    Happy Birthday, Bono! It gives me great joy to be able to do this for your birthday each year. It is my way to honor you for all that you have done for the world’s poorest people. Once again, I do this in honor of my friend and yours……Agnes Nyamayarwo – “the quietest storm that ever blew into town.”

    Happy Birthday, Bono – for you & Jordan! This is now the NINTH year of all of us coming together in your honor to save lives & to bring hope to those in Africa who need clean water. It is one of the clearest examples of how YOU inspire us to be better people. It is something that I hope you will always remember in moments when you might wonder if what you do really makes an impact on the world. YES, IT DOES, dear man. ~ Thanks Bono for all the wonderful moments on the 360 tour this past year – looking forward to the U.S. concerts this Summer. ~ Most of all, on your special day & each day of the year, PLEASE BE GOOD TO YOURSELF! Take good care of your physical, emotional & spiritual health. YOU are the axis around whom so many others are successful. NEVER UNDERESTIMATE YOUR STRENGTHS – they are many & they bless the entire world. ~ God love you, B-man, and so do we. As always, sincerely from my heart & looking forward to seeing you again. BreithlΓ‘ shona duit! ONLY LOVE, debbie:)

    Feliz cumpleanos Pablo David/Bono:
    Es con tanto tanto sentimientos que mando asta ti este mensaje humilde para decirte que en lo mas profundo de mi alma, habitas tu, asi como tambien, siempre a avitado dios. Tu perseverancia, tu fortalesa, tu justas intenciones y sentimientos por hacer justicia para los pobres, por ser voz de los que no tienen voz, por ser luz para aquellos que se encuentran en oscuridad, no solo aqui en esta dimencion, sino tambien para aquellos quienes dejaron nudos no desueltos antes de irse para siempre, por ser esperansa para los ninos, y para la humanidad, el hombre a quien yo oigo como un Leon gritando por paz y justicia, y que tambien el mundo ya oya tambien, por ser aquel hombre que da vida a las flores muertas, ser sol para nina que habitaba en la oscuridad, que en su ninez, moraba en su jardin, en los montes, en los arroyos, buscando sus tesoros secretos, todos creados por dios, los lugares que hoy ella desea volver con tanto deceos, un lugar lleno de amor, paz, y bellos suenos, lejos; desde ahi, te busco yo ati, mi pricipe desconosido, por que todavia no tengo el honor de saludarte y conocerte en persona, mas sin embargo, me siento bendecida por el amor tan limpio y puro que dios me ha permitido sentir por ti, con condiciones, pero que me ha llenado de vida, esperansa. El sol ya lo puedo mirar, mi corazon habita lleno de mi amor por dios y estos sentimientos por ti, la cual me hace sentir capturada, no libre y feliz de existir. Siempre seras el pricipe de tu nina Realm, la nina a quien tu de devolviste la luz, a quien tu despertaste, la que ya no duerme, existiendo dormiendo, inconsiente, en un estado despierta, pero como hypnotisada, luchando por existir sin saver quien era ella, que hacia aqui en este mundo, como llego a ser esposa por 18 anos, los hijos que tube, como paso tanto tiempo y todo eso, asi desperte yo,todo empeso a verse bello, las flores me hacian llorar, sentia tanto amor, cuando llegaste tu,el amor y adios tambien. Gracias Bono, por tanta paciensia, con esa flor que siempre ha sido tuya, te a buscado siempre; gracias por tu humilda, tu corazon limpio y humilde, gracias por darme una 2nd opportunidad de existir libre, con esperansa y por traer ami el amor de dios, la bellesa de su creation, la rason de mi existencia; tanta es la bellesa que vi por medio de ti, tan felis for sentirme libre del amarre emotional is espiritual aqui por lo de este mundo, y mas y mas por traer al mismo dios directo ami, y ver toda su creacion desde mas cerca con magnificacion, tan cerca que mis ojos pudieron ver, a dios y su creacion por lo que es verdaderamente. Por liberarme para que yo pudiera existir y amar adios y a la vida como cada uno de nosotros tenemos el derecho que nos da dios. Por dar a mi alma a dios otra vez y borrar lo que me separo de dios, la cual no fue mi culpa, los ninos necesitan protecion, preservarlos y preservar sus almas y su innocensia, no rabarselas. Te quiero mucho, Bono, aunque no me conoscas todavia, soy tu Flor del jardin, Tu Rosa fiel, quien te quiera con todo y sin nada, asi como dios te mando al mundo, rico or pobre, famoso o no, poderoso y no, eres la flor masculina que yo mas respeto y admiro, eres el sueno de esta humilde nina/ya mujer, que te valora por que eres un hombre de gran valor para la humanidad y un amor para dios,la nina que te busca siempre,

    Dear Bono
    Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you , Happy Birthday Dear Bono Happy Birthday to YOU!!!!
    and Many ,Many , Many , Many more to come. I love all your work you do singing/activist. Your music is what keeps me a float and has been my rock for the past year in a half. Through your songs you have made me strong to face what I have to face in my life. You taught me how to believe through your songs and to dream out loud and not to be afraid. Thank you for being my rock and carrying me through my roughest days. I listen to your music every day and this July 5th will be my first U2 concert in Chicago live. I have all your concerts on DVD and now for the REALLY THING. Love and Peace and be safe. please tell Jordon happy birthday to her also. Enjoy your birthday I am sure Ali has something special planed. πŸ™‚ Lisa Dereski

  16. Pamela on April 2, 2011 at 5:47 am

    Dear Bono,
    Happy birthday! I have been a U2 fan since 1989 and your extraordinary music has taught me so much about universal laws like love and humanity. “Where you live should not decide whether you live or whether you die” is a touching line that captures your absolute dedication and commitment to social justice and equality so perfectly. Your passion is such a huge contribution to turn Africa into a hopeful place full of new possibilities. I am glad to have the opportunity to donate to the African Well Fund in your honor. Great music is always such a healing power and its intensity sends shivers down my spine. Thank you so much for your moving and beautiful concert in Vienna last year! You donΒ΄t have a choice but to lift me up!
    I wish you much, much luck, health, success and joy and many, many years ahead of you. Also happy birthday to your daughter Jordan!
    Much love,
    Pamela, Austria

    I wish you a very happy birthday !

    Happy Birthday..I consider it a privilege to be able to help every year with a donation for your birthday. I wish I could do more, but there are so many causes. Anyway, was nice to meet you in Brisbane…wanted to talk about physio therapy as that’s what I do here in the US, but I “forgot”. Hope this decade finds you in good health! (I’m right behind…yikes!). Thank you for helping those who don’t have a voice as strong as yours.
    Peace,

  71. Jane on May 8, 2011 at 2:31 pm

    Hey Bono
    I know and follow U2 for more than 20 years, But I began to know the band by you. I was very angry to everything in this period, I believed not at all and especially not in the Mankind. I was very wild, in perpetual conflict with everything and avoided people at most.
    Then a girl said to me that I was wrong and that there were still people indeed, people who fight for good causes and who take advantage of the fame to put it for the benefit of people who more need it. She gave me your example and quoted me some major songs of U2. The next day, she lent me War and JT by encouraging me to read the lyrics.
    I was very impressed and wanted to know more. Today, more than 20 years later, I still stay
    so impressed and tries to support you and to help you, at a lesser level, as much as I can.
    I would just want you to know all my immense respect and all my gratitude to bring me so much.
    Thank you for who you are, thank you for all you do. Thank you to exist.
    Happy birthday Great Man

  72. Tara on May 8, 2011 at 2:32 pm

    Bono,
    Thank you! You keep proving that if we concentrate on what we have in common and build on that, then we really can change the world for the better. You continue to lift me up and inspire me to lend my voice and my actions to help improve the lives of others, like supporting organizations in bringing clean water to people living without this basic human right. And thanks also to U2 for being part of the soundtrack to my life and connecting me to some incredible people over the years.
    Happy Birthday and many more to come. Take care!
    All the best always,

    Dear Bono,
    HAPPY 51ST BIRTHDAY!!!
    Wow! I can’t believe we are here again, 9 years in a row, giving hope to those who may not have much. I’m still very proud to say that after all these years I’m a huge fan not only of your night job but what you do during the day, reminding us that ONE man or woman can make a difference. I know that my donation may not be much, but I know it will mean a whole heck of a lot more to those who have little or nothing at all. Every little bit helps. So even when things look like they are stacked up against me as far as me keeping my job or not, it won’t stop me from giving. Because I know the more we give, the more we shall receive.
    Please continue what you’re doing! Yes, some people may not like the reminders of Africa at your shows, but I say keep on keeping on! You changed my life for the better and helped me see things differently, and made me give more than I should. Thank you.
    May God continue to bless you and watch over you, your family, and the band.
    SEE YOU IN DENVER AND IN ANAHEIM!!!
    HERE’S TO TEXAS SIZED HUGS AND KISSES!!!
    XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO

    Bono, you are absolutely my hero and inspiration. Your music has challenged me, brought me comfort and strength, and made me see the world, even at it’s darkest, through the eyes of hope. Thank you for speaking for those who cannot speak for themselves, for not letting us turn a blind eye to injustice in the world, and for giving those of us who are in this fight with you a voice as well and opportunities to make a difference. I hope you have an awesome, crazy-fun, blessed birthday and that you will know how much you are loved and supported…and that YOU ARE CHANGING THE WORLD!! I love you always!! Happy, happy birthday!! Grace & peace, love! xoxo

You’ve worked tirelessly to wrap your arms around the world and bring much needed attention to those less fortunate, those without a voice. I can’t even begin to tell you what your songs with U2 have done to inspire, comfort, and elate me! Thank you for always dreaming outloud and keeping hope alive. I look forward to seeing you and the boys next month in Anaheim. God Bless!
