book love-you love-is

Through that love we can connect, we can heal each other, we can make people, all of us, happy, joyful, and make a better world.

I must say that I always thought I had a voice, even when I was 4 years old.
appreciate john love music opens people remember time
At this time I think it's important that we remember John for what he contributed to the world. For people who still love John's music and for those now getting into John's music, this opens up a whole new world in which they can appreciate John's music again.

(When) I read about the battle of the widows, I thought 'I'm not John's widow, Yoko is John's widow,
happy john means week
This week has been hard. Depressing. Now I'm smiling. I'm here. I see all your faces. John would have been so happy that you acknowledged his achievements. This means so much to us. It would have made him happy that you acknowledged our partnership.
