aww, thats sweet. i cry all the time when i watch things on tv that talk about his death. im 17, he died 8 years before i was born but i cant help it. it doesnt matter how long ago it happened, i dont think ill ever be okay with it, in the cold manner in which it happened. i was also a fan of him since i was really young, thanks to my father. a beatle die hard. but now i own more beatle stuff, and john stuff than he does.
Im 20 so john died almost exactly 5 years before i was born. my first memory was when i was about 3 and my father and i played around as he played me yellow submerine. so like the both of you i have respected, loved, and cried to the music of john lennon. he will alway have a special place in my life.
