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.

August 16: Obama's Wild Ride; What Happens to Bad Teachers in India; and A Car Powered by What?

DateMonday, August 16, 2010
  • Obama Underlines His Concerns about Economy. Uses presidential helicopter for six-mile trip to northwest Washington to make economic speech.  Hourly cost of Marine One chopper?  $9,990.  Cost of premium gasoline for s 20-minute trip by presidential limo?  About 20 bucks.  Being president?  Priceless.  Spokesman Bill Burton on why Marine One instead of presidential limo: “Because it was easier.”   Your Federal Tax Dollars At Work.
  • Recovery Summer:  Wyoming May Sell Chunk of Grand Teton National Park. “Desperate” Governor Dave Freudenthal says unless Obama administration comes up with education money for the beleaguered state, he’ll have to auction land in Grand Teton, one of the nation’s most stunning wildernesses.  As Dave puts it, “If the federal government won’t dance with us, we’ll look for another partner. This ain’t our first county fair.”  The governor, eloquently demonstrating Wyoming’s need for better book learnin’.
  • Huge Ice Island Breaks From Greenland Glacier Global warming theorists search for words to describe dismay. Global warming skeptics search for giant olive, volcano-sized martini glass.  Developing…
  • Seattle Continues at Forefront of Drug Fight. City adds “crack kits” to long-time needle exchange program.  In addition to syringes for heroin addicts, Seattle begins handing out crack pipes, pipe filters and ascorbic acid for injecting crack.  Officials estimate program supplies zombies with 2-million needles per year….and now 10 crack pipes per day.  “Are you holdin’?”  “No, but Mayor McGinn is,” apparently…
  • Thiruvananthapuram, India: T.J. Joseph, a 52-year-old teacher at a private, Christian-run college, will have to negotiate his remaining years with slight physical impediment.  Had his right hand chopped off by gang of eight men after he posed an exam question interpreted as a slight to the prophet Mohammed.  Precise nature of question not revealed by Newman College for, well, obvious reasons:  School’s administrators opt to remain…“intact.”
  • Ultimate Energy Answer Announced in U.K.  British engineers convert VW into “Bio-Bug”…a car that is powered by methane gas derived from human waste. Swear that drivers are absolutely unable to tell the difference.  Biogas from sewage of just 70 homes can power conventional VW Beetle 10,000 miles at speeds of up to 114 miles an hour…140 if habanero peppers got involved somehow.
  • “Neighborhood Watch” program becomes “Neighborhood Lost and Found.”  Denise and Jeffrey Lagrimas, hosting a Neighborhood Watch meeting in their Oroville, California home to discuss concerns about local crime, arrested during the meeting after an attendee spotted her recently stolen TV in Largrimas’ house and also realized Denise was wearing attendee’s stolen dress.  That’s the bad news.  Now the good news:  Police were already on hand to give the “watch” program folks an award.  Gave them nice, shiny, locking “bracelets” –  instead.  “You have the right to remain stupid….”
