Just a quick update of thoughts.

Part of the sadness I think is the suddeness. Maybe he did know himself he might not be with us much longer but it seemed he died so suddenly, without warning, no heads-up. Maybe it wa sjust that he was extremely ill but was determined to work to the end, doing what he loved, if that is true then that is ok. It's not that it presents a scaryness to me. But that it seems rude and strange, although I hadn't been following his every move, it seems to me like he was at Apple one day, working and then the next day he was gone. I just guess I am used to seeing people slowly limit their workloads, sleep more than they used to etc but with Steve I never seemed to see that.. I guess it shows his energy.

Update-18/07/2012,  with the sad news that former Beegee Robin Gibb has died through cancer and other health problems, perhaps what I wrote above could be true for him as well. I didn't imagine Robin would actually die....but it turned out he would. I can't remember what his health was when I wrote this post last year but I'm sure he was a little healthier, strange to think that the next year Robin Gibb would die too..
