death too - law of attraction you get what you wish for.

That would be the reason for a eulogy, though. I am comforted by her words and Steve's apparent final take on death. I've read that most of his life he was 50/50 on there being an afterlife. At the end, he seemed sure. Sorry it is uncomfortable, but death is something to be pondered. It will happen to you even if you don't talk about it. It's the one absolute.

Touching eulogy.


The silliest statement I've seen here in a while…

@kokako Newsflash… there is no such thing as the law of attraction. :D

Very moving. How nice of her to share it with the world.

I cried again when I read this.

And I've got to say. Out of the most sincere respect to the Jobs family. Forgive me but his last words made me wonder what's the one more thing after death.
