I will never forget when John Lennon was murdered in NYC at his home at the Dakota. My husband Mike was so upset that this senseless murder could occur. He loved Lennon’s music, especially the song “So this is Christmas” that John sang.

When I hear that song, I remember Mike struggling with Lennon’s passing and now I struggle with Mike’s passing almost three years ago. So this is Christmas. And what have you done. Another year over. A new one to become.
