Words To Describe This Picture:

John was the first in his generation to embrace being a "dad". . a loving and nurturing father: it was a massive change from what he did in his youth, and with his first son (by a different wife)... Julian is the boy's name. Cindy is Julian's mom.

It was also the beginnings of the massive social change: for all men to start to consider their wives and their children: not just their toys, clubs, and careers. John was the first really public example of a man who ceased with the "stiff upper lip / aloof to spouse and kids / 'my office and career are more important' attitude: which was the overwhelming presence at the time, and for generations previous.

John said, in an interview that was done just before he was shot, "I am glad to be in on the fore-front of this movement" He said that Yoko taught him everything he knew: he certainly would not have been able to embrace and adore his son(s).. as he learned to: had he not had the loving care and tutalidge that Yoko gave him. Without Yoko: John's would have been an even sadder story.

This picture is dedicated to Yoko Ono, and to Sean and to Julian Lennon.

The Quote next to the picture are some of the very last words in the Old Testament of the Hebrew (Christian) Bible. Malachi was the last and final warning which appears in our present texts: just before
Jesus arrives on the scene. The Prophet is telling us that Jehovah will send "His messenger" before the day of his coming. . . the actions, the attitudes, the. . example: that the messenger is to spread about, is this message that John stumbled upon as he waded through the "silent years" (for public purposes we call it 'silent')... raising Sean.

John's conclusion: "Better to stay with the kid, than to make another album or try to build an empire or create a masterpiece for a child you never spent any time with."

(He knew this first-hand, because he did not spend that kind of time with his first son, Julian: and he was very sad that he missed Julian's childhood and growing stages.)

During all these years since John died, I have seen many men and women take a seat on a stage or a talk show: and forward the message of motherhood and fatherhood... balance in marriage, etc. but, I have yet to hear one blatantly and deliberately. . or even casually... give John any credit:

he who was able to auction his socks...

the man, who: if he put on a pink shirt or green socks: then everybody wanted the same: pink shirt and green socks.

Most people in his generation did not even bother to tell their children the story of his life. That is why I am doing this now. I would not have been able to have or to raise the children I had, had I not been so encouraged by John and Yoko's example: from pre-teenage and onward. to now.
