Speaker 1: Hey It's Delilah. Thank you for stopping by. I have
Speaker 1: put together some of my favorite radio moments here to
Speaker 1: share with you on our daily podcast through Hey It's Delilah. Today,
Speaker 1: I'm sharing some of the greatest calls I've taken recently.
Speaker 1: We're going to weave them together and share them with
Speaker 1: you on Hey It's Delilah.
Speaker 2: Lynn Welcome.
Speaker 1: What can I do to make your night more special
Speaker 1: tonight on the Delilah Show.
Speaker 3: Well, I would like for you to play a song
Speaker 3: from my wife. We met on the large college campus
Speaker 3: in the South through fraternity sorority stuff and got married
Speaker 3: two years later. We're still married, and I think the
Speaker 3: thing that's kept us together over the years We've only
Speaker 3: been married five years only, but I think it's been
Speaker 3: a combination of trust and adaptability. We've adapted to new situations.
Speaker 3: We've lived in the North, in the South, and just
Speaker 3: still going strong.
Speaker 1: So let me ask you this, Lynn, she was a
Speaker 1: sorority girl. Did she get the ring by spring?
Speaker 3: Yeah? I'm going to say it this way. Neither one
Speaker 3: of us really were worried about getting married, and then
Speaker 3: then we met each other and it was like almost
Speaker 3: love at first sight and it worked. It's worked well.
Speaker 3: If we kept together for fifty five years after being married?
Speaker 2: What is your wife's name?
Speaker 1: And and it was almost love at first sight. Who
Speaker 1: noticed the other one first? Did she make eyes at you?
Speaker 1: Or were you checking her out first?
Speaker 3: I think it was more of me checking her out?
Speaker 3: But she by the end of the first six months
Speaker 3: that we were together. It was pretty well solidly attached
Speaker 3: at the time, and her mother wanted us to get
Speaker 3: a ring it at Christmas that year. We didn't get
Speaker 3: that until the next year. And we've enjoyed lots of
Speaker 3: good things together. We've raised two kids there in their
Speaker 3: forties right now. Got a great grandkid actually now, so
Speaker 3: I'm a great grandparent. Became that on Saint Patrick's Day
Speaker 3: this year.
Speaker 1: Well, let me play a song for you two that
Speaker 1: are fifty five years and going strong. Here's to another
Speaker 1: fifty five. Okay, amen, thank you, thank you, thank.
Speaker 2: You for calling. Thank you for letting me be a
Speaker 2: part of your love story.
Speaker 3: Thank you. Love like.
Speaker 2: Hi, Allison, This is Delilah. Can I do for you?
Speaker 4: Hi, Delilah, I was just calling to maybe get some advice.
Speaker 2: Oh, do we have a Delilah dilemma?
Speaker 4: Yes, it's it's a happy dilemma. I suppose this uh guy, Travis,
Speaker 4: we've been friends. I met him last year through a
Speaker 4: mutual friend, and we had a lot in common, and
Speaker 4: he just became a really great friend. And I think
Speaker 4: he confessed to me, you know, that he liked me,
Speaker 4: and at the time, I just didn't return the feelings.
Speaker 4: I you know, I just wanted to be friends and
Speaker 4: I kind of liked another guy. And we've over the year,
Speaker 4: you know, we've he's liked other people, and I liked
Speaker 4: other people. And but now I've I've just kind of
Speaker 4: come to the realization that, you know, this guy is
Speaker 4: a great guy, and he's just got a great spirit,
Speaker 4: and we have a lot in common. And and but
Speaker 4: I'm scared that maybe he's already you know, I'm scared
Speaker 4: he's settled that you know, hey, we're just going to
Speaker 4: be friends.
Speaker 2: How old are you.
Speaker 1: I'm twenty three, So basically you're begging for a second chance.
Speaker 5: Yeah I am, Yeah, I am.
Speaker 1: I'm saying I was a big knucklehead. I wasn't quite
Speaker 1: over somebody else, and so I pushed him to the side.
Speaker 2: I kicked him to the curb. And now I'm going,
Speaker 2: Wait a minute, what was I thinking?
Speaker 4: You know, it's just the feelings weren't there, and now
Speaker 4: the more they are, feelings are here.
Speaker 1: Now you suddenly noticed that, Oh my gosh, she's so cute. Yes, ma'am,
Speaker 1: I will play a song for you.
Speaker 4: Thank you.
Speaker 1: You have a good night. Hi, Dave, thank you for
Speaker 1: calling Hello. What can I do for you? This evening?
Speaker 5: I wanted to send a song out to an girlfriend,
Speaker 5: and I wanted to tell her that I'm sorry. We
Speaker 5: had dated for about three years and I had to
Speaker 5: move here about a year ago to be near her.
Speaker 5: And in that year some things changed and I wanted more.
Speaker 5: And I couldn't realize at the time that she was
Speaker 5: giving me everything that she could give me. She's a
Speaker 5: single parent, and I couldn't see that I had everything
Speaker 5: I needed. I was so busy looking for what I
Speaker 5: wanted it I couldn't see that I had everything I needed.
Speaker 5: And I just walked out of her life. She was
Speaker 5: waiting for me to call, I guess, and I was
Speaker 5: waiting for her to call, and we just never spoke again.
Speaker 5: And then about two months ago, I realized, you know,
Speaker 5: just how much I missed her and how much I
Speaker 5: wanted her back, and I tried to contact her, and
Speaker 5: we did. We talked a couple of times. But since
Speaker 5: she's dating someone else and she's moved on, and she
Speaker 5: says that she's forgiven me. But I just you know,
Speaker 5: I love her and I miss her, and I just
Speaker 5: wanted to know that if anything in her life ever changes,
Speaker 5: you know, I'm here.
Speaker 2: How long did you go without talking to her?
Speaker 5: About six months?
Speaker 2: Okay, and you think that this woman should give you
Speaker 2: another chance?
Speaker 5: I'm prayerful anyway.
Speaker 2: Well, I'm glad you're prayerful. But I would never, ever.
Speaker 1: In a million years, if a guy broke my heart
Speaker 1: that bad and was gone that long everything that he
Speaker 1: wouldn't do it. I'd be scared to death that the
Speaker 1: next time he got upset, he'd be hit the door
Speaker 1: and go.
Speaker 2: Running and not come back.
Speaker 5: I deserve that.
Speaker 1: What can you say or what can you tell me
Speaker 1: that would make her think that you wouldn't do that.
Speaker 5: I know in my heart that we should be together,
Speaker 5: and I know that I made a terrible mistake. And
Speaker 5: all I could do is just ask her to look
Speaker 5: inside what we had and you know, find it in
Speaker 5: her heart to hopefully you give me a second chance.
Speaker 2: Tarin, Hi, welcome to the Delilah Show.
Speaker 6: Hi, Delilah.
Speaker 2: So I hear congratulations are in order?
Speaker 6: Yes, I hope.
Speaker 2: So tell me what you're celebrating.
Speaker 6: Well, I'm going to be graduating from nursing school in
Speaker 6: four and a half months. I have to think my wonderful,
Speaker 6: amazing and supportive husband, because without him, I would not
Speaker 6: be where I am today. His name is Stephen.
Speaker 1: And how many times did you tell Stephen, Honey, I
Speaker 1: can't because I have to study tonight. I can't go there.
Speaker 1: I got homework to Stephen.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry. I can't even clean that.
Speaker 1: I can't even get the dishes washed because I got
Speaker 1: homework to do.
Speaker 6: I think every single day.
Speaker 2: And he never complained, not once.
Speaker 6: And I have children from another marriage, and he has
Speaker 6: stepped in and he takes them to all of their
Speaker 6: extracurricular activities and he's always there helping with their homework.
Speaker 6: He's just wonderful. And the best part is that he
Speaker 6: has allowed me to quit my job after I was
Speaker 6: there for fifteen years, so that I could strictly focus
Speaker 6: on school because the material is just getting progressively more
Speaker 6: difficult and I really needed to focus and he just
Speaker 6: has taken over the signing answers and helping around the house,
Speaker 6: and he has just done everything for me.
Speaker 2: And where did you meet Saint Stephen?
Speaker 6: I imagine that Luke actually, Wow. Yes, we've been fun for
Speaker 6: fifteen years and we just got married two years ago.
Speaker 1: I will play a wonderful song for you for him.
Speaker 1: Congratulations on making it through nursing school. I know that
Speaker 1: is quite the accomplishment. I have a couple of friends
Speaker 1: that man, they just takes everything. It takes all your energy.
Speaker 1: So I'm so proud of you.
Speaker 6: Thank you so much. I'm so excited about my new
Speaker 6: career and just moving forward with my life. It's going
Speaker 6: to be wonderful.
Speaker 1: I so hope you have enjoyed these radio moments as
Speaker 1: much as I enjoy bringing them to you.
Speaker 2: I'll share more with you
Speaker 1: Each weekday on Hey It's Delilah.
