John Lennon’s Childhood John Lennon James McCartney George Harrison Ringo Starr Songs DEATH By Shannon and Chloe

As a child I lived a life of uninterrupted calm. I don't recall feeling desperately sad or unusually happy. Unfortunately that calm was suddenly shattered when my mother died before my fourteenth birthday. Only those who have experienced such a tragedy can imagine how awful it is. I don't like talking about it because it's too great a sorrow to be publicized, but I hope all of you who have two parents living will appreciate them. After Mum died, I went to live with my Aunt Mimi. She's the greatest, bless her heart. We have a little house, with frilly curtains at the windows, and an old apple tree in the front garden. When I'm away from home, I think about Aunt Mimi and her frilly curtains and her apple tree, and I realize I'm fortunate, because though Mum was taken away from me, I was given something precious in return. Growing up in Liverpool isn't much different from growing up in any other part of the country. Life there is a bit tougher than in the south, because jobs are sometimes hard to find. It isn't a beautiful city architecturally, but it's got great atmosphere. The huge grey buildings that merge with the River Mersey; the cobbled streets; the unsightly tracks that used to carry the old trains; the countless jazz cellars beneath the warehouses around the dockland.
