This Isn’t Our Last Love Letter 

   
Dear Don Don,
 
Way back in 92

I walked into the room and knew

Never felt this way before

I shook your hand while gazing into your eyes

And the feeling grew

As I took a seat I knew

A love that would have my heart

Forever

I knew

Way back in 92


They say love at first sight doesn’t always last or isn’t true

We were the exception to that rule

Our love had no where to hide

A spark set fire

As if this is how the universe started


I never doubted our love or what we could do

Together we grew

Forming a bond everlasting

That became our glue

My euphoria was YOU

I’m eternally grateful for the love and life we shared

For how fortunate we were :

“to have and to hold
through sickness and in health
Til death do us part”

Until we are together again

This isn’t our last love letter

I love you with all my heart and soul

Yours forever,

Deirdre  (Mrs. Hank Snow)

I’m fortunate to have fallen in love with, marry and make a life with the sharpest, coolest, funniest, most rare, bad ass, tender loving, loyal man on the planet, my husband Don Imus.


A True American Hero

 

I don’t know why it has been so hard for me to write about my dear friend Don Imus.

I certainly know what he meant to me, my family, my charity, my hospital and the millions of fans that listened and loved him for so many years.


I keep reading all the beautiful condolences that people are writing about how much a part of their lives were effected by listening to him over the years.

But what most people don’t talk enough about is what he did for all of us.

 

In every sense of the word, he was an American Hero. His work with children with so many different illnesses and his dedication to their future was unmatched by anyone I have ever known or heard about.

Besides raising over $100,000,000 for so many causes, he took care of young people for over 20 years in a state where he could not breathe.  Along with his incredible wife Deirdre, he created a world where children were not defined by their disease. That was a miracle! He was a miracle.

 

I will miss him ever day for the rest of my life.
I was blessed to be a part of his and Deirde’s life.
No one will ever do what he did.
I love you Don Imus - A TRUE AMERICAN HERO

A Tribute To Don Imus

Children’s Health Defense joins parents of vaccine-injured children and advocates for health freedom in remembering the life of Don Imus, a media maverick in taking on uncomfortable topics that most in the mainstream press avoid or shut down altogether. His commitment to airing all sides of controversial issues became apparent to the autism community in 2005 and 2006 as the Combating Autism Act (CAA) was being discussed in Congress. The Act, which was ultimately signed into law by George W. Bush in December of 2006, created unprecedented friction among parents of vaccine-injured children and members of Congress; parents insisted that part of the bill’s billion-dollar funding be directed towards environmental causes of autism including vaccines, while most U.S. Senators and Representatives tried to sweep any such connections under the rug.

Don Imus Leaves a Trail of Way More Than Dust 

Don Imus Was Abrupt, Harsh And A One-Of-A-Kind, Fearless Talent

By Michael Riedel - The one and only time I had a twinge of nerves before appearing on television was when I made my debut in 2011 on “Imus in the Morning” on the Fox Business Channel. I’d been listening to Don Imus, who died Friday at 79, since the 1990s as an antidote the serious (bordering on the pompous) hosts on National Public Radio. I always thought it would be fun to join Imus and his gang — news anchor Charles McCord, producer Bernard McGuirk, comedian Rob Bartlett — in the studio, flinging insults back and forth at one another. And now I had my chance. I was invited on to discuss to discuss “Spider-Man, Turn Off the Dark,” the catastrophic Broadway musical that injured cast members daily.

Bill O'Reilly Comes Clean on Exactly Which Person is the Right Candidate to Face Obama in 2012

Bill O’Reilly, host of The O’Reilly Factor on Fox News, thinks Donald Trump will run for president, and not just because somebody close to Trump told him so. “Trump is a guy who does what he wants,” O’Reilly said.  “If this amuses him, if this interests him, I think he’d give it a go.”
 
Even though, as Imus observed, the press would have a field day with it. “You’ve got to have a strong stomach to do what you do, to do what I do, and certainly to run for the president,” O’Reilly told Imus. “You’ve got to anticipate that that’s going to come.”
 
He acknowledged Trump’s dislike for criticism, as evidenced by his feud a few years ago with Rosie O’Donnell, a battle O’Reilly supports. “The reason I’m considering voting for Donald Trump is that he will deport Rosie O’Donnell,” he said. Informed that Imus likes Rosie, O’Reilly replied, “You can like her in Finland.”
 
Trump has latched on to the so-called “birther” movement, demanding to see President Obama’s birth certificate as proof he was born in the United States. O’Reilly believes this move is for attention-getting purposes only.
 
“Trump’s a smart guy—this is what people underestimate about him,” he said. “So, you’re going to break into the presidential sweepstakes? You take an issue like that, which immediately guarantees you huge press and gets you 30 percent of the public that believes there’s some chicanery going on there. They love you already, because you’re not calling them simpletons.”
 
O’Reilly predicted that if Trump runs, he’ll quickly abandon the birther issue. “But that’s a smart move to get in the game,” he added.
 
For O’Reilly, who makes a living critquing American politics and all the associated ugliness, the 2012 presidential election is a fascinating topic on which to speculate. “I think it’s going to be a great election in the sense that it’s all about Barack Obama, just as it was last time,” he said. “But this time he comes in with some deficits.”
 
As for the Republican side, O’Reilly admitted he has no clue what will happen, though he later speculated that former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney might be the only Republican who could take on Obama—and maybe beat him—on economic issues.
 
“That’s going to be huge,” O’Reilly said. “But then you strip away all the crazy ideology out of it, and I don’t know if he’s going to be able to get the nomination.”All other potential nominees, in his view, “are going to get sidetracked by their histories, and their press, and this and that. But Romney can take him one-on-one.”
 
But what if the Republicans really want to beat Obama, Imus wondered—who would be the best candidate?
 
Without missing a beat, O’Reilly replied, “Me,” then laughed. “I’m such a narcissist!”
 
It’s why he fits in so well on this program.
