I shed tears. Again.

This whole deal is really messing w/ my middle-aged mind.

:agree:

My wife forwarded me the link from Huff Post to the NYTimes article. I read it and came here to see if someone else had already posted it, as I haven't been online this evening. I've been reading his biography instead.

This was a nice eulogy, as only a professional writer can write. Touching. Fitting.

I was wondering why many of us including myself were taking this so hard, so personally.

I think, other than him being the Leader, it was that we all saw him die in slow motion. Over the past few years we saw him waste away and went through denial, etc. about it, but in the end we could see the inevitable progression in a very public manner. Not all diseases affect the body in such a slow but visible manner and that is what we saw in Steve, a person we are so familiar with, if not on a personal level.

It's like the damn car accident you slow down for because you want to see, to somehow experience it but from the relative safety of your own very similar cocoon. We all live in similar bodies and are subject to similar forces and empathize with Steve's journey and his family's loss.
