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.

April 30: Pond Scum, Nancy Pelosi, and Torpedoes

  • NASA stunner!  Mars probes, “Opportunity” and “Spirit,” find compelling evidence that life is – or has been – on Red Planet…in a form similar to ingredients found in  “pond scum,” the building blocks of life, congress, and Goldman Sachs, as we know it.
  • Beijing’s Stealth Assault on America Continuing. Product Safety Commission issues recall of Graco-brand drop-side cribs because of “entrapment and suffocation” hazard.  You now are permitted one guess regarding country of manufacture.   Any guess other than “China” will be subject to immediate disqualification.  “Remain vigilant.”
  • Please leave your guns with the nearest deacon. Thank you. Funeral for teen-aged gunshot victim at Oakland, California’s Cosmopolitan Baptist church degenerates into brawl.  Police find roughly 300 people outside sanctuary, beating the hell out of each other, after somebody pulled a gun inside.  Incident marked second time in less than three months that gunfire has erupted at an Oakland church, giving new context to “Baptism by fire.”
  • House Speaker Pelosi Unrecognizable on Cover of D.C. Magazine!   “Capitol File” cover, featuring what purports to be a photograph of Nancy Pelosi, sets off firestorm of speculation:  Is photo from Ms. Pelosi’s high school yearbook?  Was Speaker victim of multiple airbrush drive by?  Pelosi spokesperson insists photo was not airbrushed…leaving “chemical peel” by something akin to Eyjafjallajokull volcano as only other possible explanation.
  • Is that a torpedo in your pocket or are you just glad to see me?  U.S. Navy lifting its ban on women serving aboard submarines…duty restricted to males to this point.  First women to be assigned will go through intensive 15-month program including nuclear power school, submarine ops training, Submarine Officer Basic course, and intensive Human Resources phone number memorization for “instant recall” applications.
  • Holy Man Claims to Have Lived Without Food, Water for 70 Years.  Team of 30 medical specialists studying 83-year-old yogi trying to determine what energy supports his existence.  Prahlad Jani says his “energy needs” are met solely through meditating.  Doctors next hope to study an American radio/TV icon who has survived for over a year on a diet almost as strict…apparently meeting “energy needs” solely through bitching.
  • Secretary of your Treasury, Barack Obama:  President, on the stump for his Wall Street reform program, informs Illinois audience:  “I do think at a certain point you’ve made enough money.”  No specification of where he feels cut-off point should be…yet
  • National Institute of Health says there is zero evidence nutritional supplement program, solving “brain teasers,” or anything else for that matter, prevents, retards, or has any other salutary effect on Alzheimer’s.  So forget it.
