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.

From the Green Room: Justin Bieber is the Anti-Christ

The BiebNot every pre-pubescent teen who makes some YouTube videos becomes an international pop sensation. But that, by the grace of God and Usher, is exactly what happened with Justin Bieber.

Other than his Bang-Laden, Beatle-Style, Bowl Haircut, there isn’t much to distinguish the young lad from every other Teen Pop sensation that’s come down the pike, from Paul Anka and Ricky Nelson to Bobby Sherman and Donny Osmond. Except that Justin Bieber, unlike Paul Anka and Ricky Nelson, sort of sucks, in a Bobby Sherman, Donny Osmond kind of way.  His fans, however, are, to say the least, more of the rabid variety than even those smitten teens who were moved to snip a lock of Ringo’s hair during The Beatles’ first US tour.

Some of them camped outside Rockefeller Center FOR THREE DAYS just to get a choice location at Justin’s outdoor concert on the Today Show. (It’s probably safe to assume they were there for Bieber, and not to catch a glimpse of Al Roker). Then there are the fans who sent death threats to Kim Kardashian after a photo of she and “The Bieb” was published and Justin jokingly tweeted, “Look, it’s my girlfriend.”  There is, of course, no evidence to suggest that one of those people was rapper/singer Ray J, who starred alongside Ms. Kardashian in her infamous sex tape. But the idea of Mr. “J” and the Biebs engaging in a Greco-Roman style bout over a Kardashian has Pay-Per-View event written all over it.

Then there was the 16 year old New Zealand girl who got the chance to visit Bieber backstage, and snatched a bottle of sparkling water he had drank from and fetched $624 dollars for it on an EBay-like site.  Do you think 624 bucks is a lot to pay for a half-full bottle of mineral water? There’s Bieber DNA floating in that puppy, pal. And if you just freeze that container until modern science finally perfects the cloning process, you’ll be in high cotton.

Just as every celebrity has their supporters, Justin also has a myriad of haters, those who have dedicated their lives to ruining his. So much so that some have created lurid “Hot Searches” on “Google Trends” that are, to say the least, not terribly flattering. Those searches include: “Justin Bieber Takes Estrogen,”  “Justin Bieber Syphillis,” “Justin Bieber Removes Testicle,” and  “Justin Bieber Impregnated His Mother.” It’s only a matter of Not Goodtime until Google Trends shows up with a Hot Search resembling a “Paul is Dead” type of conspiracy rumor, where hidden messages can be discovered by playing Bieber songs backwards to suggest that the Pop Tart has mysteriously been killed in a tragic blow-dryer accident.

The only problem is that Justin Bieber’s songs, whether played backwards or forwards, sound pretty much the same.  In that Bobby Sherman, Donny Osmond kind of way.
