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.

Live From the Greenroom

DateTuesday, February 16, 2010

Although we arrive at the Fox Studios in the middle of another effing snowstorm, our spirits and bodies are rejuvenated by the day off, knowing full well that, three minutes into the program, we will all be contemplating the legal and moral ramifications of murder/suicide. 

I chose to observe the President's Day holiday by spending five bucks on a frozen cherry pie, just so Abraham Lincoln and George Washington would both be represented.  The I-Man spent his day off sending threatening E-Mails to me and Tony, just so we wouldn't 'Miss Him'.  Thankfully, we didn't.   The Emails helped with that.

Dagen McDowell stopped by while Bo Dietl was in studio, still giddy over the Daytona 500.  Apparently, her trailer is fitted with a satellite dish so she was getting the live feed from the track, allowing her to watch the entire two and a half hour pothole repair.  This girl really knows how to party. 

The 'Favorite Five Songs' contest winner will be joining us in the studio this morning, a gentleman by the name of Jim Monroe who hails from Kentucky.  He won a small cash prize plus the opportunity to stand in a corner and watch 'the magic' of the Imus in the Morning broadcast taking place live, and in person.  The second prize winner received NO money, but gets to watch the program every day for the next month.  I am told the third place winner will receive a staff position.  Jim owns a frame company and a Godfather's Pizza franchise.  So it's almost a sure thing that Don Corleone will want to wet his beak in those proceeds, not to mention a 75% commission on the cash prize.  You know, for protection. After all, New York can be a dangerous place for a Kentuckian.  Jim's list includes 'In My Life' by the Beatles, 'When I Paint My Masterpiece' by The Band, and 'Bohemian Rhapsody', but not the classic rendition by Freddie Mercury, but the version recorded by Hank Williams Jr..  Jim obviously has better taste in music than he does morning radio programs.  

In studio, Imus spends a good thirty five minutes chastising our dear, sweet production assistant, Carley, for placing his cowboy hat brim down. In between her sobs of contrition, he maintains it destroys the integrity of the hat. I think it's an awful lot of time and effort to spend over a stupid hat, but I actually prefer it brim up as it makes it much easier to pee in.

The folks from Sunrise Detox have come to present Jim with his giant 2500 dollar check.  I wonder if they've also brought a giant Bic Pen for him to endorse it.  I also wonder if they have a program for curing me of my cherry pie addiction.
