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.

Jess Lockwood

Jess Lockwood - Genuine sports phenoms – immense talents scouted heavily in their youth who gain the mental comportment to match freakish physical skills, enabling them to become World Champions – are rare, and beautiful. Jess Lockwood isn’t quite yet a Tiger Woods or a Wayne Gretzky – especially in a brutal sport where lives can change in an instant. But PBR’s reigning world champion, who did just what the pundits predicted he would at 20 years old, is a story worth watching.
 
In 2017, capping one of the tightest championship races in league history, Lockwoodentered the record books as the youngest World Champion in PBR (Professional Bull Riders) history.  His march to the title and its million-dollar bonus also demonstrated that the five-foot-five-inch, 130-pound cowboy taking on punishing bulls 12-15 times his size, may be, pound-for-pound, one of the toughest athletes in sports. 

The 2016 Rookie of the Year began his second year, and first full season, on the elite tour on a high note, winning the season opening Major at Madison Square Garden, $117,183.33, and 860 world points. 

Jess soared to world No.1, holding that ranking the first six weeks of the year until suffering several serious injuries he remarkably battled back from in his title march, including:
 
- A torn groin at the Iron Cowboy at AT&T Stadium on Feb. 18 sidelined Jess for five weeks.
 
- Knocked unconscious in Springfield, Missouri on Sept. 9 by World Champion Bull SweetPro’s Bruiser just three events after a win in Oklahoma.
  
- One week later, after being carried out of the arena on a backboard, returned in Austin, rode two bulls for 90-plus points, and won the event title.   

- The following weekend in late September, suffered four broken ribs, a punctured lung and lacerated kidney after being stomped by Blue Magic at Buck Off the Island.Jess spent 30 hours in a Long Island hospital and was driven cross-country by his bull-riding buddy Stetson Lawrence to family in North Dakota. He came down with pneumonia during the 1,600-plus mile trek.
 
- Two events later, returned to action in Raleigh, North Carolina, two weeks earlier than doctor’s orders.
 
- Entering the World Finals, Lockwood strapped a giant back of ice around his torso in the T-Mobile Arena locker room and then went out to make history by winning the first three rounds of the event on three consecutive nights, including two 90-point rides, reclaiming the world No. 1 standing for the first time since February. He concluded the five-day, sixround event 447.5 points ahead of No. 2 Derek Kolbaba. 
 
Lockwood became the second rider in PBR history (along with Silvano Alves in 2010-2011) to win the PBR Rookie of the Year and World Champion title in back-to-back seasons. He is the fourth Rookie of the Year to become World Champion. 
 
As the Montana cowboy begins his quest to earn his second world title, would you be interested in covering this superstar athlete on an apparent track to becoming one of the all-time greats of his sport
