My wife and I just had our 30th anniversary, when were dating 1988-1989, I told her to listen to this guy on the radio named Rush Limbaugh, we were both Conservative and I thought she would enjoy his show.
So she started to listen, it just so happens that Rush was asking women to send pictures of themselves into the show before they would be allowed to get thru if they called.
She came home one day, demanding to know why I would want her to listen to a pig like Rush Limbaugh.....I had to explain that she needed to give it two weeks and she would love him...
Long story short, she became a huge fan and 24/7 subscriber.
My husband came home one afternoon during his lunch hour to find me up on a ladder in my kitchen sanding our kitchen cabinets, with the radio turned up rather loud.
He wondered who in the world “that guy” on the radio was.
I told him he ought to tune in to listen to ”that guy” in his car radio on his way back to the office.
I’m sure he didn’t then, but I continued listening to “that guy” and shortly thereafter, told my husband Rush was coming to our fair city for a “Rush to Excellent Tour” and I had tickets. I asked if he would like to go with me. Being a smart guy himself, said he would go, if that’s what I wanted to do.
Later the same year, a local restaurant began offering lunch once a week in a room set aside for patrons, calling it a “Rush Room.” I asked my husband if he’d like to have lunch with me, as I planned on going. Again, he said he’d go as some of his friends also told him they were going to have lunch with others while listening to Rush.
I’ve been a devotee of Rush ever since and pray for his recovery ever since hearing of his cancer diagnosis.
May God continue to bless Rush and may he look back on this time in the future, as he continues encourage others who are going through the same as a cancer survivor, as he has done now.
