Bono's Birthday Card - 2006

The Bono Birthday Well Fundraiser has drawn to a close - thank you very much for your donations and your entries.


Happy Birthday Bono!

I hope you have enjoyed reading your fourth birthday card from supporters of the AWF. You continue to enlighten many people and it is such an amazing thing to watch and be a part of. Thank you!

From Anne Cimon



Hi Bono,
Happy Birthday to you and your daughter Jordan!

Thank you for the wonderful music you make and that you reminded me of the people that need our support soo much!

I had forgotten about them, lived only for my own comfort, and I felt bad, very bad! But you reminded me that the reason why we are all here is to bring light into somebody elses life... - while we're here - and now I feel good again and I hope you'll make your "Vision 2015"!!!

Thank you Bono!
Love Ingrid

Most bees are busy searching nectar.
But not this one.
This busy B has not found what he's looking for just yet*
He's hopefull he once will though.
Won't give up.

He gives.
He gives.
He gives himself away.

Time to give something back.
To those who need it.
'Cause sometimes you can't make it on your own.

You say: We don't want your money. We want your voice.

I say: Thank you for your voice.
Thank you for educating my mind, your mind, our mind, their mind.
Thank you for everything that you do.

*Equality and justice for all,

Much love,

Happy Birthday!

From elise embry



Bono, c'est un plaisir pour moi de participer encore cette année à cette levée de fonds en l'honneur de ton anniversaire.

Je profite de l'occasion qui m'est donnée pour remercier U2 pour les deux très belles soirées que j'ai passées au Centre Bell le 26 et le 28 novembre dernier. J'en suis sorti le souffle coupée les deux soirs. Je vous suis très reconnaissante de m'avoir donné la chance de découvrir le groupe montéalais Arcade Fire que je ne connaissais pas très bien.

Je te laisse sur ces mots d'une chanson québecoise que l'on chante lors d'anniversaires.
''Mon cher Bono, c'est à ton tour de te laisser
parler d'amour...''. Bonne Fête!

Dear Bono:
I think I may be one of the only people who have not yet met you in DC on the Hill. Keep up the good work and enjoy your birthday.

The most important thing is to remember how important you are to your friends and family. From personal experience, they could be gone at any time, so always take the time to spend with them.

Happiest of Birthday wishes Bono
My wish for you is that you will always have the strength,courage and wisdom to carry on doing all of the wonderful work that you do.

You deserve everything good on your special day and always.

J'ai beaucoup aimé ton livre, que m'a meilleure amie m'a offert pour mes 16 ans, en le lisant j'ai découvert la sensibilité mais aussi l'arrogance d'une rock star!

Dear Bono,
Best wishes for a happy and successful year. Thanks for all you accomplished in 2005, which happily included fulfilling my dream of seeing U2 live (MSG May 21st). I've been a fan since '83 and spent my 21st birthday watching Live Aid, but I had to wait until I was 41 to make it happen. May the dreams you have on hold come true for you. All the best,

Happy Birthday Bono! People have asked me if your celebrity status helps affect change, and I am a personal testament to that. I did not know or care about the issues in Africa until you became passionate about them yourself. Now, I dedicate most of my free time to them. Thanks for keeping us responsible. You are the hero we need in a hero-less time.

From vadella pascal



Dear Bono,
Last time I saw you, we were waving the white flags in the land of the midnight sun. I'd like to assure you, that VertiGothenburg//2005 was a really special moment for U2's Swedish fans - maybe your best concert here ever.

Which is as good a proof as anything that there's nothing bad to be said about people getting older - not even rock stars. The next time I'll see you (Honolulu?) we will both be a year older and hopefully we're going to have the time of our life, not despite but because of that. I'll bring the white flag if you bring the band.

In the mean time, I'd like to wish you a very happy birthday! I admire you as a musician, poet and a great singer, but I also admire your tireless efforts to try and help the poorest of the poor. You rock on so many different levels, I guess I'll sum it up with; I admire you as a person.

Love & Peace

I wish you Bono a very joyous birthday. What an awesome opportunity to give you a birthday gift that benefits you, myself and brothers and sisters I do not know. The world is a better place with you here. You have inspired me and now I know why I am drawn toward you, U2's music and Africa. I think God is calling me to some type of action. First it was One, then the Night Walkers piece on Oprah. I went to bed haunted with the notion that those kids were walking as my kids slept upstairs well, feed, clothed. Today I checked the U2 fan site and here was Africa again.
Thank Allie also for the endless work she does with the Chernobyl work. My family escaped from Hungary during the 1956 revolution but other family members stayed and endured communism. Two of those aunts died suddenly and very young and it all points to Chernobyl.

A Birthday Prayer for Bono from "The Valley of Vision -A Collection of Puritan Prayers" by Arthur Bennett

A Disciple's Renewal-

O My Saviour,
help me.
I am so slow to learn, so prone to forget, so weak to climb;
I am in the foothills when I should be in the heights;
I am pained by my graceless heart,
my prayerless days,
my poverty of love,
my sloth in the heavenly race,
my sullied conscience,
my wasted hours,
my unspent opportunities.
I am blind while light shines around me:
take the scales from my eyes,
grind to dust the evil heart of unbelief.
Make it my cheifest joy to study thee,
meditate on thee,
gaze on thee,
sit like Mary at thy feet,
lean like John on thy breast,
appeal like Peter to thy love,
count like Paul all things dung.
Give me increase and progress in grace so that there may be;
more decision in my character,
more vigour in my purposes,
more ELEVATION in my life,
more fervour in my devotion,
more constancy in my zeal.
As I have a position in the world,
keep me from making the world my position;
May I never seek in the creature what can be found only in the creator;
Let not faith cease from seeking thee until it vanishes into sight.
Ride forth in me, thou king of kings and lord of lords, that I may live victoriously, and in victory attain my end.

Happy Birthday! Thank you for the inspiration!
Love Always, Kristin

From Kristin Crandall

Happy Birthday to you, Bono!
My youngest son, Sammy, is 4 years old and wants you to know that he loves your music and sings loudly and dances enthusiatically to "Vertigo." It goes without saying in our household, and in Ann Arbor Michigan for that matter, that I thoroughly enjoy U2 as well! Most especially my family appreciates what you are doing for the world! Sammy and I wanted to let you know that we made a donation for a well in your name. We look forward to U2's next visit to Detriot! Much LOVE and PEACE to you, Ali, and your children~
Lots of Love and God bless you!

I have been a fan of U2 since the first Live Aid-I have been hooked ever since. U2 and Bono have been part of the soundtrack of my life and I finally got to experience myself my first U2 concert in Cleveland, OH in December, 2005. I was looking forward to it for so long-years-because I had missed out on other tours. I was not let down. I was blown away-It truly was a magical night. Bono-thanks to you and the other memebers of U2 for the outstanding music you give us and thank you to you for being an example of what a person can become. You truely are a hero.

Dear Bono,

Breithlá sona duit!

The Vertigo Album meant much to me this past year, since I too lost my father suddenly at 62, in Dec 2004. Your album help me feel some of my inner deep emotions and still is. My father was a really true lover of music. He loved Elvis, Rock N Roll & Blues and also Rap sometimes :). He taught me many things but the most important one was is Love of music and Peace. You truly inspire great emotions of love when I see or hear you and your band. I feel sometimes like a teen even if I'm 2X that age :). I saw your concert in November in Montreal, and that night will always be in my memory until my last days. I particurlarly liked the video of a man walking alone...
Your actions also inspire me. I wrote to many of my political representatives to make them increase the help to Africa even if Paul MArtin let us down this time... We will make a difference the more we are and the more we do!

If ever you pass by Montreal,give me a ring and I will gladly make you a nice supper or have a drink with you Sláinte!

Have a super birthday and all the best to you!

Go n-éirí an bóthar leat! Síochán leat!

A bientôt j'espère!

From Sheri W



Happy birthday! Speech, speech!!

Thanks for being a role model, an inspiration, an encouragement, a hope to carry on and you're always there to lend a hand in every- sorry. All Elvis lyrics aside, I'm proud to be a fan. Your example has taught me grace and integrity, and led me to grow spiritually and artistically. I like your hair, too.

I'd like you to know that your background has encouraged me in starting my business no matter how small and how awful I may be. (Don't quote me on that.) I'm the age you were when U2 began and I've done very well; without you and your ambition, I might not have thought I could pull it off.

"Sixth and lastly," thank you for taking the time to read all these messages. Happy birthday, Bono.

From Lauryl



It is an honor to wish you a happy birthday. You have been blessed with knowing your purpose, and what God's designed for you. Thank you for being so generous with sharing all that you do with all of us. It has been fun getting to follow you and your career for 20 years!

FOR PAUL HEWSON - HAPPY 46TH BIRTHDAY
This is the moment to give you, my dear Paul, my “GRAZIE” for all that you made in this time.
It has been a year of war, of death and desperation for the poorest people of the world because this persons are becoming always more poorest. However it has been a year with more FAITH. I pray everyday for the people like you, like Karol Woityla, like Madre Teresa of Calcutta because they give us the way for increasing our faith. Faith and love are the road for peace.
Thank you very much Paul. Thank you for all that you have done for us this year. Thanks for your activism for African people, for the HIV cancer, for your battle with politicians, managers in this important umanitarian question, thanks for your presence in much talk-shows and radio interviews.
God, surely, is blessing you.
One kiss to your family from mine (Laura, Alberto and by my new son Riccardo).
A special kiss to Ali, Jordan, Eve, Eliah and John.
You are every day in my hearth.
If you’ll need my help please contact me everytime.
My best greetings to all your staff especially for Cecilia, Fernando, Jenifer…… of U2.com.
I love you forever.

Thank you for all that you do - you're spectacular and the world is a better place because you're in it.

Think about it this way - just the celebration of your birthday is saving lives. At the rate we're going, by the time you're 50, everyone who needs access to clean water we'll have it!

I'll drink to that - and to you.

You have been an inspiration to me for the past ten years and I thank God that there are people in the world like you. Thank you for continuing to wake me up to the suffering in God's world and thank you for empowering me to be God's hands and feet.

From Megan McClure



Happy B'Day Bono - you have managed to let the fans 'in' in such a way that we all feel like we know you, (and we love you). If I could project the impact you've had on my life I would - but there is no way a few words could do this - so I will simply say a most heart felt Thank you. Take care of Edge for us and I'll wait patiently for my chance to see you on stage again (I'm on perpetual standby to Hawaii :D ). Love and Peace. Jennifer

U2 is a big part of my life. I hope that you`ll keep on the good work in the music-buiness, as well as charity. I`m going start some work in Norway, to collect moneys to Africa, inspired by you and your band. You`re God`s best son, mate.

Hello Hello Bono I am a girl in place called France...
Happy Birthday Bono and all my best wishes for all that you undertake. I live near Chablis and I give you an appointment for a tasting to clink glasses together for your 46 years birthday.
You are an incredible character with the eyes of the whole world as much of a point of considering musical with the group that humanly. And for all of this I would like to congratulate you. It is difficult to explain you the emotion why you transmit to us.
Thanks a lot and sincerely for everything.
I would like to believe that ONE day I will meet you and this day will be the most beautiful event in my life. The dream is the direction of my life.
Thanks Monsieur Bono and take care of you and your family.

I have been a hudge U2 fan since the 1980s. U2 concerts are always a must for me. I saw you in Tampa and Chicago during the Veritgo Tour!

Keep up the good work in Africa. I hope to go there one day myself. I am happy to hear that the well project is in Zimbabwe this year as I am very interested in what is going on in that Country and how it affects my sponsored child, Learnmore.

Love ya!

Happy, Happy Birthday Bono!

I had the opportunity of attending the U2 show in Cleveland, OH on December 10, 2005. It was an awesome time- and I was wearing my ONE bracelet.

Thank you for never tiring of doing good for the benefit of "the least of these". I am proud of you for taking your platform as a celebrity and choosing to use it in the way you have. Continue to stay in the Word and your heart will stay tender. As with each of us, it is so hard to put aside our selfish desires and to have the mind of Christ. Keep on keeping on the narrow path.

Whenever I listen to a U2 album, I remember to pray for you, the band and your marriages.

Have a great birthday and an Awesome year!

Happy Birthday Bono! I have been so blessed by
your music!! I am especially fond of "Walk On"
and I am now reading that book as well. My husband, Richmond, is a MEGA fan of U2 and has
introduced me to you "again", since the 80's
when we were teen-agers. We recently went to
your concert in Atlanta in November 2005. I was
really "blown away" by just the tone/mood in the
arena. I could sense the Holy Spirit's presence in such a mighty way and I have been praying for
you and the rest of U2 daily since then! We feel
like you are one of our best friends. Thanks for
following the Lord's voice in helping to give Africa a voice on earth! God bless you!
By the way, we would absolutely love to chat with
you sometime.

Walk on....
