Tribute for George and John 🕊️

Hard to believe The World Was Gently Weeping 23 years ago hearing the news that George Harrison sadly passed away. I remember that day well, I was in High School and my teacher (who knew I was a Beatles fan) asked did I hear about the news of George? I replied no (maybe thinking he is releasing a new album) and she told me and I remember feeling sad thinking another Beatle gone. After I came home I watched George tributes on the news all evening. I also joined the British Beatles Fan Club (now closed) which was then known as the London Beatles Fan Club .
 
George was a unique soul, something that is greatly missed in this world, in addition to his talent and personality, which were certainly unique. Today, especially on November 29th, we remember him with even greater intensity. But I am sure that he is well, happy and living in a place that is much more better than ours now. His spirit has risen as he deserved.
 
I learned about George's death on November 30, 2001. I was going to work for my last day at a very toxic job at a daycare. I was awoken by a phone call from my Dad telling me that George had passed the day before. He wanted to let me know before I left for work in case someone said something to me. It wasn't shocking news. I knew that his cancer had gotten worse and he didn't have much longer to live, but still, it was heartbreaking, as if I had lost someone in my family. Because it was my last day at this terrible job, and they had already hired my replacement, they did not let me work with the kids. I had to sit in a small room and disinfect toys for 4 hours. So I sat in this room all by myself, cleaning toys and allowing the tears to roll down my cheeks. Family and friends sent me sympathy cards. It was very sad, but I also felt a peace about George's death because I knew he had gone on to the next part of his journey.

Thinking about George today and wishing his family all of the best.
