When John Lennon met Yoko Ono in 1966, he fell head over heels in love. He dropped his first wife, Cynthia, like a hot potato. He had an affair and married Yoko in early 1969. He gave his ex only a stipend as a divorce settlement, although he knew Cynthia was going to have to support and raise their son, Julian, who was then just five years old. After a few years, Cynthia was soon almost flat broke, she knew she would have to get some money together in order for she and Julian to survive. She made a necessary decision, she would sell the love letters and drawings John had given her when they were a young couple, in love, in their teens. The letters were very passionate, filled with “I love you, Cyn” quotes. You can imagine how much it must have hurt Cynthia to have to part with these priceless keepsakes. Cynthia sold them for a large amount. The buyer was Paul McCartney. Paul had paid a small fortune for the mementoes. A few days later, Cynthia received all the letters and drawings in the mail, now all neatly framed. They came with a note. The note read: “Never sell your memories. Love, Paul McCartney”.
