Speaker 1 (00:02):
Hey, it's Delilah. Thank you for stopping by. I have
put together some of my favorite radio moments here to
share with you on our daily podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
You know, sometimes we all struggle in our lives with
any number of things. You got to remember there's always
going to be challenges in life. There are always going
to be mountains in front of you. And you can
either look at those mountains as unfair obstacles put in
front of you to make your life miserable, or you
(00:38):
can see them as opportunities to grow and stretch and
learn and climb to the highest heights to see the
most amazing views, to rejoice in the talents and the
abilities that you've been given, to figure out how to
overcome those challenges.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Hi, good evening. You've called the Delia Show. Who is this?
Speaker 3 (01:02):
Hi, Delilah. This says you're once a year call from
your friend Aiden and cornballis he's sitting here with me.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Hi, Aiden, welcome back. How are you doing? How's college?
Speaker 3 (01:16):
He's in what they call it adult transition program, So
he does that from age eighteen to twenty two, and
then they'll work on like skills and stuff for placement
with kids with.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Disabilities and has he made some good friends?
Speaker 4 (01:31):
Oh have you? Eh?
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Yeah? And any cute girls.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
I think it's his red hair and is dimple that
they all like him a lot. But he's not special
on anybody.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
It doesn't have anyone he's sweet on yet.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
No, he has his best friend. Actually one of his
best friends, Beverly, is ninety years old. But that's just
a friendship.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
Yeah. No, I'm thinking there's probably a couple of young
women now program that's sweet on him.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
And so Aiden is going to tell you about he
has a couple of internships for job preparation.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
What are we interning? What are we learning about? Job wise?
Speaker 3 (02:18):
There's a place called the Arc, which is a trip
shop that supports disabled people in the county, and he
helps some price books and put him on the sholf.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
So getting some independent living skills there.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
And then his other one because of the police station.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Oh that's exciting. So busy, busy, busy.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
So actually we just wanted to make it a quick
call because he's got to help mom get his lunch
together for tomorrow and then we're just going to go
off to bed and read. We're reading through The Lord
of the Rings right now.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Well, have a wonderful night. God bless you. It's good
to hear from you. Thank you all right, bye bye.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Hi Kim, thank you for calling. Tell me who's on
your heart tonight?
Speaker 4 (03:12):
My husband Mark.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Tell me about Mark.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
Oh, he's awesome. We have known each other, oh, I
guess about twenty two years. We've been together for fourteen.
He is disabled. He has heart and lung disease. He
stays home and manages everything at home for me so
that I can go to work and do the things
(03:39):
that I need to do for our family. We have
a mother in law's quarters that we built on our home,
and my mom came to live with us about a
year ago. She was diagnosed with cancer and things are
pretty bad and he took that onto. So he not
only does kids, the cookie, takes care of my mom
during the day, does it all. Delilah.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
What's his name?
Speaker 4 (04:02):
His name is Mark?
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Okay, tonight, Well, Mark's getting, you know, ready to retire
for the evening. Would you look on his back and
see if he's got small wings.
Speaker 5 (04:11):
That are protruding.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
I know he does because he sounds like an angel.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
He is.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
He takes care of the house, He manages your home.
He cares for your children, and he's taking care of
your ailing mother. Yes, all of this when he has
poor health himself.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
You got it? Wow what I said.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
And he's a positive person that kisses your face and
tells you he adores you.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
Oh, yes, every day. I love you. So that's the
last thing I hear before I walk out the door.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
And what do you want to hear tonight from Mark?
Speaker 4 (04:39):
Oh? I want you to pick something very special for
the both of us.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
I will do that and I will just tell him
thank you, thank you, thank you for you such an
amazing man.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
Thank you, Delilah.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
You are very blessed.
Speaker 4 (04:50):
Have a good night.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Hi, good evening, Welcome to the Delilah Show. Corey. What
can I do for you?
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Hi?
Speaker 5 (05:05):
I am calling about my job. Background on me. I
grew up, you know, from a family that didn't have
you know, a lot of money or anything, and it
was you know, always a very hard time, you know,
trying to make ends meet. And I was one of
those kids that got made fun of in school and everything.
(05:25):
And what I've chosen to do with my life is,
you know, to help other kids in similar situations. And
I now have a full time job working with developmentally
disabled individuals, and I mean any kind of mental disorder
you can think of. You know, I've probably got someone
I work with at Hazard, and I see a lot
(05:47):
of underprivileged children that odds are against them, and it's
heartbreaking to see the struggles they have to deal with
in life. And know how fortunate that I am, you know,
even after the way I grew up. And I just,
you know, want to have you play a song for
(06:07):
you know, just letting anybody know that thinks that they
can't that it's always possible, because I've seen children who
have mental barriers they were born with, who have just
made some incredible accomplishments and made their dreams come true
to the best of their ability.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
And what song do you want to hear for all
those special kids tonight?
Speaker 5 (06:30):
I think I heard you say earlier about being the
queen of picking out the perfect song, and I have
heard you do it numerous times, and I know that
You've got something out there that you can find. So
I'll leave that up to you tonight.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
All right, I'll find a great song.
Speaker 5 (06:46):
For you, all right, Thank you so much.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
John Reese wrote to me and said, my son Jimmy
is a big fan of your show, Deliana. He's a
young adult. He's disabled with cerebral palsy. He's never been
able to walk or communicate effectively. Doctors were not sure
if he would survive his premie birth. He was seven
weeks early. His mother, Mary was strong, and so was
(07:15):
Jimmy's father, Pete. Fifteen years ago, Jimmy's dad passed away
and Mary thought it was just she and Jimmy from
that point forward. Then one fall day, I met Mary
and it was love at first sight. I thought my
dream of happiness and love was coming true. Soon after
we met, Mary asked me to meet her son. With
(07:39):
trepidation that evening I met Jimmy, but that evening will
forever be treasured in my heart. I walked into Mary's
home and there, setting in his wheelchair, was the most
handsome angel I'd ever seen. From the moment I met him,
I knew that I wanted to help, to care for,
and do anything I could for this young man. Over
(07:59):
the next year, we grew together as a family, and
we all knew that the three of us were meant
to be. Mary and I were married five days after Christmas,
and now fifteen years later, our family is inseparable. We
love each other. Although I'm not Jimmy's birth father, I
am his dad and I thank God for this blessing.
Thank you for allowing me a place to share our
(08:21):
story From John. I so hope you have enjoyed these
radio moments as much as I enjoy bringing them to you.
