WEBVTT - TIME: It's a gift

0:00:01.960 --> 0:00:05.320
<v Speaker 1>Hey, it's Delilah. Thank you for stopping by. I have

0:00:05.400 --> 0:00:09.480
<v Speaker 1>put together some of my favorite radio moments here to

0:00:09.560 --> 0:00:13.680
<v Speaker 1>share with you on our daily podcast through.

0:00:18.239 --> 0:00:18.599
<v Speaker 2>Time.

0:00:20.000 --> 0:00:26.200
<v Speaker 1>Time is something I've spoken about often, something songs are

0:00:26.239 --> 0:00:30.200
<v Speaker 1>written about. Time is a gift no matter where you

0:00:30.320 --> 0:00:34.640
<v Speaker 1>find yourself. We've been trained to think of time as

0:00:34.680 --> 0:00:38.040
<v Speaker 1>a clock or a calendar. We look at our phones

0:00:38.120 --> 0:00:41.000
<v Speaker 1>now to see what time it is. We're on a schedule,

0:00:41.840 --> 0:00:45.559
<v Speaker 1>but it's not a clock, it's not a calendar. I

0:00:45.600 --> 0:00:50.840
<v Speaker 1>think we all learn that during the COVID shutdown, time

0:00:50.920 --> 0:00:54.760
<v Speaker 1>needs to be viewed through the lens of precious moments,

0:00:55.680 --> 0:01:00.880
<v Speaker 1>of experiences of staying in the precious present with those

0:01:00.960 --> 0:01:06.959
<v Speaker 1>that you love. Don't just count the days, don't just

0:01:07.040 --> 0:01:12.640
<v Speaker 1>count the hours. Make the days, make the hours count

0:01:13.400 --> 0:01:14.480
<v Speaker 1>by living fully.

0:01:16.920 --> 0:01:20.200
<v Speaker 2>Hi, Jennifer, Hi, thank you for taking the time to write.

0:01:20.200 --> 0:01:21.280
<v Speaker 2>How are you good?

0:01:21.319 --> 0:01:21.720
<v Speaker 3>How are you?

0:01:22.040 --> 0:01:25.200
<v Speaker 4>I'm wonderful you sent us a beautiful story that you

0:01:25.200 --> 0:01:28.120
<v Speaker 4>wrote about some time with your grandpa. Yeah, could you

0:01:28.560 --> 0:01:30.839
<v Speaker 4>share with our listeners what you wrote to me about?

0:01:31.240 --> 0:01:36.160
<v Speaker 3>Sure? My grandparents were nearing their fiftieth anniversary and as

0:01:36.240 --> 0:01:39.920
<v Speaker 3>a family, we decided to take a trip to Ireland.

0:01:40.319 --> 0:01:43.960
<v Speaker 3>My grandfather had a heart condition and a really bad knee,

0:01:43.959 --> 0:01:46.480
<v Speaker 3>and he decided that he wasn't going to have surgery

0:01:46.560 --> 0:01:49.200
<v Speaker 3>until they could take care of both. So when we

0:01:49.240 --> 0:01:53.000
<v Speaker 3>went to Ireland, it was kind of a real quest

0:01:53.080 --> 0:01:56.280
<v Speaker 3>for all of us. He accidentally forgot to bring his

0:01:56.400 --> 0:01:58.800
<v Speaker 3>nitro patches, though, so as we made our way around

0:01:58.840 --> 0:02:01.400
<v Speaker 3>the country, he wasn't able to do a lot of

0:02:01.400 --> 0:02:03.880
<v Speaker 3>the things that we were able to do. And when

0:02:03.920 --> 0:02:06.600
<v Speaker 3>we got to Blarney Castle, we all got to go

0:02:06.800 --> 0:02:09.320
<v Speaker 3>up inside the castle and kiss the stone because that's

0:02:09.400 --> 0:02:11.720
<v Speaker 3>up on the top, and he just kind of wandered

0:02:11.760 --> 0:02:15.480
<v Speaker 3>around taking video of the grounds, which is absolutely beautiful.

0:02:16.000 --> 0:02:20.040
<v Speaker 3>And when we got done kissing the stone, we came

0:02:20.080 --> 0:02:22.440
<v Speaker 3>down and started making our way towards the bus, and

0:02:22.840 --> 0:02:25.320
<v Speaker 3>of course my grandfather wasn't keeping up, so I hung

0:02:25.400 --> 0:02:28.240
<v Speaker 3>back and I told him that I loved him very

0:02:28.360 --> 0:02:30.960
<v Speaker 3>much and that it would mean a lot to me

0:02:31.360 --> 0:02:33.919
<v Speaker 3>if he would have the surgery, because I wanted him

0:02:34.000 --> 0:02:37.640
<v Speaker 3>to be around when I got married and you know,

0:02:37.720 --> 0:02:40.400
<v Speaker 3>when my sisters and I started having children, and he

0:02:40.440 --> 0:02:42.080
<v Speaker 3>made a promise to me that he would do that.

0:02:42.880 --> 0:02:47.560
<v Speaker 3>Unfortunately he didn't, and he died about six months before

0:02:47.600 --> 0:02:51.000
<v Speaker 3>I get married. And now when I think of him,

0:02:51.400 --> 0:02:55.320
<v Speaker 3>I just envisioned him on top of Blarney Castle, seeing

0:02:55.320 --> 0:02:57.080
<v Speaker 3>all the sights that we were able to see in

0:02:57.120 --> 0:02:58.839
<v Speaker 3>the beauty of the land, and I know that he's

0:02:58.840 --> 0:02:59.560
<v Speaker 3>looking over me.

0:03:00.080 --> 0:03:02.399
<v Speaker 2>Well, I know you're missing your grandpa terribly, but I'm

0:03:02.400 --> 0:03:04.440
<v Speaker 2>so glad that God gave you that time with him.

0:03:04.639 --> 0:03:06.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it was amazing and I remember it always.

0:03:07.520 --> 0:03:09.600
<v Speaker 2>Well, cherish that memory in your heart and let me

0:03:09.600 --> 0:03:12.360
<v Speaker 2>find a song to honor Grandpa. Thank you God, bless

0:03:12.360 --> 0:03:20.000
<v Speaker 2>you you, Delilah, Thank.

0:03:19.840 --> 0:03:22.280
<v Speaker 5>You for calling. This is Delilah, who's with me on

0:03:22.320 --> 0:03:23.120
<v Speaker 5>the phone line.

0:03:23.480 --> 0:03:25.160
<v Speaker 6>Hi, Delilah, this is Lauren.

0:03:25.760 --> 0:03:27.160
<v Speaker 2>Lauren, what can I do for you?

0:03:27.800 --> 0:03:31.840
<v Speaker 6>I'd like to have you do a dedication to my son, Michael.

0:03:32.720 --> 0:03:36.560
<v Speaker 6>He's seven years old. Sorry, I'm just a little choked

0:03:36.600 --> 0:03:40.360
<v Speaker 6>up over thinking about him. We've been going through some

0:03:40.480 --> 0:03:43.080
<v Speaker 6>rough times right now, trying to buy a new house

0:03:43.120 --> 0:03:47.000
<v Speaker 6>and stuff, and he's been kind of forgotten about, not

0:03:47.360 --> 0:03:50.600
<v Speaker 6>gotten much attention lately. And he made a comment to

0:03:50.640 --> 0:03:54.760
<v Speaker 6>me today that just kind of, you know, MIDlet of

0:03:54.840 --> 0:03:57.520
<v Speaker 6>rough deal with say that I don't play with him

0:03:57.520 --> 0:04:02.400
<v Speaker 6>anymore and busy computers and trying to find the house

0:04:02.440 --> 0:04:05.520
<v Speaker 6>and trying to fight finance, and he listened to see

0:04:05.600 --> 0:04:08.440
<v Speaker 6>every night, even make comments before about say can you

0:04:08.440 --> 0:04:11.840
<v Speaker 6>get a dedication to the Delilah you know, and said

0:04:11.880 --> 0:04:14.360
<v Speaker 6>I'll try sometime, you know. So I thought, I'm trying

0:04:14.400 --> 0:04:16.680
<v Speaker 6>to give him a call tonight, see if there's some

0:04:16.720 --> 0:04:19.200
<v Speaker 6>way you can said something out to him.

0:04:19.839 --> 0:04:23.680
<v Speaker 5>So you're feeling a little guilty, like maybe priorities weren't

0:04:23.680 --> 0:04:24.560
<v Speaker 5>where they should have been.

0:04:25.440 --> 0:04:28.240
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, at times, try to get him a kind of

0:04:28.480 --> 0:04:31.120
<v Speaker 6>situation that we're in now. It's where he can't.

0:04:31.640 --> 0:04:34.240
<v Speaker 5>I understand that, but it sounds like what he's saying

0:04:34.400 --> 0:04:37.720
<v Speaker 5>is I appreciate Dad that you're doing all this for us,

0:04:37.760 --> 0:04:39.320

<v Speaker 2>What can I do for you tonight?

0:05:24.760 --> 0:05:27.800
<v Speaker 8>I'm actually calling to see if you could play a

0:05:27.880 --> 0:05:32.000
<v Speaker 8>song for my grandmothers. She just passed away last night,

0:05:33.720 --> 0:05:37.240
<v Speaker 8>not totally unexpected. We knew it was coming, that she's

0:05:37.360 --> 0:05:39.440
<v Speaker 8>been sick for a while and she was in the

0:05:39.480 --> 0:05:41.920
<v Speaker 8>hospital for a few days here, so we knew it

0:05:42.080 --> 0:05:45.240
<v Speaker 8>was coming. But we're sure going to miss her. She

0:05:45.440 --> 0:05:47.040
<v Speaker 8>was in a really amazing lady.

0:05:47.240 --> 0:05:49.560
<v Speaker 2>So how old was grandma?

0:05:50.480 --> 0:05:51.839
<v Speaker 8>Grandma was eighty five.

0:05:52.839 --> 0:05:55.040
<v Speaker 2>And what are some of your favorite memories?

0:05:56.600 --> 0:05:59.599
<v Speaker 8>I have to say, probably one of my most favorite

0:05:59.600 --> 0:06:04.320
<v Speaker 8>memories is baking with her. And we used to make

0:06:04.360 --> 0:06:09.960
<v Speaker 8>something called monkey bread together and it was this delicious

0:06:09.960 --> 0:06:13.799
<v Speaker 8>cinnamon sugar bread that was fun to make but also

0:06:13.880 --> 0:06:17.320
<v Speaker 8>fun to eat, and that was just something we both

0:06:17.400 --> 0:06:18.839
<v Speaker 8>really really enjoyed doing.

0:06:19.640 --> 0:06:21.560
<v Speaker 2>What a wonderful treat.

0:06:21.920 --> 0:06:25.919
<v Speaker 5>Yes, is there a song that brings Backgroundma's memories to

0:06:25.960 --> 0:06:27.279
<v Speaker 5>your heart that you want to hear?

0:06:28.279 --> 0:06:32.320
<v Speaker 8>Nothing really specific. I mean, she was just an amazing lady.

0:06:32.400 --> 0:06:35.840
<v Speaker 8>She was you know, she was a very tough, toughly

0:06:36.000 --> 0:06:39.760
<v Speaker 8>but she was also very warm hearted, loving, giving, cheering person.

0:06:40.040 --> 0:06:44.520
<v Speaker 8>So nothing specific, but I know you always took perfect songs,

0:06:44.560 --> 0:06:46.120
<v Speaker 8>So let.

<v Speaker 10>pull anything happy out, anything sad. And we were looking

0:07:18.560 --> 0:07:22.360

<v Speaker 4>So what special thing did Dad pull off?

0:07:41.560 --> 0:07:44.600
<v Speaker 9>He looked through the paper and he found a play

0:07:44.680 --> 0:07:47.840
<v Speaker 9>that we could be in together. So he wasn't planning

0:07:47.880 --> 0:07:50.600
<v Speaker 9>on being in and at first, but then they needed

0:07:50.600 --> 0:07:54.000
<v Speaker 9>more actors, so he got involved in. That was our

0:07:54.040 --> 0:07:57.520
<v Speaker 9>first play together and we were an Annie and now

0:07:57.600 --> 0:08:00.800
<v Speaker 9>we have Jeff Been and another one together. And the

<v Speaker 9>reason why I really love being in The play with

<v Speaker 9>my dad is that every night when we go home,

0:08:08.000 --> 0:08:12.600
<v Speaker 9>we listen to you, and we talk and we laugh,

0:08:12.720 --> 0:08:15.760
<v Speaker 9>and we get to spend some quality time together. And

0:08:16.200 --> 0:08:19.080
<v Speaker 9>I'm lucky that I have a special dad who can

0:08:19.240 --> 0:08:21.120
<v Speaker 9>think of of things like that.

0:08:21.640 --> 0:08:23.080
