Speaker 1: Who is this?
Speaker 2: This is Nancy.
Speaker 1: Nancy with who in the background.
Speaker 2: That would be Brenna.
Speaker 1: Brenda Is daughter.
Speaker 2: Friend is my daughter. She's seven months old and she's
Speaker 2: right now just loving this phone and want to talk
Speaker 2: to you.
Speaker 1: Of course she does. Everybody wants to be on the
Speaker 1: Delilah Show.
Speaker 2: Absolutely. How are you tonight, Delaia wonderful?
Speaker 1: What can I do for you?
Speaker 2: Well, she just turns seven months old and I've been
Speaker 2: listening to your show on and off for many years,
Speaker 2: but I really started listening to it when I became
Speaker 2: pregnant with her, and lots of nice drives home, drive
Speaker 2: home from work, you know, with the lyylan and thinking
Speaker 2: about her and thinking about the stories, and I thought, well,
Speaker 2: wouldn't that be fun to play a song for her?
Speaker 2: This is a late pregnancy, and it was, and it
Speaker 2: was a little bit of a rough road, but because
Speaker 2: of the immense support, I mean, my doctor's office, they
Speaker 2: became my family and they were amazing. And then my
Speaker 2: family has been outstanding. I just I couldn't even tell you.
Speaker 2: And then, you know, I imagined, I imagine, I imagine what
Speaker 2: it would be and how it was going to be.
Speaker 2: And it's just you didn't know until I held her,
Speaker 2: until I fell her next to me, and can't you
Speaker 2: just don't know.
Speaker 3: There's no words to describe, there's no way to explain it.
Speaker 3: That you can read books and talk to people and
Speaker 3: talk to your own mother, and then when it finally
Speaker 3: happens and you either adopt or give birth to a child,
Speaker 3: and you hold that child and look in their eyes
Speaker 3: and feel that instant bond, that connection, that goes deeper
Speaker 3: than love, deeper than life.
Speaker 2: It does, and then you're.
Speaker 1: Like, oh, it was just an amazing moment. Hello, good evening.
Speaker 1: You've called the Delilah Show. Who is this?
Speaker 4: Oh my god, this is actually Julilah?
Speaker 1: I am. Who are you?
Speaker 5: Like?
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, I'm Christian. I'm a first time caller,
Speaker 4: a long time listener. I've been listening to you since
Speaker 4: I was five.
Speaker 1: Well, welcome aboard, Christian, thank you for calling. How old
Speaker 1: are you?
Speaker 4: I'm twenty years old.
Speaker 1: So are you in college? Are you in the workforce?
Speaker 1: What are you doing?
Speaker 4: I'm in college and the workforce.
Speaker 1: You're doing both, so you're you're burning the candle at
Speaker 1: both ends, yes, ma'am. Well, I'm glad I get to
Speaker 1: be a part of that routine. What can I do
Speaker 1: for you tonight?
Speaker 4: Well, it's a long story.
Speaker 5: I got my heart broken about a year ago and
Speaker 5: it was the love of my life, and to this day,
Speaker 5: I still love her, even though I don't talk to
Speaker 5: her and I miss her deeply and I would want
Speaker 5: to call her and I have her phone number, but
Speaker 5: I tell myself not to you, and it's just it's
Speaker 5: hard to move on, like you date other peace. People
Speaker 5: say to other just it just every time I just
Speaker 5: want to get back in a relationship, I just think
Speaker 5: about her and how she made me feel, and if
Speaker 5: I ever feel that way again, you.
Speaker 1: Will never feel that way again. Let me just say that,
Speaker 1: because she was your first true love and you gave
Speaker 1: her a part of yourself that you cannot give to
Speaker 1: someone else. It's a once in a lifetime thing. So
Speaker 1: don't try to duplicate those feelings or don't think that
Speaker 1: you have to feel that way again. Okay, give yourself
Speaker 1: permission and just say, you know what, God, that was
Speaker 1: a gift. It was a once in a lifetime experience.
Speaker 1: But you will love again. You can love again, and
Speaker 1: you can love again entirely and completely, but it won't
Speaker 1: be the same. You can love again, and you will
Speaker 1: love again. You're young. You will love again, but don't
Speaker 1: think that it's going to be like your first true love,
Speaker 1: because it won't be.
Speaker 4: Thank you, Delilah, I very much appreciate it, and you
Speaker 4: don't even know how excited I am to have finally
Speaker 4: talked to you after fifteen years of comming.
Speaker 1: Well, I predict that the next time you make it through,
Speaker 1: you're gonna make it through telling me, Delilah, do you
Speaker 1: remember when we had that conversation and I didn't think
Speaker 1: I would ever love again? Guess what? And you are
Speaker 1: going to tell me about somebody that won your heart
Speaker 1: and adores you completely.
Speaker 4: Oh my God, thank you, Delilah. I love you so much.
Speaker 4: You're incredible and I listen to you every day and
Speaker 4: I'm gonna listen to you for the rest of my life.
Speaker 1: God bless you. Bye bye, honey. Let's start over here, Anna.
Speaker 1: So I've been talking to your daughter who's going through
Speaker 1: a breakup, but I got to hear from you. Is
Speaker 1: this guy a good guy? Is he worthy of your
Speaker 1: daughter's life? Or is he a slacker?
Speaker 6: No, he's a slacker.
Speaker 7: He's not worthy of her loves. She doesn't serve him.
Speaker 7: She has a chance to be in a relationship that
Speaker 7: someone has a head on the shoulder. This guy is
Speaker 7: he knows where he's.
Speaker 5: Going in his life.
Speaker 1: So you're hoping that she gets over this creepy axe
Speaker 1: and gives the new guy a chance.
Speaker 7: She's give him a chance. That's all that we ask
Speaker 7: is that you know, give the guy a chance. And
Speaker 7: I think that she's at a limbo right now. Like
Speaker 7: she's kind of put in her life on hold, and
Speaker 7: it upsets me because you know it's he's not worth it.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, no, no, no, no, we're not going to
Speaker 1: let that happen.
Speaker 7: Ma, I don't want that.
Speaker 1: You and I are not going to let that happen.
Speaker 7: She's gonna stand still at this moment, and she wants
Speaker 7: this new guy. I think she's just just more afraid
Speaker 7: of getting her time around. D Lailah.
Speaker 6: I want to tell you something. I honestly think that
Speaker 6: talking to you was a blessing in disguise and that
Speaker 6: this was a really, really good night for me.
Speaker 1: I gotta tell yeah, if you're going to be with somebody,
Speaker 1: you have to beat with somebody who is as crazy
Speaker 1: about you as you are them.
Speaker 6: It's really true. And I hopefully I'll find that, and
Speaker 6: I know I will. And from this moment on, Delilah,
Speaker 6: I'm going to take your advice and I will call
Speaker 6: you maybe six months from now, and something magical might happen,
Speaker 6: and you will definitely be the first person that I
Speaker 6: would think of if anything magical happens between this guy
Speaker 6: and I.
Speaker 1: All right, well, I know something magical is going to happen,
Speaker 1: and I don't even think it's going to take six months.
Speaker 6: Oh thank you, Delilah.
Speaker 1: And give your mam a hug for me, because boy,
Speaker 1: does she love you. Steve wrote to me and says,
Speaker 1: I saw an elderly couple in my medical office. Both
Speaker 1: were about eighty, and the husband was becoming frail, showing
Speaker 1: his age. My medical assistant walked him down the hall
Speaker 1: to get his way. His wife and I watched him
Speaker 1: slowly shuffle down the hall, relying heavily on his cane.
Speaker 1: She looked at him admiringly. I saw an elderly, weakened man,
Speaker 1: as if reading my mind, she commented, most people when
Speaker 1: they see my husband see an old man. I still
Speaker 1: see that young, eighteen year old man I fell in
Speaker 1: love with. I love that man. Thank God that love
Speaker 1: is enduring and sometimes designed to last forever. Steve, thank
Speaker 1: you for writing your sentiments and to everybody who is
Speaker 1: still in love with that eighteen year old kid despite
Speaker 1: what life and time and age has done. My hat
Speaker 1: is off to you. I so hope you have enjoyed
Speaker 1: these radio moments as much as I enjoy bringing them
Speaker 1: to you. I'll share more with you each weekday on
Speaker 1: Hey it's delilah
