they say. happy xmas kyoko, happy xmas Julian. Sean wasn't born, so John said his first sons name... kyoko was yokos daughter, idk the details, but something went wrong with kyokos father Tony Cox I believe is his name, he kept her away from yoko...I'm prob not right but it was something like that....hell John acknowledged kyoko as his daughter but he wasn't her father. I remember they went to court so kyoko could have some custody over her daughter....I think she was in bed with John and yoko during the bed in for peace...I'm guessing it was Montreal in 1969..
they did that in another part of the world in Amsterdam Holland..(again I'm prob not 100% on that) recently Sean said his nephew jack?!? well it have to be kyokos child cause Julian don't have kids. so idk who he's talking about..
like the song woman John says in the beginning I'm sure u all know this
for the other half of the sky
dedicated to yoko....yoko said that quote in a letter for the NYC parole board when MDC was up for parole. he's been denied at least 7 or 8 times...

The "Happy Crishtmas Julian" always gets me, he says it with such a sadness in his voice but also with much love. Forgetting the things he did, he loved his son more than everything in this world, even thought he had another kid with Yoko.
Yoko also loved her daughter a lot, she suffered when she were separated of her. In the "Happy Christmas Kyoko", you can feel how she missed her... Even John helped her to take her daughter for a day.
Despite Yoko was one of the reasons the Beatles separated, John loved her and as The Beatles said, all you need is love. We don't know if without Yoko, John wouldn't have divorced Cynthia but things happen because of something.
Thanks if you've read all this, have a great day/night. Peace and Love ✌☮️

It's around 50 Years now this message was sent.
How people still can hate each other, can't stand together as one, can't stop fighting each other.
So I say as like my idol:
WAR IS OVER
IF WE WANT IT
merry christmas from mankind
May our words be heard. 💙
Rest in peace John ☮

@mundanechimp8969
as the snail slowing moves towards me I can only think about the relationships, the children and the friends I have made over my stay. as I look out seeing the collapsing sun travel towards the earth I can only hear this tune and think was it worth it.

I never understood this... The sun won't die for another 5 BILLION years. IF we don't blow ourselves up, humanity will easily be able move out of this solar system within the first million years. Dodging the explosion by 4999million years.
