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.

Tuesday, April 13: Illegal Nose-Blowing, Legal Deer Sex, and Jesus is Back!

DateTuesday, April 13, 2010
  • Spike TV dumps even re-runs of Jesse James aptly titled reality show, “Jesse James is a Dead Man.”  In the series, Jesse played a death-defying daredevil doing all sorts of potentially bone-splattering stuff; cars, motorcycles, what have you.  But his “stunt” with tattooed tart?  Unsurvivable.
  • Poached?  Scrambled?  I’ll just have mine "tortured," thanks.  Humane Society accuses egg producers of “rampant abuse” of hens.  Organization has video of two major egg production facilities in Iowa whose operations we won’t describe here on a family website – except to say that hens are kept in conditions you wouldn’t subject Osama Bin Laden to.  Well, maybe.  But probably not.  Bon appetite.
  • Sports news:  Chicago Cubs add Wrigley Field “ambassadors” to their lineup…people whose job will be to try to make certain fans have as satisfying an experience as possible for prices like $330 for a family of four.  Given that last Cubs’ championship was 102 years ago – they also might want to try adding somebody who can play above Little League level to their lineup, to further enhance fans “satisfying Wrigley Field experience.”
  • Porn:  Not just for the ‘visually unimpaired’ anymore.  Porn magazine for the blind launches; complete with “raised images” of naked – and anatomically correct – men and women.  Brainchild of Canadian Lisa Murphy who says, “The blind have been left out in a culture saturated with sexual images.”   Hear, hear.  And attention New York Governor David Paterson.
  • Another Jesus sighting!  Latest appearance of a Holy Family member shows up on bolt of cloth in Turin, Italy!  Thousands of Christian faithful already lining up to view “miracle,” and….    How’s that?  Oh.  Sorry. Never mind.
  • Necrophilia, meet bestiality.  Twenty-year-old Bryan James Hathaway of Superior, Wisconsin elevates eccentricity to new heights.  Engages in intimacy, police say, with a “road-kill deer.”  But wait, now it gets weird:  Attorney argues that Bryan can’t be charged with bestiality because a deer that is deceased is actually no longer an animal.  Oh. That clears it up.  If upheld, dammit – no dead deer will be safe.
  • You think cell-phone crackdowns are tough? Forget it.  Scottish motorist fined for blowing his nose while stopped, for godssake, in clogged, standstill traffic.  39-year-old Michael Mancini of Prestwick, Scotland says he’d even set his parking brake before honking schnozz.  No matter. Ticketed by constable because he was “not in control of his vehicle.”   Mancini, refusing to pay 97-dollar fine, sniffs, “see you in court.” 
  • "Hate Man," former New York Times reporter, now colorful oddball on streets of Berkley:  Known as Mark Hawthorne when he worked for Times through the 60’s, dropped out, now tells everybody “I hate you” before beginning a conversation; wears cast-off women’s clothes and eats garbage.  Given state of company’s finances, many more Times reporters expected to be joining Hawthorne in near future.
