When arguably the greatest visionary of our generation utters as his last words: “OH WOW. OH WOW. OH WOW.”, it feels like we have more to look forward to than we might have thought. In Mona Simpson’s eloquent eulogy for her brother, Steve Jobs, she shares these last words…. and certainly leaves us curious as to what else he saw in his future.
Frank and I have shared my mother’s last breath and Frank’s Dad’s last breath with each of them. Neither were being kept alive by artificial means and they were both ready to leave us. It’s a remarkable and loving experience and I hope we all get over our fear of death and can utter OH WOW. OH WOW. OH WOW. as our final words as well. As with so much else, Steve Jobs has changed my perspective on what comes next.
