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.

Chris Wallace Loves the I-Man, But He Loves Someone Else More

Chris Wallace prepared for this morning’s interview with Imus as he does every Thursday, by watching a bit of the program to gauge what exactly he’ll be up against.

“I’ve watched the last ten minutes of this show with horror,” said Wallace, host of Fox News Sunday. “You’re in a horrible mood and you’re bringing everybody down.”

Imus protested that it was, um, Charles, or Bernard, or Lou who placed him in said bad mood because they beat on him. Luckily, Wallace had a plan to turn things around by engaging Imus in a discussion about the normally benign topic of American Idol. But as with most conversations between these two, it quickly turned ugly.

“The girls are better than the guys this year,” Wallace said.

No, Imus demurred, they’re not; well, maybe the first girl was okay, he allowed, but she’s missing some teeth.

“Not to mention the piercing in the lip,” said Wallace, who watched the program with his daughter last night and told her, “If you ever do that, don’t come home.”

“What do you care what your daughter does?” Imus asked, at which point Wallace, Charles, Bernard, and scores of listeners excoriated him for such a callous remark.

Asked how he would feel if Wyatt walked through the door with a nose ring, Imus said, “There wouldn’t be too much I could do about it.” Yeah, right.

This coming Sunday, Wallace will interview former Massachusetts Governor and 2008 Presidential Candidate Mitt Romney, whom he called the frontrunner for the 2012 Republican nomination.

“He walks into a room, and he just kind of takes the oxygen out,” Wallace pined. “He’s an extraordinarily good-looking man, and he’s a very charismatic guy, and you think, wow, this guy’s really something.”

Sounding more like someone about to rent a motel room by the hour than an accomplished journalist, Wallace added that despite his magnetism, Romney had a difficult time connecting with voters two years ago.

“It will be interesting to see whether, because time has passed and he has maintained these views and this persona, people are going to trust him in a way I’m not sure they quite did in 2008,” said Wallace. 

And for the record, (or because Imus pressed him), Wallace confessed to a bit of a “bro-mance” between him and Romney. Gross.

Many years ago,Mike Wallace came to our small border town in Canada to do a show on smuggling for 60 minutes...I felt like God had arrived.
Flash forward to last year and Chris Wallace is holding up a book on how to get your affairs in order before you die
and the Fair not Balanced man calls it a "Death Book"
Forget about Chris throwing his daughter out if she came home with a nose ring....His dad should have kicked his butt a little more
to the LEFT
thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
