Dear Mr. Jobs,

Since the 5th of October I don’t think a single day has gone by when I haven’t thought about you. I have also been thinking of your wife and your kids a lot too. When we heard the news that you were gone a heavy, foggy feeling descended on us. Jan tweeted the picture I had taken of Millie the day after you announced your resignation. And that picture ended up in your local news paper. When I told my mom, she cried.

As small and as insignificant as it was, it felt like a gift to be able to honor you.

So, now you are on the “other side” – I can’t help wondering what you are thinking and feeling as the whole universe has been opened up to you. All the unknowns are becoming known to you. All the people who you have loved and lost are now found. All the questions, the great big ones, are being answered. WOW! My guess is that you are having a BLAST!

Jan read that everyone who attended your memorial service is saying it was remarkable. I wish we could have heard and seen it. Apparently there will be a special memorial for all the Apple employees. That is a lovely gesture.

Jan got me the Iphone 4S. It was a total surprise. As I opened the box, I got tearful. (What is the matter with me??!) I guess I just wished that Heaven didn’t need you more than we do.

But I suppose they must.

I was wondering, if you get the chance, would you say “hi” to my Grandma Lil, Ned Sheldon and William Shakespeare for me? They are some of the people I am really looking forward to seeing when I get to the other side. And if you could give a “fist bump” to Mozart from me, I’d appreciate it.

I’m glad to know and believe that the essential part of you, your spirit, lives on.

Have so much fun! We are going to be okay. But you must know that.

Keep reaching!

(and we will too!)

Thanks for ALL that you gave us.

Love,

Liza
