<v Speaker 2>My Valentine. Are my four children, my four little ones

0:00:50.200 --> 0:00:53.720
<v Speaker 2>that I do everything for. I am seven years ago,

0:00:54.080 --> 0:00:56.440
<v Speaker 2>you know, separated from my husband, been divorced now for

0:00:56.480 --> 0:01:00.520
<v Speaker 2>four years. And the only thing I wanted really just

0:01:00.600 --> 0:01:03.040
<v Speaker 2>to be a wife, just to be married, and that

0:01:03.240 --> 0:01:06.240
<v Speaker 2>really hasn't happened, and I don't see it happening anytime

0:01:06.280 --> 0:01:09.200
<v Speaker 2>in the near future. And so the past couple of

0:01:09.200 --> 0:01:12.000
<v Speaker 2>weeks it's really been laid upon my heart that you know,

0:01:12.200 --> 0:01:15.480
<v Speaker 2>I think I'm just gonna embrace being a mom and

0:01:15.520 --> 0:01:18.200
<v Speaker 2>embrace you know, making a go at it by myself

0:01:18.280 --> 0:01:21.839
<v Speaker 2>and enjoy having these children that I have and enjoy

0:01:22.000 --> 0:01:24.440
<v Speaker 2>raising them. I wanted to tell you too. I pull

0:01:24.480 --> 0:01:26.400
<v Speaker 2>a lot of strength from you, kind of your journey

0:01:26.440 --> 0:01:29.680
<v Speaker 2>through love and just becoming a strong woman and just

0:01:29.760 --> 0:01:32.360
<v Speaker 2>you know, showing your kids that showing them how important

0:01:32.400 --> 0:01:32.679
<v Speaker 2>that is.

0:01:33.319 --> 0:01:36.560
<v Speaker 1>I can remember, like it was yesterday. I was driving

0:01:36.640 --> 0:01:38.720
<v Speaker 1>home one night after I had been on the air

0:01:38.800 --> 0:01:42.440
<v Speaker 1>and taking call after call after call after call from

0:01:42.480 --> 0:01:45.160
<v Speaker 1>people who were so in love and so happy and

0:01:45.200 --> 0:01:48.080
<v Speaker 1>so in love, and I was just like, ahh k,

0:01:48.400 --> 0:01:51.840
<v Speaker 1>I hear one worse stupid and happy person, I'm gonna

0:01:51.960 --> 0:01:54.440
<v Speaker 1>just throw up. But of course on the air, I

0:01:54.440 --> 0:01:56.080
<v Speaker 1>had to be so nice. And I was in the

0:01:56.120 --> 0:01:58.720
<v Speaker 1>car and I was driving home and I just started

0:01:58.720 --> 0:02:00.320
<v Speaker 1>crying and I cried out to God and I said,

0:02:00.320 --> 0:02:03.760
<v Speaker 1>I don't understand it. I don't understand. And he said,

0:02:03.760 --> 0:02:06.320
<v Speaker 1>wait a minute, Wait a minute, wait a minute. Let's

0:02:06.400 --> 0:02:09.119
<v Speaker 1>just think about that child and sleep in the backseat

0:02:09.160 --> 0:02:14.200
<v Speaker 1>of your car that you love more than life. Let's

0:02:14.240 --> 0:02:16.480
<v Speaker 1>just stop for a minute and think about the blessing

0:02:16.680 --> 0:02:20.520
<v Speaker 1>I have given you instead of complaining about what I

0:02:20.600 --> 0:02:21.840
<v Speaker 1>have not given you.

0:02:22.560 --> 0:02:25.200
<v Speaker 2>Exactly, Nack. He was focused on being a mom, and

0:02:25.880 --> 0:02:27.480
<v Speaker 2>you know, put on my effort and energy into that.

0:02:27.880 --> 0:02:30.320
<v Speaker 2>And I think that I'm really blessed to be able

0:02:30.320 --> 0:02:32.480
<v Speaker 2>to do that. Thank you so much.

0:02:32.280 --> 0:02:41.480
<v Speaker 1>Thanks for listening. Anie, Hi, Patricia, thank you for calling

0:02:41.520 --> 0:02:42.480
<v Speaker 1>the Delilah Show.

0:02:43.639 --> 0:02:44.520
<v Speaker 3>I Love Love.

0:02:45.320 --> 0:02:48.240
<v Speaker 1>I heard you had a great story to share with us.

0:02:48.960 --> 0:02:51.960
<v Speaker 4>Well, it was Christmas Eve and we were on the

0:02:52.040 --> 0:02:55.360
<v Speaker 4>way to my aunt Debbie's house for Christmas with my family,

0:02:55.560 --> 0:02:57.679
<v Speaker 4>and we needed to stop at Kroger for a couple

0:02:57.720 --> 0:03:03.240
<v Speaker 4>of things. And my boyfriend said, go away, because I

0:03:03.280 --> 0:03:05.919
<v Speaker 4>need to buy you a couple of things for Christmas.

0:03:06.080 --> 0:03:08.480
<v Speaker 4>And I said, okay, you obviously don't want me to

0:03:08.480 --> 0:03:10.799
<v Speaker 4>see what you're getting. I'm going to walk away, and

0:03:10.840 --> 0:03:13.840
<v Speaker 4>he stayed towards the front of the store. Well, I

0:03:13.919 --> 0:03:16.680
<v Speaker 4>walked over towards the bakery, and I was looking at

0:03:16.720 --> 0:03:19.960
<v Speaker 4>pies and whatnot to take to the party, and I

0:03:20.040 --> 0:03:22.919
<v Speaker 4>heard over the intercom the manager, you know how they

0:03:22.960 --> 0:03:27.240
<v Speaker 4>come on the intercom and attention Kroger shoppers, blah blah blah.

0:03:27.320 --> 0:03:29.880
<v Speaker 4>Well I just kind of dismissed it until I heard

0:03:30.639 --> 0:03:36.320
<v Speaker 4>my boyfriend's voice say, Patricia, and then I was all

0:03:36.360 --> 0:03:42.280
<v Speaker 4>here and he said, will be beautiful redheaded woman in

0:03:42.440 --> 0:03:47.440
<v Speaker 4>the store, please pay attention. I want you to know

0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:52.160
<v Speaker 4>that I love you very much, and will you marry me?

0:03:53.520 --> 0:04:00.720
<v Speaker 4>Please meet me at register three. And I was accid,

0:04:01.320 --> 0:04:07.120
<v Speaker 4>completely utterly caught off guard. So I walk towards the

0:04:07.160 --> 0:04:09.800
<v Speaker 4>front of the store and I'm beat red. I know,

0:04:10.080 --> 0:04:12.680
<v Speaker 4>I can just feel it. And there was just a

0:04:12.920 --> 0:04:16.159
<v Speaker 4>crowd of people around, and of course I go up

0:04:16.200 --> 0:04:19.839
<v Speaker 4>to the front at register three and he's standing there

0:04:20.279 --> 0:04:26.120
<v Speaker 4>with a big bouquet of flowers and a ring. This

0:04:26.240 --> 0:04:29.960
<v Speaker 4>past Christmas Eve and we decided Valentine's Day would be

0:04:30.000 --> 0:04:31.040
<v Speaker 4>a great anniversary.

0:04:31.640 --> 0:04:45.840
<v Speaker 5>Happy Valentine's Day to you, Hi, Cathy.

0:04:46.040 --> 0:04:48.279
<v Speaker 6>Hi Delaida. It's such a pleasure to be able to

0:04:48.279 --> 0:04:49.359
<v Speaker 6>talk to you, tell.

0:04:49.200 --> 0:04:50.080
<v Speaker 1>Me your story.

0:04:50.880 --> 0:04:53.480
<v Speaker 6>I've sent some notes to my my daughter's lunch every

0:04:53.480 --> 0:04:55.320
<v Speaker 6>once in a while because she likes it when I'm

0:04:55.920 --> 0:04:59.839
<v Speaker 6>there so to say with her. And for Valentine's Day,

0:05:00.600 --> 0:05:02.440
<v Speaker 6>I wanted to do something special for it, to let

0:05:02.480 --> 0:05:05.040
<v Speaker 6>her know that she's loved, you know, And so I

0:05:05.520 --> 0:05:07.839
<v Speaker 6>I everything that I could make red. I made red,

0:05:07.839 --> 0:05:10.119
<v Speaker 6>I made apple sauce, red, I made the bread red,

0:05:10.200 --> 0:05:13.000
<v Speaker 6>and she had peanut butter and jelly sandwich. I cut

0:05:13.000 --> 0:05:15.559
<v Speaker 6>it in the shape of a heart and hugs and kisses.

0:05:15.600 --> 0:05:18.279
<v Speaker 6>Because we have cookie cutouts, and she had.

0:05:18.200 --> 0:05:20.039
<v Speaker 1>No, wait a second, backup, how old is your daughter?

0:05:20.400 --> 0:05:23.680
<v Speaker 6>Well, now she's she'll be twelve in a couple of weeks.

0:05:24.200 --> 0:05:26.960
<v Speaker 6>And at the time she was she was ten at

0:05:26.960 --> 0:05:30.159
<v Speaker 6>the time, okay, And she's a really good kid. And

0:05:30.200 --> 0:05:32.680
<v Speaker 6>she's a special kid because I never thought i'd be

0:05:32.680 --> 0:05:35.840
<v Speaker 6>able to have any children, and fortunately I was blessed

0:05:35.839 --> 0:05:38.360
<v Speaker 6>and I was able to have her. And she really

0:05:38.440 --> 0:05:41.400
<v Speaker 6>is such a special miracle to our lives. So I

0:05:41.480 --> 0:05:45.000
<v Speaker 6>always make her feel that way too. So for Valentine's Day,

0:05:45.080 --> 0:05:47.800
<v Speaker 6>she was real excited about, you know, the party at school,

0:05:47.800 --> 0:05:49.920
<v Speaker 6>and she said that she had had a good day.

0:05:50.000 --> 0:05:52.800
<v Speaker 6>She said, but when she opened up her lunch box,

0:05:52.839 --> 0:05:55.080
<v Speaker 6>I had stickers all inside her lunch box, you know,

0:05:55.160 --> 0:05:57.800
<v Speaker 6>the little heart stickers that had little things on them

0:05:57.800 --> 0:06:01.760
<v Speaker 6>and whatnot. And she opened up her lunch box and

0:06:01.800 --> 0:06:03.800
<v Speaker 6>she had her heart shaped sandwich, and she had her

0:06:03.839 --> 0:06:06.479
<v Speaker 6>heart shaped cookies, and then I were a little note

0:06:06.520 --> 0:06:08.880
<v Speaker 6>in there. Everything was in heart shapes and red. And

0:06:09.960 --> 0:06:12.560
<v Speaker 6>she came home and she said, Mom, she said, you're crazy.

0:06:13.760 --> 0:06:16.320
<v Speaker 6>She's a really neat kid. And it's a lot of

0:06:16.360 --> 0:06:18.760
<v Speaker 6>fun making her feel special, and because she makes us

0:06:18.760 --> 0:06:19.679
<v Speaker 6>feel really special.

0:06:26.960 --> 0:06:28.599
<v Speaker 1>Hi, Michelle, how are you tonight?

0:06:28.720 --> 0:06:29.440
<v Speaker 3>I'm just fine.

0:06:29.720 --> 0:06:31.000
<v Speaker 1>Tell me who's on your heart?

0:06:31.560 --> 0:06:32.080
<v Speaker 4>My mom?

0:06:32.680 --> 0:06:35.520
<v Speaker 1>Your mom? We're celebrating Valentine's Week and mom is on

0:06:35.560 --> 0:06:36.000
<v Speaker 1>your heart?

0:06:36.279 --> 0:06:39.599
<v Speaker 3>Yeah? Why the story that kind of I remember it

0:06:39.640 --> 0:06:41.320
<v Speaker 3>all the time, but it really comes to mind around

0:06:41.400 --> 0:06:44.360
<v Speaker 3>Valentine's Day. About Oh, it had to be about twenty

0:06:44.440 --> 0:06:47.120
<v Speaker 3>years ago. I was working in an office full of

0:06:47.160 --> 0:06:49.840
<v Speaker 3>women and they were all either married, dating someone seriously,

0:06:50.200 --> 0:06:52.839
<v Speaker 3>or whatnot. And they were all talking about the flowers

0:06:52.839 --> 0:06:54.640
<v Speaker 3>they were going to receive or the big plans they

0:06:54.640 --> 0:06:56.719
<v Speaker 3>had for Valentine's Day. And I was having a little

0:06:56.760 --> 0:06:59.479
<v Speaker 3>pity party because I didn't have anybody and thought I

0:06:59.480 --> 0:07:02.599
<v Speaker 3>was going to be all forever. And you know, my

0:07:02.720 --> 0:07:04.640
<v Speaker 3>mom is my best friend, so I was kind of

0:07:04.720 --> 0:07:07.679
<v Speaker 3>whining to her and telling her, you know, my sad story.

0:07:07.720 --> 0:07:10.840
<v Speaker 3>And Valentine's Day came and I was the first one

0:07:10.840 --> 0:07:12.480
<v Speaker 3>in the office and I was kind of dreading it

0:07:12.560 --> 0:07:16.280
<v Speaker 3>because I wasn't going to get anything. And the first

0:07:16.280 --> 0:07:19.640
<v Speaker 3>delivery of the day, the florists, came around the corner

0:07:19.640 --> 0:07:21.680
<v Speaker 3>and I said, oh, who's the lucky lady? And he

0:07:21.800 --> 0:07:25.480
<v Speaker 3>said my name and I said, are you sure? And

0:07:25.640 --> 0:07:27.600
<v Speaker 3>he said yeah, and he handed me the flowers and

0:07:27.600 --> 0:07:29.720
<v Speaker 3>when I looked at the card, they were from my

0:07:29.760 --> 0:07:33.080
<v Speaker 3>mom and dad. My mom had, you know, called and

0:07:33.200 --> 0:07:36.640
<v Speaker 3>ordered me flowers and you know, wrote a real loving card,

0:07:36.680 --> 0:07:39.360
<v Speaker 3>you know that said you'll You'll always be loved. And

0:07:40.200 --> 0:07:42.400
<v Speaker 3>they were just the most beautiful roses I've ever seen

0:07:42.440 --> 0:07:45.000
<v Speaker 3>before or since then. And it just it meant so

0:07:45.080 --> 0:07:46.680
<v Speaker 3>much to me for her to do that. She's a

0:07:46.720 --> 0:07:48.960
<v Speaker 3>great lady, and stuff like that just kind of brings

0:07:49.000 --> 0:07:50.600
<v Speaker 3>it to mine. When you're one of six, It's like,

0:07:50.640 --> 0:07:52.640
<v Speaker 3>those are the things that really stand out when you

0:07:52.680 --> 0:07:54.560
<v Speaker 3>know she can pick you and do something like that

0:07:54.600 --> 0:07:55.960
<v Speaker 3>when there's so much on her plate.

0:07:56.080 --> 0:07:57.520
<v Speaker 1>Well, I have to be honest with you. I know

0:07:57.680 --> 0:08:00.680
<v Speaker 1>most people think of Valentine's Day as sweet Heart's Day

0:08:00.760 --> 0:08:04.400
<v Speaker 1>and romance and kisses. But because my birthday is the

0:08:04.480 --> 0:08:08.840
<v Speaker 1>following day, my mother always celebrated my birthday on Valentine's

0:08:09.240 --> 0:08:12.640
<v Speaker 1>So for me, Valentine's has always been about family, about

0:08:12.680 --> 0:08:15.560
<v Speaker 1>my mom, about my brothers and sisters, about my best

0:08:15.560 --> 0:08:19.960
<v Speaker 1>friends at school, and making those goofy little Valentine's hearts.

0:08:20.480 --> 0:08:24.440
<v Speaker 1>It was never about, you know, the romance and the

0:08:24.520 --> 0:08:27.600
<v Speaker 1>passion and all that stuff. It was always about people that.

0:08:27.520 --> 0:08:29.640
<v Speaker 3>You love, like your mama exactly.

0:08:32.960 --> 0:08:35.800
<v Speaker 1>I so hope you have enjoyed these radio moments as

0:08:35.880 --> 0:08:38.720
