Much has been written over the past month about the adventurous life of Steve Jobs, a charismatic man who achieved many feats during his years at Apple.
Little or nothing, however, has been known about the final moments of Jobs’ life.
To fill this very personal gap, Mona Simpson, the biological sister Jobs discovered he had only in 1985, has stepped forward.
A bond that arose suddenly in both their lives and subsequently became solid and affectionate.
The woman herself reveals the sentiments and words, entrusting the transcription of her speech given during Jobs’ memorial service to the pages of the New York Times.
We learn, therefore, that Steve Jobs, now in the final stages of his illness, contacted Mona on Tuesday morning, asking her to join him quickly in Palo Alto, well aware that the moment of departure was imminent.
Mona recounts a family gathered around him and how Steve’s eyes constantly sought those of his three children, his wife Lauren, and his sister Patty.
Steve Jobs’ last words, after long moments of silence, were an exclamation of astonishment: simply “Oh wow! Oh wow! Oh wow!”, looking beyond his family, “into nothingness,” as Mona makes known, transcribing them rigorously in uppercase block letters, almost as if to truly and forcefully reproduce the pivotal moment that preceded Steve Jobs’ death.
