Paul McCartney has written a beautiful, moving, and deeply personal tribute to his late wife Linda on the tenth anniversary of her death from cancer. You can read the whole thing here, but here’s a short excerpt:
We were made to feel at home. I suppose we were, after all. When I first met her, I realised that as a photographer she was very sympathetic. It’s now 10 years since she died and probably 40 years since we first met. I can still recall our first meeting. It was at a London club, the Bag O’ Nails, when Georgie Fame and the Blue Flames were playing one night. Across a crowded room, as they say, our eyes met and the violins started playing.
Seriously, it’s kind of a long article, but if you’ve ever wanted to know more about how long-term relationships can possibly work in this ugly old world, you’ll want to read it. It gives you hope that this kind of thing exists!
