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: No Celebs to Rehab?

DateTuesday, June 1, 2010

"Dr." DrewIt’s Tuesday, and Dr. Drew has the day off.  His “Celebrity Rehab” was supposed to begin shooting its new season today, but is being put on hold indefinitely because, get this, THEY COULDN’T  FIND A BIG HOLLYWOOD STAR WITH A SUBSTANCE ABUSE PROBLEM. Which must mean one of a few possible things: the Baldwin Brothers are out of the country shooting a movie; Corey Feldman is still in mourning for Corey Haim; or Tom Sizemore is busy making another sex tape. What has happened to Hollywood? No A-Listers around who have recently hit bottom?  There are no celebrities left to rehab?  You might as well tell me that there’s no Santa Claus. 

Here’s how bad it is:  Even Lindsay Lohan is keeping clean and sober. 

this girl is sober?It seems that America's favorite train wreck has taken the pledge.   Apparently, she's been court ordered to wear an alcohol detecting anklet, and so she's been seen willing Red Bull rather than the Cosmos and shots of Jack that that have previously been her beverages of choice. She’s on an eight-can-a-day regimen, augmenting the liquid dynamite by pounding Coca Cola and chain smoking cigarettes.  Yes, the Ultimate Party Girl has substituted caffeine and nicotine for her drug and alcohol Jones.  Good for her, bad for Dr. Drew.

She’s recently been spotted slamming Kombucha tea, a particularly nasty Chinese concoction that supposedly has health benefits, among them, “restoring balance to the body.”  A rather lofty claim, until you consider that it is also fermented, albeit only with trace amounts of alcohol.  Seems she hasn’t COMPLETELY gone all Bill Wilson on us, but it’s got to be a little difficult to be taken seriously in a group therapy session with crack addicts while admitting that you’re coming off a bender after drinking something with less than 0.5% alcohol.  That’s not even 1% proof.  And for a girl who could down a quart of Bushmill’s before breakfast, that’s almost like tap water.

So desperate were they for a High Profile Person Who Gets High, the producers of “Celebrity Rehab” reportedly offered Ms. Lohan a million dollars and her own show, but she turned them down, and so they how did we, as a society, allow this person to become famous?were left with only Tila Tequila and an F-list actor from some reality show that used to be on MTV.  Not nearly enough star power to float another rubbernecking season of on-camera, soul-bearing breakdowns. We’ve pretty much seen about as much of Tila Tequila as one can without the aid of a speculum, so there won’t be much interest in watching her earn yet another coin.

At some point Lindsay is going to find out that, to paraphrase Rick James, “caffeine is a helluva drug.” After three weeks of not sleeping from the Red Bull buzz, she’ll eventually crash. And if my mother quitting coffee is any indication of how difficult a transition that is going to be…

Dr. Drew better prepare a room.
