All You Need Is Love

Epilogue

When Mary told the family that John and I were dating, they couldn't have been happier.

Months passed since I had started dating John, and they were some of the best months of my life. When I was with John, I felt so safe and protected. I was happy and collected, I felt like nothing bad could ever happen.

He would always be there for me if I wasn't feeling well, or if I had a nightmare. He would even take care of Julia when Polly was out. Then one day, I got sick...really sick.

John took me to the doctor to see what was wrong. Turns out, my cancer came back. John took me to many doctors, trying to find out if they could cure me, but none of them could. They all gave John the same response, Her cancer is terminal Mr. Lennon.

As I laid in bed, sick, John never left my side, he refused to. When he was taking care of me, the whole world around him disappeared. I was the only thing he cared about...the only thing he ever cared about.

One fall day, my heart rate started decreasing. John became nervous and worried...he knew it was my time. He firmly grabbed my hand and put it to his lips.

"I love ye," he mumbled.

I opened my eyes and stared at him. I gave him the kindest smile as tears streamed down my face. Soon, my eyes closed and my body became cold and lifeless. John still refused to let go of my hand. He continued holding my dead hand to his lips. He cried softly as he held me.

After my funeral, John had me cremated and placed in an urn in the home recording studio, right next to Paul.

"Now ye can be with him forever," John said. "I-I know ye loved him more than ye ever loved me. I know that the only reason ye agreed to be with me, was to make me happy, and that's why I loved ye. Ye were the kind of person who would do anything just so others would be happy. I love ye Michelle McCartney...and I always will. I said, years ago, all you need is love...and it was true. All I ever wanted in life was yer love, and when I got that...it was all I needed."
