Question from a reader:
I’m surprised to hear that Sean Lennon, the son of John Lennon, has turned 49. Time flies, doesn’t it?
The Passage of Time and Family Bonds
Recently, I learned that Sean Lennon has turned 49, and it certainly makes me feel the swift passage of time. The fact that his birthday is on “October 9,” the same
as his father’s, feels almost fateful. Considering that if John Lennon were alive, he would be 85 this year, it truly evokes deep emotions. I personally love music, and The Beatles are deeply intertwined with my memories of youth. I still vividly remember the first time I heard “Hey Jude.” Going to karaoke with friends, we sang that song numerous times, often wondering, “What would it have been like if John were still alive?” When I talk about those times, my friends nod in agreement, saying, “That era’s music is indeed special.”
Time Changes People
Sean turning 49 means he has likely accumulated various experiences in his life. We are all walking our own paths and growing in our ways. The fact that Julian Lennon has already crossed the milestone of 60 also makes one feel the passage of time. As a fan witnessing their growth, I feel a tinge of sadness, but more than that, I am grateful that their music and activities continue to this day. Recently, I started a part-time job at a judicial scrivener’s office. At first, it was a series of nerves, but I’ve slowly gotten used to it, and interesting stories are starting to pile up. One day, while organizing documents at work, I couldn’t help but mutter to myself, “This looks like Beatles lyrics.” People around me laughed, but it’s those small moments that add color to my daily life.
Let’s Share Memories
Though time passes quickly, the memories and experiences we gain along the way never fade. The empathy felt through music, the bonds of family, and the memories with friends are what support us in life. How about everyone else? Have you had any memorable events or special moments recently? If you feel like it, I’d love for you to share in the comments. I’d be happy to share some fun stories together.
