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.

Friday's Headlines

DateFriday, February 26, 2010
  • Gore in Afghanistan?  Reports, as yet unconfirmed, suggest missing global warming Nobel laureate, Al Gore, may hiding in remote Afghanistan cave to avoid being questioned about near ice-age conditions gripping planet from Asia to Europe to North America.  U.S. Troops, Afghan forces, told to be on the lookout for bearded tall guy in parka and mukluks who is not Osama Bin Laden.   
  • Tough news for health care reformers:  CNN poll – that’s right, CNN – reveals only 24% of Americans now back Democrats health care approach.  Other 76% need health care immediately, however, because reform proposals advanced so far have made them wanna throw up…on both sides of the aisle.
  • Head of Germany’s 25 million Protestants, Bishop Margot Kaessmann, blows through red light, breathalyzer, and career, in that order.  Resigns just four months after becoming only the third woman to head a major Christian church.  Cops say the cleric was absolutely ossified – blood-alcohol level triple the legal limit. 
  • “Barkeep” of the House:  “Maker’s Mark Whiskey, Courvoisier, Johnny Walker, Grey Goose, E&J Brandy, Bailey’s, Bacardi, Jim Beam, Beefeaters, Dewars, Bombay, Jack Daniels …Corona.”   Dream order for a frat party?  No.  One receipt for part of the $101,000 “in-flight services” tab for Speaker Pelosi’s trips on Air Force jets over the last two years.  Almost a grand a week.  And, of course: “Your Taxpayer Dollars at Work.”
  • “First, the good news Mr. Villanueva.  Your diseased leg was successfully removed.  Now the bad news, Mr. Villanueva…so was your perfectly okay leg.”  Surgeons in Lima, Peru leave patient, quite literally, without a leg to stand on.  Made teensy tiny error.  Got left leg confused with right…wound up removing both.  “Hey, they do kind’a look alike…”
  • Athens, Georgia:  Police try to pick up trail of none-too-discriminating sex predator…after would-be rapist jumps cross-dresser.  Attacker tore victim’s clothes away only to discover he’d assaulted man dressed as woman.  Police say suspect will be charged with “criminal attempted rape” when they locate him, regardless.  Victim’s okay. Still feels pretty.
  • “Susan Boyle mistaken for Queen.”  Scottish singer “bowed and curtseyed to,” after London travel officials were told to “expect a royal passenger” and briefly believed Boyle was Elizabeth.  Question:   So which one should be more insulted, diva or monarch?  Answer:  Jump ball.
  • “Designated Drunk.”    Police in East Austin, Texas say 39-year-old Raunel Soto was so intoxicated he was unable to stand when they made a nighttime stop of his car.  But it was okay.  He had a designated driver.  No it wasn’t.  Driver was Soto’s 14-year-old niece.  Who was also hammered.  As were the two 16-year-olds in back seat.  Car attracted officers’ attention by driving through front yards rather than street.  Yep, that’ll do it.
