Dear Yoko.

John always be there. Every 8th December observed a minute’s silence in his memory, and when it happens the minute I put on my Mp5 IMAGINE. Also what is losing a loved one early. My father and I are big fans of John.

I was born 19 years after John left us. It is very common for girls and boys of my age, you like that kind of music. But I will not change my mind about that.

What I mean is that we realize the dream of John. He will be proud of us all.

PEACE & LOVE

Águeda, from Spain

Dear Yoko,
I am so sorry for being so selfish to impose my feeling of the loss of John in a place where you and Sean have the only right to reside. But, we humans are selfish. I miss him every day. He influences me still, everyday. I love him as much as always. I will always cherish him; and will always be ashamed that I steal from what are your great joys and sorrows.

thank you for sharing with me.

Dan

30 years has flown by but as a huge fan of the Beatles I think of him often. His and the others music both with the band as as solo artists has literally been the sound track of my life and millions of others. I miss both he and George for not only their music but for who they were and what they represented. Take care Yoko, Sean and Julien.

It’s December 8 and I can’t believe it’s been 30 years since John Lennon died.
The night he died I was at work. It was a factory job, one of the many jobs I had as I worked my way through school. I was working the 4 to midnight shift and while you were there, you had little contact with what was happening in the world. Radios and TVs got no reception because of all the machinery. So when Lennon died, I was probably one of the last people in the world to know.
As my shift ended and I put on my coat to go home, a guy I knew from the midnight shift was just coming in. He looked very upset. When I asked what was wrong, he told me Lennon had been shot. I don’t even know that he said he was dead, or even if he knew. I ran to my car, started the engine and turned on the FM radio to WNEW. I don’t know why I didn’t immediately turn to one of the news stations like WINS or WHN; I guess I just wanted to hear familiar voices.
I expected to hear the voice of the DJ who had that time slot, I believe it was Allison Steele, if I remember correctly. Instead I heard from everyone. Most, if not all of the station’s DJs had come down to the station to talk, to reminisce, to share their memories and, who knows? Maybe they all came together to comfort each other.
I sat in my car in that parking lot for over and hour with the engine running and the station playing Lennon stories, Lennon’s music, Lennon’s life. When I saw it was already well after 1 a.m., and knowing I had school in the morning, I went to put the car in gear. Then stopped. I put my face in my hands, felt as alone as I’ve ever felt, and cried for what seemed like a very long time.
When I got home, my roommates were all still up. The four of us stayed up until the early hours remembering, talking and sharing, and I have to say it helped. I felt better.
I still think about Lennon, especially in terms of national and world events. I wonder what he would have said about Afghanistan and Iraq and George Bush and Dick Cheney. I wonder how he would have reacted to 9/11. I like to think of him being down at Ground Zero every day, helping bring supplies in, providing comfort and hope to those who lost a loved one, and talking of peace. I miss his compassion, his good intentions, his efforts toward bringing about love and peace, his outspoken nature to speak out against those who are aggressive and greedy, his humor and, of course, his music. But my missing him is nothing compared to how much the world needs him.

I cry for John every Dec. 8th. I also know John loved you very much. I don’t care what anyone says. You were his woman.

John was my first musical hero. I wanted to be just like him when I was 10 years old. The Beatles and John were the soundtrack to our lives. We pretended to be the Beatles then and as we grew we tried our hand but things didn’t ever seem to gel for us so life went on. He seemed to fade from sight back in the later 70′s, but I always kept his music and wit in my heart even in the military service and in foreign places. It was a joy when he came back to us in 1980. When I heard “Starting Over” it was like going home after a long time away. We were heartbroken when a crazed assassin shot him down and stunned with disbelief. Why!? But it doesn’t matter, it’s done and we still love John and his music and his family. Now my children love his music too. He still lives in our hearts and always will.

The Beatles were (and are) one of the centerpieces of my life. John defined an era, a new attitude and an idea…….His impact is immeasurable. He made an impact on me and his death was like losing a member of the family. 4 years after John left us my son (and first child) was born. His name Aodhan Lennon [Irish Surname]. Aodhan [ = Gaelic Irish martyr and means 'little fire' - how appropriate!]

Each time I go to New York and go the Dakota Building and walk across the road to Strawberry Fields I say ‘thank you John’.

Love is all you need
