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.

July 6: The Queen's Hard Times; Obama's Suits; and Peace Out, Larry

DateTuesday, July 6, 2010
  • needs helpRoyal Rejection. Queen Elizabeth applies for, and is refused, raise. Will have to manage “household expenses” on last year’s budgeted amount -- $12-million. British Finance Minister says her royal tight-fistedness has agreed to a one-year freeze. Queen’s net worth – 2009 estimate –  $450-million.  Telethon, unnecessary.
  • Showbiz news:  All those in favor say "aye."  With recent announcement by Larry King that he’d like to end “Larry King Live” program, sentiment regarding show among America’s 309,620,000 citizens is now unanimous.    
  • Welcome aboard.  If you’re ticket destination reads something other than "hell," please deplane now. Nightmare Newark-bound Virgin Atlantic flight, scheduled to leave London at 5:33 p.m., arrives Newark15 hours later…by bus…from alternate airport, Bradley Field, Connecticut. Did we mention that aircraft’s generators weren’t working?  They weren’t.  No A/C.  Cabin temperatures hit a hundred. 300 passengers and 14 crew now being served as hors d’oeuvres at Newark Liberty International Airport restaurant.
  • Obama "Summer Recovery Act Tour" Blows By Maywood, California. Where the city has begun its own “recovery” by laying off all city employees, disbanding all services. Municipal treasurer Lizeth Sandoval blames Maywood city council saying, “You guys had the power to change things and you didn’t.”  Likely Sandoval’s last official pronouncement. She’s being laid off. 
  • “President’s suits, outsourced?”  Overseas firm that controls men’s apparel maker HMX – whose labels include Hart Schaffner Marx and Hickey Freeman famously favored by the president…slashing costs and aggressively moving production overseas. HMX’s Des Plaines, Illinois plant – right in Mr. Obama’s backyard – believed to be on the chopping block. Another 1,000 jobs lost and worse – “The emperor has no clothes.”
  • “I Left My Austerity Narrative…in San Francisco.” Former California Governor Jerry Brown, on the campaign trail, fondly reminds voters of frugality that the candidate says guides his life and politics. Now trying to “square the circle” with his latest home; custom-designed, Zen-inspired, five-level, $1.8-million dollar “architectural gem” perched high in the hills of one of San Francisco’s most prestigious neighborhoods with “breathtaking views of the bay.”  Will have to adjust criticism of opponent, eBay gazillionaire, Meg Whitman. 
  • keep it closedWhile we were away: “Pain in the Ass Calls Merchant Smartass.” Washington’s compassion for small business on display: Vice President Biden – again – on campaign trip with Senator Russ Feingold. The two stop in at Kopp’s Frozen Custard in Milwaukee to get a cone. Manager says, “It’s on us,” then adds, smiling broadly, “lower our taxes we’ll call it even.”  Veep replies, “Why don’t you say something nice instead of being a smartass.”  Takes one to know one? 
  • That ain’t no ‘Baby Ruth’ bar…unfortunately. Miami, Florida officials fail to notify beach-goers, swimmers, of 20-million-gallon raw sewage spill.  Posted a few “unobtrusive signs” regarding hazard…but neglected to verbally warn people entering Oleta State Park for fun day at the beach.  Now that 72-inch pipe that ruptured has been repaired, good news is that officials say the sewage may never have actually reached beach.  Bad news…that word, “may.”
