On December 2, 1986 at 12:05am, Desi Arnaz dies in his daughter's arms following a battle against an aggressive form of lung cancer he had since March

Chemo & radiation treatments left him near bald & weighing less than 100lbs

His last words were over the phone to Lucy. He said, I love you #Desilu
August always gets done so dirty 😭
You move to Port Charles for a new life & the man you meet is the character on your birth month, He ask you out on a date first He takes u to the PC grill for a delicious dinner, then the Savoy for drinks, & finally the metro court for a night of passionπŸ˜‰ are you accepting or rejecting ? #GH
Post a random picture or everything will go bad in August

My anxiety won't ever let me skip these πŸ˜’ look at my babies though πŸ₯°

I’m having a moment… #Sona #GH
"Betty Grable is jubilant as she pinch hits for absentee Lucille Ball in the rhumba with Desi Arnaz." β€”Gossip column 1940

Desi/Betty dated each other first. Betty was also friends with Lucy.

Allegedly, after this column came out, Lucy went to Desi's, pushed past his Mom & bawled him out #Desilu πŸ”₯
The refusal to put them together is ridiculous at this point
I love Sonny but even I just rolled my eyes πŸ™„
We had been married for 9 yrs but when I saw her coming down the aisle with her bouquet & wedding dress & hat, I got as much of a thrill as the first time, perhaps even more. The church & all made it seem so much more real. Lucy looked lovely, with those big blue eyes looking straight at me #Desilu
We've always thought the interest of the kids was number one. What we wanted was secondary to what was best for the children. They love their mother very much & they're also very fond of me. Of course I'm crazy about them. I know that nothing in life comes before my kids. #desilu
Desi quickly became a phenomenon billed as King Conga. He drew the cream of NY Society, women he'd never met passed him mash notes with keys to their apts. Walter Winchell was a fan/regular patron. Dorothy Kilgallen described Desi as black eyed, slim hipped rhythm conscious Latin. #Desilu
"A Book (Expanded Edition)" By Desi Arnaz, a re-release of Desi's autobiography will release 2/24/26 and features never before seen photos, additional chapter from his unfinished manuscript for a sequel which encompasses his life after Lucy and ends w/an epilogue by daughter Lucie Arnaz πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯ #Desilu
I tried to get home as early as I could every evening from the studio just to be able to hold my little girl in my lap in a rocking chair I had in the nursery. I would hold little Lucie on my chest, with her cheek next to mine and rock her back and forth. β€”Desi Arnaz #Desilu #DesiluToo
"We were there for him, proudest moment of my life when he stood up and said, 'My name is Desi, and I'm an alcoholic.' I cried my eyes out I was so proud of him. ... And then, minutes after he got home from that he got sick." The doctors diagnosed lung cancerβ€”Lucie Arnaz #desilu
My name is Desi and I'm an alcoholic.

Tools to maintain sobrietyβ€” Reading the Big Book, Going to meetings

Relapse stressorsβ€” Mother's health, My health

I pledge to stop being such a loner, to try to socialize more, go back to work, stop feeling sorry for myself. Im trying to change my way of life
I just wanted to be sure that I earned the harassment charge πŸ˜‚
Once it was, 'Your life is my lifeβ€”anything you want to do is what I want to do.' Now it is, 'I have my own life to live.' You were either wrong then or you are wrong now. Whichever it is, it is more than I can take.β€” Cont Letter from Desi to 2nd wife Edie. They were separated at the time #DesiArnaz
Im 56yrs old & trying to do something I never thought Id have to doβ€”make a comeback. God knows, Im trying hard. Whether I should keep trying or give up & adjust to a new lifeβ€”whether I should stay with you or not, are things that I dont knowβ€”Desi Arnaz in a letter to 2nd wife Edie #DesiArnaz #Desilu
I'm sharing moments from the new Desi Arnaz biography, "Desi Arnaz The Man Who Invented Television" by Todd S Purdum, that altered my brain chemistry. Some are #Desilu centric. Most just Desi.

I know I'm really talking to myself with these but I need an outlet.
LMAO send me some of that too cause I've watched this like six times in a row already. This is a self inflicted attack 😭
I have your expedited order of longing and sadness ready for you. πŸ˜€ #sona

Literally all crying together 😭😭😭😭😭😭
Me and my family are safe thankfully. It came really close though, like just a couple miles north. The community has been great and rallied though. Just a crazy, scary night.
