This is hitting me rather hard. Adam LOVED apple. I got him ipods for christmas and birthdays. One of those bad gut feelings I had was if he got the iphone he would leave me. We talked about it and he didnt get an iphone because it really did concern me. Then on my birthday, 5 days after he was diagnosed with cancer he broke his Razor. He puppy dog eyed me and convinced me that he should have a new iphone. I told him I really felt like he would leave me shortly after getting it. He said not to worry, he had cancer and well.. I didnt need to worry. He died a few weeks later. I was right, he left me. :(
Adam followed all the big tech blogs and even found a crack in the apple software to find a new product that was going to be made available before it was released. The stock shot up once all the tech blogs were talking about the new upgrade. See my geeky friend post, I have the links there. I knew for his graduation gift I was going to get him an imac. My cousin and him chit chatted about various apple products. He even had times he gushed about the ipad with his son. He was smiling ear to ear knowing his boy was an apple enthusiast like him. All the apple talk drove me a little mad at times but it was something he was passionate about so you just go with it.
Now Steve Jobs is dead and from cancer no less. Just goes to show how indiscriminate cancer can be. Even if you have all the money in the world, it really is just luck if you beat it or not. I have believed for awhile that if we had millions and billions at our disposal, maybe he would have survived. Maybe he would have gotten a little bit more time? Money cant buy you a long life it seems. These are just my thoughts and I may disagree with them at another time in the future so dont hold me to these. Truth be told we are just lucky to have a crack at this life. Some more fortunate than others. Death really is the ultimate equalizer.
So thank you Mr. Jobs for everything you have done in your lifetime. You changed the world in so many ways. You touched us and made our home a happy geeky place. May you find peace and comfort in the next life. If possible can you work with God in making an app where we can stay in better contact with our lost loved ones?
