Do I really wanna go there..... AWW why the hell not!
TW4L you question you ask is a very scary one, and I can honestly tell you that I would either be dead or out of my mind.
Yes they are all prettiful to look at and drool over, but my love for U2 runs much deeper than their looks, their music is a part of my soul!
When I was 9 Iwas involved in a really nasty car wreck and because of it I had to have 8 very painful operations and PT until I was 18, and the first thing I packed to go to the hospital was my walkman and U2 tapes,I knew as long as I had U2 there with me I would be ok. Then high school was pure hell I was teased and picked on because I walked funny and was a loner anyway and I had Achtung Baby and my bestest friend Tanya to lean on.
When I was 19 my cousin (Mom to both me and Tanya) became ill and needed chemo, and we didn't know if she would live or die and as our last "big hoorah" she took Tanya and I to see POP MART when they came to Memphis, she even booked a room at the hotel they stayed at and all I will say about that is that was 3 of the happiest days of my life those are truely four of the most beautiful men I have ever met or ever will meet! When Bono autograped my mom's RS he signed it "remember your faith"and for months those three days were all my mom wanted to talk about she refused to talked about her illness, she'd just sayI don't wanna talk about it I have faith! I 'm not sure she had "faith" that she would pull through before those three days.
When I was 22 I had a little girl named Reanna, who lived for 15 hours, to say the least I was heart broken. I felt like my baby is dead what reason do I have for living... I remember it was around Christmas and I was so dpressed thinking Reanna should be here, I had even stopped listening to U2 I felt like it would be unfair for me to be happy( dunno if that makes any sence) I had gotten to the point where I was just drowning in my grief and didn't want to go on living, I had gotten up the nerve to "do it" and that same day my husband came home with ATYCLB I still don't know what possesed me to put the CD on but I did I remember hitting the repeat button and what happened next still gives me goose bumps to this day.......
I fell alseep and in my dream I'm sitting in a diner and Bono and Edge walk up to me and sat down and I don't really remember what we talked about or if we even talked at all, but Edge got up and walked off and when he came back he had Reanna in his arms,I reached out and took her from him and held her to me and just started sobbing, then Bono took my face in his hand and made me look at him, he looked me dead in the eyes and said " Heather Listen to me You are still a mother, Most mothers carry their Children in their arms but You get to carry yours in your heart forever and that is so special" then I woke up and have had a different out look on life since then.
I have always wondered if they truely realise the impact they have on peoples lives and souls.........I know I never would have made it through half the shit I made it through if it wasn't for them and the gift of their music.
