Oh my God, hi! It's not weird AT ALL!! Actually, this is very sweet to say, I really appreciate. John deserves much of love when you really get to know him - and remember that is ok if people dislike him too, lol. Let's just be honest with our feelings. That's how I'm here, and you here with me. ❤️

"But for John, the act of aging brought along its own pitfalls – namely, the inevitable loss of loved ones along life's journey. 'I'm almost scared to go to England,' he wrote, 'because I know it would be the last time I saw Mimi and I'm a coward about goodbyes.'"

"John's parental concern for his youngest son was no doubt genuine – in 1979, he had confided to Fred Seaman that he was desperate to be there for Sean after having spent so many years in estrangement from his older son Julian, who had been born to Lennon and his first wife Cynthia in April 1963. With Sean, John dedicated himself to being a better and eminently more available father than the "self-occupied" person he had been when Julian needed him the most. "I hadn't seen my first son grow up and now here's a 17-year-old man on the phone talking about motorbikes," said John. "I was not there for his childhood at all. I was on tour. I don't know how the game works, but there's a price to pay for inattention to children. And if I don't give [Sean] attention from zero to five, then I'm damn well gonna have to give it to him from 16 to 20, because it's owed. It's like the law of the universe." Even in the doldrums that marked the late 1970s, John managed to wrest himself from his ennui to become a doting parent for his youngest son. When he joined the Lennon household, Fred was awestruck by John's zeal when it came to Sean – even down to his fatherly determination to save every last one of his son's childhood drawings, which he dutifully instructed Fred to frame and display around the Lennons’ cavernous apartment."

"But at the same time, John felt sympathetic to his fans, regardless of the extent of their obsessions and the lengths to which they were willing to go. On one occasion, a large number of fans were swarming the archway as John and his housekeeper Rosa returned from an errand. As they rode the elevator up to the seventh floor, John told her that 'those guys had been there for hours. Some even for days. And just to see me. Maybe it doesn't make sense; however, the least I could do is to avoid disappointing them when they get to see me.'"

""John had a very sweet side to him,' the producer once observed. 'He was a very tender person at heart. He could also be very brutal and very cruel.'"

"Whether he was picking up diapers for Sean or a prescription, John inevitably corrected the humble Middle-Easterner, who insisted on calling him "Mr Lennon". Not missing a beat, John would inevitably correct him: "Said, it's John," he'd reply. "It's just John."
