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.

BUCKY F*CKING DENT: A Novel

 

David Duchovny’s richly drawn Bucky F*cking Dent explores the bonds between fathers and sons and the age-old rivalry between Yankee fans and the Fenway faithful, and grapples with our urgent need to preserve—and risk everything—in the name of love. Culminating in that fateful moment in October of ’78 when the mighty Bucky Dent hit his way into baseball history with the unlikeliest of home runs, this tender, insightful, and hilarious novel demonstrates how life truly belongs to the losers, and that the long shots are the ones worth betting on.  Bucky F*cking Dent is a singular tale that brims with the mirth, poignancy, and profound solitude of modern life.

Rob O'Neill: The Navy SEAL Who Shot Osama Bin Laden

Robert O’Neill was born and raised in Butte, Montana, and lived there for nineteen years until he joined the Navy in 1996. Deploying as a SEAL more than a dozen times, O’Neill participated in more than four hundred combat missions across four different theaters of war. During his remarkable career, he was decorated more than fifty-two times. Among the honors he received were two Silver Stars, four Bronze Stars with Valor, a Joint Service Commendation Medal with Valor, three Presidential Unit Citations, and a Navy/Marine Corps Commendation Medal with Valor. Robert O’Neill helped cofound Your Grateful Nation, an organization committed to transitioning Special Operations veterans into their next successful career.  You can find him at robertjoneill.com.

NAVY SEAL HERO ROBERT O’NEILL RECOUNTS HIS EXTRAORDINARY SEAL MISSIONS, INCLUDING THE MAY 2011 BIN LADEN RAID IN NEW MEMOIR THE OPERATOR FIRING THE SHOTS THAT KILLED OSAMA BIN LADEN AND MY YEARS AS A SEAL TEAM WARRIOR

Growing up in Butte, Montana, Robert O’Neill lived the life of many American teens. He was a standout high school basketball player who liked to hunt. He was a good runner, but he didn’t know how to swim. After high school, he attended a local college, but joined the Navy on a whim to fight distant battles and perhaps return to the local pub “with a few war stories to impress the regulars.” Robert O’Neill would have “a few war stories” for them indeed.  On April 25, Scribner will proudly publish former Navy SEAL Robert O’Neill’s memoir The Operator: Firing the Shots that Killed Osama bin Laden and My Years as a SEAL Team Warrior (Scribner, $28.00/hardcover; on-sale: April 25, 2017) which will relate these stories and much more.  An intimate and absorbing journey into the hearts, minds, and experiences of America’s most elite fighting unit, The Operator dramatically recounts O’Neill’s remarkable 400-mission career, from the extreme SEAL training he endured through the perilous missions in which he participated, including the rescues of Captain Richard Phillips from Somali pirates and extracting “Lone Survivor” SEAL Marcus Luttrell from behind enemy lines in Afghanistan. Riveting in the new glimpses it offers into a decade of intense Special Forces missions, The Operator vividly places readers alongside O’Neill as he enters mazelike buildings under the cloak of night, encounters predators attacking from false walls, and makes swift, life-saving decisions. Yet, all of the years of training and missions in the world’s most dangerous regions were a prelude to the May 2011 secret U.S. attack on Osama bin Laden’s Pakistan compound, in which O’Neill fired the three shots that dispatched the world’s most wanted terrorist. In pulse-pounding, minute-by-minute detail, The Operator recounts O’Neill’s painstaking training for the bin Laden mission, what he and his fellow SEALs experienced in the wee hours that night, and what happened when O’Neill came face to face with the man who had claimed thousands of American lives.  By the end of his extraordinary career, Robert O’Neill would be decorated more than fifty-two times for his service with the SEALs. The Operator recounts his historic contributions to America’s war on terror and what it was like to fight among America’s most elite combat warriors.
