Here's portrait of Apple's (AAPL) famous CEO that I suspect is unlike any you've read over the past week.

    It was posted Monday by his Palo Alto neighbor, Lisen Stromberg, on her personal blog and picked up by Patch, AOL's (AOL) experiment in hyperlocal journalism.

    Her kicker:

    While Newsweek and the Wall Street Journal and CNET continue to drone on about the impact of the Steve Jobs era, I won't be pondering the MacBook Air I write on or the iPhone I talk on. I will think of the day I saw him at his son's high school graduation. There Steve stood, tears streaming down his cheeks, his smile wide and proud, as his son received his diploma and walked on into his own bright future leaving behind a good man and a good father who can be sure of the rightness of this, perhaps his most important legacy of all.

    It's lovely piece of writing, and I'm glad to have read it. But I also hope we don't see too much more of this kind of thing.
