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