Steve Jobs the IT computer genius recently passed away after a struggle with cancer.  I came across the obituary read by his sister Mona Simpson at his memorial.

Mona grew up as an only child  with a single mother and did not meet Steve until she was 25:

"When one day a lawyer called me — me, the middle-class girl from California who hassled the boss to buy us health insurance — and said his client was rich and famous and was my long-lost brother, the young editors went wild. This was 1985 and we worked at a cutting-edge literary magazine, but I’d fallen into the plot of a Dickens novel and really, we all loved those best. The lawyer refused to tell me my brother’s name and my colleagues started a betting pool. The leading candidate: John Travolta. I secretly hoped for a literary descendant of Henry James — someone more talented than I, someone brilliant without even trying."  

As this life story unfolds, she finds out that Steve Jobs is her brother.  Her eulogy is a gripping, interesting and extremely moving account of her relationship with Steve and his love for his family and incredible battle with cancer.  

And you will find out  the last words Steve said.......it's amazing
