It's the sweet magic of it all.<br /><br />Daddy X- Glad to remind you! Do a little dancing with the pregnant lady. Maybe during "Starting Over."<br /><br />Ms. Bastard- Yep. I always think of John on his birthday. The most important day to remember him. Sean is almost the same exact age as DTG and once, when DTG was selling pizza in Atlanta, Sean came in and bought a slice. I wish I had a picture of that. I am so glad that John got the chance to love that boy and wrote such a wonderful song for him. I have grieved for Sean for a long time, knowing the huge whole his daddy's death left in his life.<br />And I love that you love Yoko too. We are a rare and special breed.<br /><br />Michelle- Me too, darling.Ms. Moonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09776404747858099919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-63408324742590908892009-12-09T13:54:31.058-05:002009-12-09T13:54:31.058-05:00I remember exactly where I was when I heard about ...I remember exactly where I was when I heard about his murder.

He is one of my all-time favorite teachers/idols. Definitely my favorite Beatle. George was a close second.<br /><br />I thought of him, too--always do on December 8th. I also try and keep him in my thoughts on October 9th, his birthday, since it's a way more pleasant day to think of him.<br /><br />I adore Yoko. Always will. She helped John so much, I think. She tempered him and took good care of him. <br /><br />I also love their son, Sean, and think he's a knock-out musician. I always feel like he's my friends' kid, even though he's a man now.<br /><br />Love you, Mary.

When my oldest daughter was first searching for something besides pop music she found our old milk crate of albums and tacked up all the Beatles and John Lennon covers on her wall. Instead of getting mad , I was so blessed to feel that that intangible something about life and what is important was making it's way into their souls too.<br />I have happy and sad John Lennon and George Harrison associations. But I wouldn't trade them for anything.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15924061349390319473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-44627688853795297592009-12-09T09:23:48.132-05:002009-12-09T09:23:48.132-05:00Erin- That's so sad!

Lily and I were just talking about when she fell in love with Elvis (she did!) and I had to tell her that he was dead and how he died. She looked at me with her piercing brown four-year-old eyes and said, "Well, I guess somewhere there's a big fat man buried."<br />I don't think she was devastated so much as interested.Ms. Moonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09776404747858099919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-1744786608356958992009-12-09T09:21:36.051-05:002009-12-09T09:21:36.051-05:00Jan- Me too.

I used to write him letters and when I went to bed at night I would think of him in a mansion somewhere with Yoko and his sons...<br />Horrible idea on my parents part.

Different, but the same.<br /><br />Yes, love. If I were offered anything in the world I swear that is the only thing I would take. I would rather die hungry than not feeling love. I thought of you yesterday and about Owen and how you offered to hold him instead of his Mamma, and I thought no, let the nurse hold him. He should only associate comfort and love with you two. When the world is as the world can be, he should know always that you and his Mamma are the safe anchor to windward. Now I am going back to my bread. It rises like a morning sun in Summer, and it makes me feel worthy, of what I am not sure, but it takes some of the chill out of this cold night. Sending you love as always. And don't get out of bed and go wandering around barefoot. Sage advice, follow it.A.Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06947308878002639964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-19341941448869103962009-12-09T00:25:03.074-05:002009-12-09T00:25:03.074-05:00Love the post.

When I lived in NYC, I lived on 73rd, right around the corner from the Dakota. Even though it was well past his time, his presence was so a part of that neighborhood -- I will always remember a black and white portrait/photo of him that hung in the little dusty pharmacy drugstore on Columbus.
