Thanks for all of your get well wishes.
I'm enjoying the translating. So here's the 2nd part. Forgive me for any errors:
Although she's married to the world's most famous rockstar, she isn't your typical rockstar wife. She rarely goes to parties, never shows up in borrowed or free designer clothes, and neither has any interest in free designer bags from Louis Vuitton or Tod's. "Me not being your typical rocker's wife, could tell you more about Bono then about me", Ali says. The more famous he got, the more I retracted myself in the shadows.
The result of that is that we live a reasonable normal life when he's home. In Ireland I'm quite well known as well, but we can still go and have a snack in the local pub without being hassled there."
For special occasions, she's willing to sacrifice her beloved privacy. Back in 1993 for instance, when she agreed to present the Oscar winning documentary Black Wind, White Land, about the consequenses being suffered by habitants of White Russia of the nuclear disaster in Chernobyl in 1986. Since last year, she's making an exception again, this time as the driving force behind Edun, the fair trade jeans label that she has launched together with her husband and designer Rohan Gregory. "If I can help with making the Third World liveable again and at the same time raise consumer awareness, why wouldn't I do it? It's better then staying at home and just write a big, fat check from time to time for some charity organisation", she states. "I couldn't do it, just watching from the sidelines.
Since I was young, I've been dreaming to help people. I've always wanted to become a nurse. I already pictured myself in a hospital at the other side of the world. Helping people, giving them medicines, talking with them.
The training to become a nurse was too demanding and couldn't be combined with a husband who travelled the world. It would have strained our relationship too much, so I gave up that dream.
I'd choose to study political and social sciences instead to get insight in the world and learn to do something to help and make it better. It's not the same, but it comes pretty close to nursing."
ALI FOR PRESIDENT
At the evening before our meeting the couple presented the new winter collection of Edun in a gallery near Central Park. Don't expect a big, fancy party for the Bono family label, it's an intimate and casual affair where artists, friends and a few journalists were invited.
Moby was there, Michael Stipe and Lou Reed. A sort of celebrity party by coincidence, with a eccentric jazzband, naive paintings on the walls and Bono speaking passionately about projects he's involved in.
Ali stood by his side and listened to her man with on her face an expression of pride and well hidden amusement. Bono's legendary charm still gets to her, even though she knows him better than anyone.
I tell her that he almost gave me a heart attack that night. The singer spotted my little notebook, he then grabbed it out of my hands and signed it. She laughs out loud. "You think that's charming?" Some people would call that megalomania."
Coming from someone else, this comment could soumd quite sour, but not when it comes from Bono's loving wife. She doesn't put him on a pedestal. If he returns home after a tour and has to go cold turkey from all the addictive attention, she sometimes tells him quite bluntly that his family is not a crowd of 50.000 people, the table no stage and would he please shut his mouth. Bono says sometimes, jokingly, that he feels like some displaced goods at home, waiting to be sorted. "She's the evil eye", he tells Time Magazine in 1987. "I musn't try to flaunt with her. She's got her own mind, she knows what she wants. So you could call our relationship stormy." But he also calls her his hero, an example of mental health, despite of the fact that she has chosen to spend her life with him.
Dreams
U2-biographer Eamon Dunph agrees that Ali is Bono's best character trade. Calm, rational and not easily impressed by a famous name. During writing songs for U2's album War, the singer wrestled with writer's block. Each morning Ali dragged him out of bed and put a pen in his hand. The song The Sweetest Thing he wrote for her birthday, which he forgot. Ali claimed the rights of the song and the profits of it went to charity. Bono did let her star in the video and she could pick the extras, she choose for The Chippendales, an elephant and the boyband Boyzone.
"We have been able to put up with each other for so long, Ali explains, because we give each other the freedom to do something with our life. We dream each other's dreams. Bono stimulates me to develop myself. He backs me up all the way."
Standing up for a better world is a big thing these two've got in common. After the first Live Aid concert in 1985 the couple went to Ethiopia for five weeks, where they worked in an orphanage as volunteers. Not long after that Ali enrolled in college. Two weeks after Jordan's birth, their first girl, she graduated as a political scientist. Although she was planning to add a study Morals and Ethics to her curriculum, she gave birth two years later to her daughter Eve. Because studying wasn't an option then, she decided to become an activist instead and to fight against the nuclear plant in Sellafield, Great Britain, which got rid of its waste water in the Irish Sea. Her actions didn't go by unnoticed. When the British government opened a site where nuclear waste from over the whole world be stored, she got U2 to hand out protective suits during the delivery of radioactive mud.
After that followed the famous documentary in 1993, and she was a patroness of an Irish charity project which helped children who suffered distortions due to the Chernobyl disaster. In 2002 she got 1,2 out of 1,3 Irish households to send a card to the British Prime Minister, Prince Charles and Norman Askew, the President of British Nuclear Fuels, on the cards a plea to finally close down Sellafield.
It's not very surprising that the Irish Labour Party did ask her in 2004 if she wanted to run for President. Ali turned the request dow: "I don't have the capacities and I have to raise four kids. And because my husband tells me that us six would never fit in the presidential residence." was how she explained her decision to the BBC. In the middle of her career of an activist the couple had two more children, two boys this time: Elijah Bob Patricius Guggi Q en John Abraham.
Now that she has Edun to watch over as well, she has to, like every working mother, organise her household strictly.
The kids are already 16, 14, 6 and 4 years old. They know very well what I'm doing if I aren't home.", she says. "If one of them would suffer because of my job, I'd stop. But they fully support us, and they learn much this way. Our household functions like a militairy operation. Before we leave, the four children have to stand in line and they get their orders for the coming week. It's a fulltime task to keep up with who's being where at which moment of the day."
. There is only one problem: it is in Dutch so not many people will understand it.
Ah well! "We dream each other's dreams." 
Oh Bono....
