Just read it on Yahoo news-God Bless His Soul-"in the arms of the angels-may he find some comfort there".
So sad to post this-but Bono's Dad is "in the arms of the angels" now

Oh, Lord... He's in God's hands now, but I can't help but think about how Bono must be feeling right now. And on his anniversary! Bono, you are in my prayers always. God Bless, the Lord be your rock and salvation. We love you.
Hearing this, I don't think I'll be back to this forum today. Given what's happening to Bono, I think it's better to respect him and ignore "lust." I'll talk to you all tomorrow, and please keep Bono in your prayers!

OOHHHHH...POOR BONO AND NORMAN!!! And God please take care of Bobby!! My thoughts and prayers are with them!!! Gosh, Bono certainly has had his share of sorrows in his lifetime.
This is a very bittersweet day...it's also Bono and Ali's 19th wedding anniversary!!!
What a day for remembrances...
Disco...VERY sad and thoughtful...

"Kite"
Something
Is about to give
I can feel it coming
I think I know what it means
I'm not afraid to die
I'm not afraid to live
And when I'm flat on my back
I hope to feel like I did
And hardness
It sets in
You need some protection
The thinner the skin
I want you to know
That you don't need me anymore
I want you to know
You don't need anyone
Or anything at all
Who's to say where the wind will take you
Who's to say what it is will break you
I don't know
Which way the wind will blow
Who's to know when the time has come around
Don't want to see you cry
I know that this is not goodbye
It's summer, I can taste the salty sea
There's a kite blowing out of control on the breeze
I wonder what's gonna happen to you
You wonder what has happened to me
I'm a man
I'm not a child
A man who sees
The shadow behind your eyes
Who's to say where the wind will take you
Who's to say what it is will break you
I don't know
Where the wind will blow
Who's to know when the time has come around
I don't want to see you cry
I know that this is not goodbye
Did I waste it
Not so much I couldn't taste it
Life should be fragrant
Rooftop to the basement
The last of the rocks stars
When hip hop drove the big cars
In the time when new media
Was the big idea
That was the big idea

Mad1, don't feel weird, this is what comforts those who believe in heaven, the idea that we will be reunited with those who have left this world before us. I'm not a very religious person, but I sincerely hope that Bono will find peace in his faith during this troubling time. Our hearts are with him.

It's really weird. I actually had this want to listen to ATYCLB this morning, and so I did.
Does anyone know what they're gonna do with that petition now?

I feel so sad for the Hewson family.
I think it is a good idea to put aside the goofiness just for today.
I feel just terrible for Bono and his family. I wish there was something I could do.
What a difficult time for Bono with Slane and everything. My heart goes out to him and his family. This is a very sad day.

Very sad. I don't know what to say or think. Just prayers and thoughts for the Hewsons today. Also for the rest of the band...they're like an extended family and I'm sure it must be very hard for Edge, Adam, and Larry to watch Bono go through this.
We'll think about the petition later. Today is not the day, I think.

So strange... When I first saw the news, I was sad, but it didn't hit me very hard.
Then, I went here and saw everyone's posts, and started crying.
This place is wonderful. I just needed to say that. The outpouring of concern and support is just overwhelming, and I wish Bono WOULD come and see it.
Well, anyway, I really can't say anything, having never experienced a loss like this, but I'm praying for Bono and his family, and I wish them strength.
I'm not going to post any more today, at least not on any other threads.
Breathe life into this feeble heart
Lift this mortal veil of fear
Take these crumbled hopes, etched with tears
We'll rise above these earthly cares
Cast your eyes on the ocean
Cast your soul to the sea
When the dark night seems endless
Please remember me

I too had an urge to listen to ATYCLB this morning. Strange.
I found out through this very thread this morning at work-and immediately went to the bathroom to cry.
I agree with leaving things quiet today, it just wouldn't be appropriate to have "business as usual".
My thoughts are with Bono, Ali, the children and the rest of U2 on this sad day.

(I won't be afraid.
I'll be alright if you help me
I know you're looking down from heaven
And I won't let you down
I'll be everything you taught me
And all that I know is I'll wait
Patiently to see you in heaven)
Sorry I never told you
All I wanted to say
And now it's too late to hold you
'Cause you've flown away
So far away
Never had I imagined
Living without your smile
Feeling and knowing you're hearing me
It keeps me alive
Alive
And I know you're shining down on me from heaven
Like so many friends we've lost along the way
And I know eventually we'll be together(Together)
One sweet day
And I'll wait
Patienly to see you in heaven
Darling I never showed you
(I never showed you)
Assumed you'd always be there
(I thought you'd always be there)
And I, I took your presence for granted
But I always cared
(But I always cared)
And I miss the love we shared
And I know you're shining down on me from heaven
Like so many friends we've lost along the way(Lost along the way)
And I know eventually we'll be together(We'll be together)
One sweet day
And all that I know is I'll wait
Patiently to see you in heaven
Although the sun will never shine the same
I'll always look to a brighter day
Lord I know when I lay me down to sleep
You will always listen as I pray
And I know you're shining down on me from heaven
Like so many friends we've lost along the way
And I know eventually we'll be together(We'll be together)
One sweet day
And I know you're shining down on me from heaven
