Sometimes Y'NEVANO
I've been a U2 fan for over 20 years. My dream was to meet Bono. Not for his celebrity, but because his art has affected my life so deeply.
I'm not one for writing down wishes, but early this year I
decided to take more chances, because the older I get the more I
realize that sometimes you never know. So, I went to the store
and purchased a board and called it my "wish board". On it I
placed different things I wished for. One of which was to meet
Bono.
And I went about my life.
A month ago, my husband and I are looking for parking, when we’re about to take a left turn on 79th Street and Amsterdam in NYC, and my husband says to me, "Isn't that Bono?". I look and don't believe. My eyes say yes, but my brain says, it can't be that simple. I look at the woman he is walking with, and see that it's his wife. My heart races, and as we take that left turn, my husband rolls down the window and I shout "BONO !!!!". Bono turns around and looks at me, and all the words I thought I'd say to him suddenly leave me. All that came out was "I LOVE YOU !!!!" A surreal momentfor me, but had it ended there, my wish wouldn't have been complete. You see, Bono walked over to our car in the middle of the street, stuck his hand through the drivers window, shook my hand, smiled and then walked away.
Wish complete.
