<v Speaker 3>Hi Delilah, It's Clara.

0:00:48.600 --> 0:00:51.040
<v Speaker 4>Back in July, I called you because I have Salen

0:00:51.080 --> 0:00:53.239
<v Speaker 4>broke mytip. If you remember, and I had told you

0:00:53.280 --> 0:00:56.800
<v Speaker 4>my husband had passed away, and you had you had

0:00:57.120 --> 0:00:59.440
<v Speaker 4>had so many beautiful words you had said to me.

0:00:59.560 --> 0:01:03.200
<v Speaker 4>You're in just got me to keep going and going

0:01:03.240 --> 0:01:06.399
<v Speaker 4>and going, And I am now doing better than what

0:01:06.480 --> 0:01:09.880
<v Speaker 4>I was. I sure miss my husband because he passed away.

0:01:10.760 --> 0:01:13.200
<v Speaker 4>I enjoy listening to you every single night.

0:01:13.800 --> 0:01:15.959
<v Speaker 1>If I recall, Clara, correct me if I'm wrong. When

0:01:15.959 --> 0:01:20.440
<v Speaker 1>you called, though, there was no joy and hope and

0:01:20.560 --> 0:01:24.880
<v Speaker 1>excitement at hearing your grandkids' voices. Last time we spoke,

0:01:25.000 --> 0:01:29.000
<v Speaker 1>you were you were in the depths of the grief

0:01:29.120 --> 0:01:30.640
<v Speaker 1>of losing your best friend.

0:01:31.240 --> 0:01:34.319
<v Speaker 4>Yes, I was I was messed up. I really was

0:01:34.440 --> 0:01:38.120
<v Speaker 4>losing my husband and the me fallen, and my grandkids

0:01:38.160 --> 0:01:41.800
<v Speaker 4>are all out of town. It's you know, it's it hurts,

0:01:41.840 --> 0:01:43.679
<v Speaker 4>you know, but they have to be where they have

0:01:43.840 --> 0:01:46.200
<v Speaker 4>to be, you know, with their families. I don't know

0:01:46.200 --> 0:01:49.600
<v Speaker 4>how to explain it, but just to tell you, you inspired

0:01:49.640 --> 0:01:53.040
<v Speaker 4>me every single night listening to you, and I keep

0:01:53.120 --> 0:01:56.880
<v Speaker 4>your words close to my heart because I just I

0:01:57.000 --> 0:01:59.520
<v Speaker 4>enjoy your music. I enjoy trying to call you and

0:01:59.560 --> 0:02:02.400
<v Speaker 4>talk to you you and I think you have me

0:02:02.480 --> 0:02:04.520
<v Speaker 4>going and going and going and going. If you really

0:02:04.520 --> 0:02:07.480
<v Speaker 4>want to know the truth to side my grandkids.

0:02:07.320 --> 0:02:08.280
<v Speaker 2>You want to know something.

0:02:09.040 --> 0:02:12.560
<v Speaker 1>You inspired me that night because I remember that conversation

0:02:12.760 --> 0:02:15.840
<v Speaker 1>and what I did not share with you is that

0:02:15.919 --> 0:02:19.600
<v Speaker 1>I was going through some stuff because the man that

0:02:19.639 --> 0:02:26.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm married to is very stubborn and doesn't communicate the

0:02:26.120 --> 0:02:30.000
<v Speaker 1>way that I do, and I was so frustrated. And

0:02:30.040 --> 0:02:34.800
<v Speaker 1>when you called and started talking about the relationship that

0:02:34.880 --> 0:02:39.040
<v Speaker 1>you were grieving with your husband, it made me realize

0:02:39.080 --> 0:02:44.720
<v Speaker 1>how blessed I am and that I needed to change

0:02:44.760 --> 0:02:47.960
<v Speaker 1>my heart and see all that I have been gifted.

0:02:49.080 --> 0:02:51.560
<v Speaker 1>So without even knowing it, you inspired me.

0:02:52.160 --> 0:02:54.880
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I did not know. Thank you so very much

0:02:54.919 --> 0:02:58.799
<v Speaker 4>and I enjoy your music and what you do for everybody. Delilah,

0:02:58.880 --> 0:03:01.200
<v Speaker 4>You're just a god to give to all.

0:03:01.040 --> 0:03:02.480
<v Speaker 2>Of us, and God bless you.

0:03:02.560 --> 0:03:04.320
<v Speaker 1>Honey.

0:03:09.040 --> 0:03:11.799
<v Speaker 2>Hi, good evening, Welcome to the Delilah Show. Who is this?

0:03:12.440 --> 0:03:15.480
<v Speaker 5>Hi, Delilah. My name is Doreen, and this is a

0:03:15.639 --> 0:03:18.960
<v Speaker 5>thank you. My husband and I lived on the same street.

0:03:19.240 --> 0:03:21.720
<v Speaker 5>I had met him when I was ten. I married

0:03:21.760 --> 0:03:24.280
<v Speaker 5>him when I was twenty, and I knew his family.

0:03:24.760 --> 0:03:29.600
<v Speaker 5>I'm fifty seven now for forty six years. We're coming

0:03:29.680 --> 0:03:33.240
<v Speaker 5>up to a very special anniversary. His mother died a

0:03:33.360 --> 0:03:36.360
<v Speaker 5>year ago, and I want to thank you, Delilah for

0:03:36.360 --> 0:03:40.360
<v Speaker 5>getting me through it, because every single night I listened

0:03:40.520 --> 0:03:43.600
<v Speaker 5>to your station, and so did she, and I was

0:03:43.640 --> 0:03:46.320
<v Speaker 5>with her the week that she died, and you really

0:03:46.360 --> 0:03:49.280
<v Speaker 5>got us through it. Freddy and I've been married now

0:03:49.360 --> 0:03:54.080
<v Speaker 5>thirty six years, and really and truly when we first

0:03:54.160 --> 0:03:57.480
<v Speaker 5>got the diagnosis of the cancer, I didn't think I

0:03:57.520 --> 0:04:01.000
<v Speaker 5>could bear it, and I started listening listening to you,

0:04:01.160 --> 0:04:04.640
<v Speaker 5>listening to the station, listening to other people's stories. My

0:04:04.760 --> 0:04:06.840
<v Speaker 5>mother in law, so she got very ill, listened to

0:04:07.600 --> 0:04:10.520
<v Speaker 5>and the music got us through it. And as this

0:04:10.760 --> 0:04:15.920
<v Speaker 5>anniversary approaches, I look at it with bittersweet memory because

0:04:16.320 --> 0:04:19.400
<v Speaker 5>she was extremely precious, extremely dear to us and gave

0:04:19.520 --> 0:04:23.159
<v Speaker 5>so much of herself to us, and you gave so

0:04:23.320 --> 0:04:27.440
<v Speaker 5>much to help us get through her passing. Thank you,

0:04:27.440 --> 0:04:28.039
<v Speaker 5>You're welcome.

0:04:28.120 --> 0:04:30.160
<v Speaker 1>God bless you, and I'm glad you had such a

0:04:31.240 --> 0:04:33.599
<v Speaker 1>precious mother in law to bless you all those years.

0:04:33.640 --> 0:04:36.000
<v Speaker 2>And you have a good night, sweetie, you too there,

0:04:36.320 --> 0:04:43.120
<v Speaker 2>Bye bye bye, Hi, good evening.

0:04:43.200 --> 0:04:44.440
<v Speaker 5>Who is this all right?

0:04:44.480 --> 0:04:45.239
<v Speaker 6>My name is Ron?

0:04:45.560 --> 0:04:45.800
<v Speaker 1>Ron.

0:04:45.880 --> 0:04:47.400
<v Speaker 2>What can I do for you tonight?

0:04:47.680 --> 0:04:52.400
<v Speaker 6>Well, my brother recently passed away and I was just

0:04:52.480 --> 0:04:56.000
<v Speaker 6>thinking of him, as I do often, And you know,

0:04:56.080 --> 0:04:58.599
<v Speaker 6>you have to understand, he was a guy that lived

0:04:58.600 --> 0:05:01.040
<v Speaker 6>for the moment, and and I had been through the

0:05:01.080 --> 0:05:04.719
<v Speaker 6>wringer and back together more than one time. We just

0:05:04.760 --> 0:05:08.760
<v Speaker 6>all missed him a lot. He rode motorcycles. He just

0:05:08.920 --> 0:05:11.719
<v Speaker 6>you know, he was just a wild, kind of out

0:05:11.760 --> 0:05:15.359
<v Speaker 6>over the edge kind of guy, and as was I

0:05:15.480 --> 0:05:16.320
<v Speaker 6>in my younger day.

0:05:16.480 --> 0:05:19.440
<v Speaker 2>Funny how having kids kind of changes all that, isn't it.

0:05:19.880 --> 0:05:22.520
<v Speaker 6>Yeah? But I just I kind of had the blues

0:05:22.520 --> 0:05:25.000
<v Speaker 6>today thinking about him. I don't know, I just I

0:05:25.000 --> 0:05:27.440
<v Speaker 6>guess the one thing that he shared with me that

0:05:27.480 --> 0:05:30.600
<v Speaker 6>I'd like to share with everyone else. Is He used

0:05:30.600 --> 0:05:33.520
<v Speaker 6>to tell me, Ron, I've never seen a hearse yet

0:05:33.520 --> 0:05:37.159
<v Speaker 6>pulling a U haul trailer. And you should never ever

0:05:37.240 --> 0:05:40.000
<v Speaker 6>leave anything unset, so you can't take it with you.

0:05:40.240 --> 0:05:42.239
<v Speaker 6>And you got to let people know what you think.

0:05:43.440 --> 0:05:46.359
<v Speaker 6>This guy was larger than live. I mean, he he

0:05:46.600 --> 0:05:50.839
<v Speaker 6>just was such an awesome individual. He was my hero,

0:05:51.520 --> 0:05:54.160
<v Speaker 6>you know, all the time I was growing up, and

0:05:54.440 --> 0:05:57.920
<v Speaker 6>I tried to emulate everything he ever did. Some days

0:05:57.960 --> 0:05:59.920
<v Speaker 6>I think I get mad at him because he let

0:05:59.880 --> 0:06:03.880
<v Speaker 6>me here to deal with all this by myself. But

0:06:04.000 --> 0:06:06.440
<v Speaker 6>then I think, you know, it's just like Dave to

0:06:06.520 --> 0:06:09.120
<v Speaker 6>go ahead and make the way for me. You know,

0:06:09.200 --> 0:06:12.360
<v Speaker 6>he's making a better place somewhere for me. So when

0:06:12.400 --> 0:06:15.360
<v Speaker 6>I start to tear up and cry a little bit,

0:06:15.760 --> 0:06:17.880
<v Speaker 6>I just got to disfigure. Well, you know he's in

0:06:17.960 --> 0:06:18.559
<v Speaker 6>a fair place.

0:06:18.760 --> 0:06:27.760
<v Speaker 2>Well, let me find a song for you. Hi, good evening,

0:06:27.920 --> 0:06:31.880
<v Speaker 2>Welcome to the Delilah Show. Who is this Randall?

0:06:32.240 --> 0:06:32.400
<v Speaker 5>Hi?

0:06:32.560 --> 0:06:32.839
<v Speaker 1>Randal?

0:06:32.960 --> 0:06:34.320
<v Speaker 2>Thank you? What can I do for you?

0:06:35.200 --> 0:06:35.400
<v Speaker 4>Well?

0:06:35.480 --> 0:06:37.880
<v Speaker 3>I was calling to see if you could help me

0:06:37.960 --> 0:06:39.160
<v Speaker 3>dedicate a song.

0:06:39.000 --> 0:06:42.720
<v Speaker 2>To somebody who is on your heart? And how can I.

0:06:42.640 --> 0:06:49.159
<v Speaker 3>Help it's my mom. This week, actually, Wednesday marks the

0:06:49.520 --> 0:06:54.040
<v Speaker 3>sixth year anniversary of her death, and last week was

0:06:54.200 --> 0:06:57.840
<v Speaker 3>both mine and her birthdays. She was diagnosed with breast

0:06:57.880 --> 0:07:02.240
<v Speaker 3>cancer when I was thirteen and lived until a few

0:07:02.320 --> 0:07:05.599
<v Speaker 3>days after my nineteenth birthday, So this week's always kind

0:07:05.600 --> 0:07:09.200
<v Speaker 3>of troubling for me, and she wighs really heavily on me.

0:07:10.240 --> 0:07:11.440
<v Speaker 2>And what's mama's name?

0:07:12.400 --> 0:07:15.239
<v Speaker 3>Her name's Brenda, And how old.

0:07:15.160 --> 0:07:17.520
<v Speaker 2>Was she when she was diagnosed?

0:07:18.680 --> 0:07:23.040
<v Speaker 3>She was fifty eight, if I'm not mistaken. When she

0:07:23.120 --> 0:07:25.920
<v Speaker 3>was diagnosed. She had me later in life.

0:07:26.200 --> 0:07:27.840
<v Speaker 2>I was going to say, my.

0:07:27.520 --> 0:07:32.080
<v Speaker 3>My, Yeah, wellow, good for moming much lighter.

0:07:32.600 --> 0:07:33.320
<v Speaker 2>Good for your mom.

0:07:33.360 --> 0:07:35.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry for your loss, but I bet that she

0:07:35.920 --> 0:07:38.960
<v Speaker 1>is so proud of you and looking over you and

0:07:39.000 --> 0:07:43.200
<v Speaker 1>watching out for you and opening doors for you and

0:07:43.280 --> 0:07:45.800
<v Speaker 1>blessing you. Even though you can't see her anymore.

0:07:46.960 --> 0:07:48.760
<v Speaker 3>I feel her with me every day.

0:07:49.920 --> 0:07:53.160
<v Speaker 1>I believe that the reason that my show finally became

0:07:53.240 --> 0:07:58.720
<v Speaker 1>successful after so many years of fighting is because because

0:07:58.720 --> 0:08:01.440
<v Speaker 1>my mom passed away when she was a year younger

0:08:01.440 --> 0:08:02.040
<v Speaker 1>than your mom.

0:08:02.160 --> 0:08:03.320
<v Speaker 2>And I believe.

0:08:03.040 --> 0:08:05.680
<v Speaker 1>That that she got to have it and said, okay, God,

0:08:05.720 --> 0:08:06.840
<v Speaker 1>we got to have a conversation.

0:08:08.760 --> 0:08:11.480
<v Speaker 3>I agree. You know, I went through a lot of

0:08:11.640 --> 0:08:15.560
<v Speaker 3>tough times after my mom passed away, but it was

0:08:15.600 --> 0:08:17.640
<v Speaker 3>like one day I just heard her speak to me

0:08:17.760 --> 0:08:20.240
<v Speaker 3>and say everything was going to be okay, and my

0:08:20.320 --> 0:08:22.080
<v Speaker 3>life's been on the up and out ever since.

0:08:22.400 --> 0:08:25.240
<v Speaker 1>Everything is going to be okay, and I will be

0:08:25.320 --> 0:08:27.000
<v Speaker 1>here to give you an audio hug.

0:08:27.120 --> 0:08:28.880
<v Speaker 2>How's that?

0:08:28.880 --> 0:08:29.440
<v Speaker 3>That's great?

0:08:29.680 --> 0:08:31.600
<v Speaker 2>All right, let me find a good song for Mama.

0:08:32.520 --> 0:08:34.000
<v Speaker 2>Thank you, God, bless honey.
