Four weeks ago, I attended a U2 concert with my two sons in Cleveland. Through a series of serendipitous circumstances, I was able to send a message to the band through one of their workers, who I met on Megabus to Chicago. I told them how much the performance meant to me in light of Evie\u2019s death. The first concert I ever took her to was U2 in Cardiff for her 13th birthday, and hearing them play in Cleveland really lifted me up. This note is their text in response to my message to them.\u00a0<a class=\"_58cn decorated-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/hashtag\/lovemercyevie?source=feed_text&amp;story_id=10155551078087128\" data-ft='{\"tn\":\"*N\",\"type\":104}' target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span class=\"_5afx\"><span class=\"_58cl _5afz\">#<\/span><span class=\"_58cm\">lovemercyevie<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/scontent-ort2-1.xx.fbcdn.net\/v\/t1.0-9\/20375709_10155551078062128_5330386035079668026_n.jpg?oh=14af1b0c854c26f940c6f65b9d8e4aab&amp;oe=5A33BA26\" alt=\"No automatic alt text available.\"><\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reader Gareth Peoples writes: Today is my daughter\u00a0Evie Peoples\u2018 21st birthday.
