I don't remember a day when you were alive. I know I shared the Earth with you for a year. Nearly all my life, I've known that you were dead.
And all those days I knew, I knew we'd lost something precious. The first harmony I ever learnt was from "Lucy In the Sky With Diamonds". I learnt how to play the little bit of guitar I know from playing every song in a Beatles book. My piano improved the same way.
I knew I liked the man I currently love because he was listening to the Beatles in his car while he waited for me to arrive. As life goes on, and your wisdom and anger for those less fortunate makes more sense to me, my grief at our losing you deepens.
Tonight I cried after watching a documentary about your death. It just seemed so unfair. After such a troubled life, you deserved another chunk of life where everything went right, when you were truly happy.
I miss you, John Lennon. But more than anything else, my heart aches for those that knew you - your wife, your sons - and who miss you more than I could ever imagine. The world still needs you. I wish so hard you could be here. I don't think I'll ever stop wishing that. Maybe, if enough people wish it, a little of what you believed in, love, peace, understanding, might stay alive in your memory.
You were a complicated, messed up, wonderful human being, Mr. Lennon. There's not a day on this Earth that I've lived that your life hasn't touched in some way. I wouldn't want it any other way. Thank you.
All my love,
Nancy.

Date: 2010-12-21 05:32 pm (UTC)I was in high school when it happened. My mom was a huge fan, so I'd grown up with his music. Myself and one other person in my class seemed to be the only people who cared and that pissed me off. I miss him constantly. We need a gadfly like John.
