Martha I’ve been trying to finish this vid in time for your birthday (yeah yeah I know I’m supposed to be relaxing and recovering, but Rob is very therapeutic). Â Anyway this really isn’t enough to thank you for all the magazines and heartfelt wishes you have sent us (and others at RPAU) over the last few weeks and I just wanted you to know we are thinking about you as we start to say goodbye to your birthday and you start to say hello. Â See you get 2 days here at RPAU (and people make fun of me for celebrating an entire week)! Â (PS. Â Thanks Vertigo for inspiration on how to finish this vid)!
Hope you have a fantastic day tomorrow – you certainly deserve it and you certainly have mine, Michelle’s, Vertigo’s, Â Lise-Lou’s and your RPAU family’s heartfelt best wishes. Â And now over to Bono & U2 …
I need you to elevate me here
At the corner of your lips
As the orbit of your hips
Eclipse, you elevate my soul
I’ve got no self control
Been living like a mole now
Going down, excavation
I and I in the sky
You make me feel like I can fly
So high, elevation
Wow @Maria – I feel like its my birthday too! Awesome.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY @MarthaM – I’ve very happy you’re such an inspiring friend.
Hope you had a great day! 😀
This video is fantastic. I feel like I have my birthday today.
Thank You very much!
Happy birthday Martha!!!! I hope that all your wishes come true and that you have the best day. You so deserve it!!!! *popscorkoncampagneandtoastsMartha* Thanks for letting us enjoy your birthday gift as well!!
Love the vid Maria, just brilliant.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARTHA *throws streamers & raises glass* You are such a sweet, wonderful & kind person Martha & truly deserve the best birthday ever!! You have a heart of gold & I cannot put into words how much we appreciate you sending us the Rob mags that you have & for all the kind words & thoughts you have sent our way. Seriously THANK YOU so so much Martha. Lots of love & hugs to you 😀
Maria, you video is BRILLIANT. I love it so so much & I know how thrilled Martha is going to be when she sees it. I cannot wait for her reaction 😀
OMG!!! OMG!!! OMG!!! *sobbinglikeababy* I have no words to thank you all. @Maria thank you from the bottom of my soul. You have no idea how special you’ve made my birthday. OMG! *wipestears*. You have made me feel beyond special. This is truly one of the best birthdays ever, and actually it really is my birthday it’s past midnight and what an awesome, beautiful way to start it. And so much “Little Ashes” my all time fave. You remembered, wow! *wipestearsagain*. And you U2 one of my favorite bands. I’ve been lucky enough to have seen them 4 times. How truly blessed I am. Thank you God for putting me here, for letting my find all these special, wonderful women, that I consider my friends, my sisters. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU WITH ALL MY HEART. I love you all so very much. Wow how special you’ve made this day. *wipestears&blowsnose) I know TMI. Thanks again :-).
I will never….ever forget this day for as long as I live. Mwuah kisses and hugs to you all. *can’tstopcrying)
With pleasure Martha and YES *fistpumps* I did incorporate Little Ashes for that reason. Wow I wasn’t sure if you were a U2 fan but it’s hard to not love that song and well – we all lose control when it comes to Rob. Hahaha 4 times – me I’ve only seen them twice, but they were in Greece and LA when I was there so there’s an inside joke in my family that Bono is actually stalking me.
Well now I’m just chuffed that you love it so much. I included loads of early Rob vids in case you hadn’t seen them. *Raisesglass*
@Michelle, you didn’t have to wait much. I’m beyond words everything I’ve said doesn’t come close to what I’m feeling. There are no words to describe it. Thank you Michelle for all your kind thoughts, words, and wishes. I couldn’t ask for anything more. Well maybe Rob ha ha ha. But you girls are up there with him. Thanks a million. *stillwipingtears*
Oh and Maria you should be resting, so it just makes me even more grateful knowing that instead of resting you waisted all your energy on me. Love you, and a million hugs & kisses.
Happy birthday Martha “hon” You have the best day you amazing adorable lady xox Big hugs
@Cindy thank you Hon, I’m already having one of the best days of my life. Hugs & kisses to you too.
@Maria I don’t think there’s anyone who doesn’t like U2, they’re one of the best bands alive. I can’t wait for my sister to see it. To her Bono is what Rob is to us. That’s who I’ve seen them with. God I can’t thank you enough.
Bonus @Martha I make both of you happy I hope 😀
Oh Maria you don’t even know.
Aww Martha your so cute.
I love the video Maria, its awesome 😀
Happy Birthday Martha, have a drink for us 😀
I must try to get some sleep, I don’t want to, and I doubt it’ll happen, my adrenaline is out of control with excitement, but I should at least try. Thanks again Maria and all of you, for making this day the best ever. You girls have a great night. I know I am. Hugs & kisses to you all.
The birthday girl is here – woo hooo!!!! Myself & Vertigo had a sneak preview of the vid last night & we just could NOT wait for you to see it. Knew you would absolutely LOVE Maria’s masterpiece. I know I’ve watched it many times already. Once again Martha, I hope you have the best day ever. You deserve it all 😀
Night Martha xoxox
@Caro thank you. I’m not much of a drinker, but I’ll make an exception for all of you. I know I sound like a scratched record, but thank you all, really it meant the world to me. Goodnight everyone.
@Michelle it truly is a masterpiece and I adored it. I can’t stop watching or crying. I’m already having the best day ever. Thanks to all of you. Goodnight, Oh God I just want to keep watching “MY” vid. But I must get some sleep, after all I can watch it later today and all day, which I will of course. Thanks again. Love you
Maria that vid is awesome (as usual!)
Happy birthday Martha, always enjoy your comments 🙂
@Martha M, I know I’m a bit late but, happy birthday to you and may all your wishes in life come true. Hope you have a great day xoxoxo
Happy Birthday Martha (I almost missed it, our time anyway). I hope you have an absolutely wonderful day enjoying your special video (fantastic job Maria).
It’s easy to tell that you are a very generous and loving person. I hope your loved ones are extra generous and loving on your special day because we can’t be there with you in person to celebrate. *blowskisses*
@Martha M – Squeeee. Happy Birthday Girlfriend. Where would we be without you? Your comments are always as delightful as you are. I wish for you every bit of joy imaginable. Have a marvellous day. Kisses & hugs.
@Maria – I might be a bit biased, but I think this is your best vid ever. I loved the Dali emphasis. Now, you must rest.
‘Sausages on a bus’
Martha – you are joy.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Sunshine and may the best and most beautiful life has to offer always come your way … you really do deserve it.
Thankyou for being your adorable self and for the heart tingly comments you gift us each day (and Rob).
