Speaker 3: Hi Delilah, It's Clara.
Speaker 4: Back in July, I called you because I have Salen
Speaker 4: broke mytip. If you remember, and I had told you
Speaker 4: my husband had passed away, and you had you had
Speaker 4: had so many beautiful words you had said to me.
Speaker 4: You're in just got me to keep going and going
Speaker 4: and going, And I am now doing better than what
Speaker 4: I was. I sure miss my husband because he passed away.
Speaker 4: I enjoy listening to you every single night.
Speaker 1: If I recall, Clara, correct me if I'm wrong. When
Speaker 1: you called, though, there was no joy and hope and
Speaker 1: excitement at hearing your grandkids' voices. Last time we spoke,
Speaker 1: you were you were in the depths of the grief
Speaker 1: of losing your best friend.
Speaker 4: Yes, I was I was messed up. I really was
Speaker 4: losing my husband and the me fallen, and my grandkids
Speaker 4: are all out of town. It's you know, it's it hurts,
Speaker 4: you know, but they have to be where they have
Speaker 4: to be, you know, with their families. I don't know
Speaker 4: how to explain it, but just to tell you, you inspired
Speaker 4: me every single night listening to you, and I keep
Speaker 4: your words close to my heart because I just I
Speaker 4: enjoy your music. I enjoy trying to call you and
Speaker 4: talk to you you and I think you have me
Speaker 4: going and going and going and going. If you really
Speaker 4: want to know the truth to side my grandkids.
Speaker 2: You want to know something.
Speaker 1: You inspired me that night because I remember that conversation
Speaker 1: and what I did not share with you is that
Speaker 1: I was going through some stuff because the man that
Speaker 1: I'm married to is very stubborn and doesn't communicate the
Speaker 1: way that I do, and I was so frustrated. And
Speaker 1: when you called and started talking about the relationship that
Speaker 1: you were grieving with your husband, it made me realize
Speaker 1: how blessed I am and that I needed to change
Speaker 1: my heart and see all that I have been gifted.
Speaker 1: So without even knowing it, you inspired me.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I did not know. Thank you so very much
Speaker 4: and I enjoy your music and what you do for everybody. Delilah,
Speaker 4: You're just a god to give to all.
Speaker 2: Of us, and God bless you.
Speaker 1: Honey.
Speaker 2: Hi, good evening, Welcome to the Delilah Show. Who is this?
Speaker 5: Hi, Delilah. My name is Doreen, and this is a
Speaker 5: thank you. My husband and I lived on the same street.
Speaker 5: I had met him when I was ten. I married
Speaker 5: him when I was twenty, and I knew his family.
Speaker 5: I'm fifty seven now for forty six years. We're coming
Speaker 5: up to a very special anniversary. His mother died a
Speaker 5: year ago, and I want to thank you, Delilah for
Speaker 5: getting me through it, because every single night I listened
Speaker 5: to your station, and so did she, and I was
Speaker 5: with her the week that she died, and you really
Speaker 5: got us through it. Freddy and I've been married now
Speaker 5: thirty six years, and really and truly when we first
Speaker 5: got the diagnosis of the cancer, I didn't think I
Speaker 5: could bear it, and I started listening listening to you,
Speaker 5: listening to the station, listening to other people's stories. My
Speaker 5: mother in law, so she got very ill, listened to
Speaker 5: and the music got us through it. And as this
Speaker 5: anniversary approaches, I look at it with bittersweet memory because
Speaker 5: she was extremely precious, extremely dear to us and gave
Speaker 5: so much of herself to us, and you gave so
Speaker 5: much to help us get through her passing. Thank you,
Speaker 5: You're welcome.
Speaker 1: God bless you, and I'm glad you had such a
Speaker 1: precious mother in law to bless you all those years.
Speaker 2: And you have a good night, sweetie, you too there,
Speaker 2: Bye bye bye, Hi, good evening.
Speaker 5: Who is this all right?
Speaker 6: My name is Ron?
Speaker 1: Ron.
Speaker 2: What can I do for you tonight?
Speaker 6: Well, my brother recently passed away and I was just
Speaker 6: thinking of him, as I do often, And you know,
Speaker 6: you have to understand, he was a guy that lived
Speaker 6: for the moment, and and I had been through the
Speaker 6: wringer and back together more than one time. We just
Speaker 6: all missed him a lot. He rode motorcycles. He just
Speaker 6: you know, he was just a wild, kind of out
Speaker 6: over the edge kind of guy, and as was I
Speaker 6: in my younger day.
Speaker 2: Funny how having kids kind of changes all that, isn't it.
Speaker 6: Yeah? But I just I kind of had the blues
Speaker 6: today thinking about him. I don't know, I just I
Speaker 6: guess the one thing that he shared with me that
Speaker 6: I'd like to share with everyone else. Is He used
Speaker 6: to tell me, Ron, I've never seen a hearse yet
Speaker 6: pulling a U haul trailer. And you should never ever
Speaker 6: leave anything unset, so you can't take it with you.
Speaker 6: And you got to let people know what you think.
Speaker 6: This guy was larger than live. I mean, he he
Speaker 6: just was such an awesome individual. He was my hero,
Speaker 6: you know, all the time I was growing up, and
Speaker 6: I tried to emulate everything he ever did. Some days
Speaker 6: I think I get mad at him because he let
Speaker 6: me here to deal with all this by myself. But
Speaker 6: then I think, you know, it's just like Dave to
Speaker 6: go ahead and make the way for me. You know,
Speaker 6: he's making a better place somewhere for me. So when
Speaker 6: I start to tear up and cry a little bit,
Speaker 6: I just got to disfigure. Well, you know he's in
Speaker 6: a fair place.
Speaker 2: Well, let me find a song for you. Hi, good evening,
Speaker 2: Welcome to the Delilah Show. Who is this Randall?
Speaker 5: Hi?
Speaker 1: Randal?
Speaker 2: Thank you? What can I do for you?
Speaker 4: Well?
Speaker 3: I was calling to see if you could help me
Speaker 3: dedicate a song.
Speaker 2: To somebody who is on your heart? And how can I.
Speaker 3: Help it's my mom. This week, actually, Wednesday marks the
Speaker 3: sixth year anniversary of her death, and last week was
Speaker 3: both mine and her birthdays. She was diagnosed with breast
Speaker 3: cancer when I was thirteen and lived until a few
Speaker 3: days after my nineteenth birthday, So this week's always kind
Speaker 3: of troubling for me, and she wighs really heavily on me.
Speaker 2: And what's mama's name?
Speaker 3: Her name's Brenda, And how old.
Speaker 2: Was she when she was diagnosed?
Speaker 3: She was fifty eight, if I'm not mistaken. When she
Speaker 3: was diagnosed. She had me later in life.
Speaker 2: I was going to say, my.
Speaker 3: My, Yeah, wellow, good for moming much lighter.
Speaker 2: Good for your mom.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry for your loss, but I bet that she
Speaker 1: is so proud of you and looking over you and
Speaker 1: watching out for you and opening doors for you and
Speaker 1: blessing you. Even though you can't see her anymore.
Speaker 3: I feel her with me every day.
Speaker 1: I believe that the reason that my show finally became
Speaker 1: successful after so many years of fighting is because because
Speaker 1: my mom passed away when she was a year younger
Speaker 1: than your mom.
Speaker 2: And I believe.
Speaker 1: That that she got to have it and said, okay, God,
Speaker 1: we got to have a conversation.
Speaker 3: I agree. You know, I went through a lot of
Speaker 3: tough times after my mom passed away, but it was
Speaker 3: like one day I just heard her speak to me
Speaker 3: and say everything was going to be okay, and my
Speaker 3: life's been on the up and out ever since.
Speaker 1: Everything is going to be okay, and I will be
Speaker 1: here to give you an audio hug.
Speaker 2: How's that?
Speaker 3: That's great?
Speaker 2: All right, let me find a good song for Mama.
Speaker 2: Thank you, God, bless honey.
Speaker 1: I so hope you have enjoyed these radio moments as
Speaker 1: much as I enjoy bringing them to you. I'll share
Speaker 1: more with you each weekday on Hey It's Delilah.
