After he died, a neighbor started walking by our house, and he would whistle a Beatles song.
I’m an early riser, and am awake typically by 5:30 a.m., so I would be awake to hear him, as he walked beneath my window, whistling on those early August mornings.
Conversely, if you’re an early riser, you are often to bed early, but with teenagers this is often not the case, so I would rest and read for a little while before dinner, and would hear this man whistling outside my window again, as he walked by in the evening.
It’s a synchronizity, of course. I’m still not sure who the man was, but he did this off and on for several weeks that summer, then he stopped.
He would walk under my window, and this is the song he whistled:
I LOVE HER by The Beatles
I give her all my love
That’s all I do
And if you saw my love
You’d love her too
I love her
A love like ours
Could never die
As long as I
Have you near me
Bright are the stars that shine
Dark is the sky
I know this love of mine
Will never die
And I love her
Bright are the stars that shine
Dark is the sky
I know this love of mine
Will never die
And I love her, ooh
