John Lennon died at age 40, 40 years ago today.
I did this blog post 12 years ago, linking to both of my parents' memories of being in the same city where he died on December 8, 1980.
Both of their posts mention that they named me John when I was born 99 days later. Now I'm almost 40 and I'm living on the Upper West Side, not far from where it happened on West 72nd Street by Central Park. I've walked by there many times, always thinking about it, never quite believing it really happened here.
