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. Yesterday, I was
talking with a friend about the fact that we have phrases,
(00:26):
we have words or sentences that we can say to
one another, and we know the whole story. We don't
have to explain it. We know exactly what we're thinking,
exactly what we're meaning. Because we've known each other so long,
we can finish each other's sentences. When you love someone
(00:49):
and you've developed a language that you two understand, When
you love someone and you've developed jokes that only you
two get, and you don't care that nobody else does. Ah,
there's nothing sweeter in the world than having that person
(01:10):
that shares a part of your soul. If you are
blessed with one or two friends like that, let me
tell you are the richest person in the universe.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Hi, good evening. Who's this?
Speaker 3 (01:25):
This is Doug.
Speaker 4 (01:26):
Doug.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
What can I do to make your night a little
more special?
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Well?
Speaker 3 (01:30):
I have a person I know, a friend of mine
kind of been seeing her off and on for the
past six years. She just got her first teaching job
and I was having a little bit of a rough
time getting started with it, and I just wanted to
let her.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Know that I was there for What great is she teaching?
Speaker 3 (01:50):
She is teaching early childhood special education.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
So she's got a whole lot of special needs kids
on her hands with challenges, and each one with their
own set of issues, and she's got to figure out
how to structure.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
That she does. She does. She does such a good job, though,
and she just doesn't realize it. And I've been really
trying to help her with that and just do whatever
I can to help make it easier for her.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
And what's your friend's name.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
Don My friend's name is Brenda.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
So is Brenda just a buddy friend? Or is Brenda
a friend that makes your heart go pitter pat, pitter pat.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
She's We've got quite a bit of history, and some
of us good, not all of it. But the important
thing is is that we're there for each other now.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
So a song to let Brenda know that you there.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
You love her, you support her, you encourage her, and
by the way, you still make my heart race every time.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
I think about you. Absolutely, And are you driving tonight?
It sounds like you're in your car.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
I'm on my way to see her.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
She say no, say no more dog.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Yeah, she needs you to go help sharpen her pencils. Yeah,
get her color crayons lined up.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
Absolutely.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Yeah that's the story.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Let me see what I can do to help set
your night to music?
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Thank you?
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Are you taking the teacher and apple?
Speaker 3 (03:22):
I thought about it. I was going to bring flowers.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
There you go.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
That'll probably that'll probably even make her smile broader.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
All right, you have a good night. Hi Carolyn, welcome.
What can I do for you?
Speaker 5 (03:41):
Okay? So my friend George, he's he's thirty one years
old and he's just a blessing that came to me.
I met him through my cousin and I don't know
what to tell you about him except that I went
through a lot of things in my life and he
was always there for me. He's a kind of friend
(04:01):
that would come up to you and he wouldn't ask
you if you need anything. He just looks around to
see if there are things that need to be done
and says, I'll be there on Wednesday to do that.
And that was really helpful to me after a cancer
surgery that I had.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
So he's a kind of friend that's there for you
when you're going through tough times and good times.
Speaker 5 (04:20):
Oh absolutely, And he's one of the most wonderful people
that I've ever known. And I would like to also
congratulate him because he just met the girl of his dreams.
After many years of wanting to get married, he met
his dear love, Robin, and I'm sure they're going to
be getting married before too long. And I'm just real
(04:40):
happy for him, even though I miss him because he's
moving away. I'm actually a lot older than he is.
I'm about his mom's age. But he's just a great guy,
just a wonderful person, and it's wonderful to have people
like that in your life.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
I think that one of the greatest blessings I know,
the greatest blessing God has given me out side of
my children, is the love that I share with my friends.
It's great when you've got a friend like that that
loves you unconditionally, that knows you, that believes in you
you can make it through anything.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
That's absolutely the truth. And that's we hit it off
from day one and became just the best of friends.
Even though there's a huge age difference, and you know,
but what a blessing you said it? Well, somebody who
knows you and sticks by you no matter what.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
That unconditional love of a friend is. It's what sustains this,
isn't it?
Speaker 5 (05:38):
Absolutely?
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Let me find a song for your friend, George. I'm
glad you're blessed with such a friend.
Speaker 5 (05:43):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Hi, Donnie, this is Delilah. What can I do for you?
Speaker 4 (05:58):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (05:59):
Would you do me? Play a song for me? Because
I'm broken? Hearder? Because I've lost a friend that was real?
Dear to me?
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Who are you missing tonight? Donnie?
Speaker 6 (06:09):
His name is Armond?
Speaker 2 (06:11):
And what happened to Armond?
Speaker 6 (06:13):
He got frustrated in I guess it's a whole situation
that walked away.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Have you called him and said can we talk? Can
we sit down and talk?
Speaker 6 (06:22):
I tried to, and he said he didn't want to
talk about it, So he just walked away. And I've
done nothing but cry about it.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
And how long ago did he walk away from your friendship?
Speaker 6 (06:33):
Just today?
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Oh? Okay?
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Well, then I'd let him have a day or two
to cool off, and then I would say can we
sit down and talk? I say things in anger that
I regret, and so if you just give me time
to calm down. It's a much better ending than if
you keep pushing me when I'm mad and grumpy and frustrated.
Speaker 6 (06:54):
Yes, ma'am, I appreciate that. And I'm like that lady
that called in earlier that that well, really that she
really enjoyed your show. Your show really means a lot
to me too.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Well, thank you, thank you for saying that. And I'm
going to say a prayer that you two friends are
able to work this out, because you know what a
friend like that, a good friend that you can turn to,
especially in a loss of your spouse, That's that's what
makes that's what makes life worth living. And so I'm
going to pray you guys are able to work it out.
(07:28):
No more tears, just give it a day, let him,
let him calm down, and then just sit down and
talk it through.
Speaker 6 (07:35):
I will. I'll do just that. But if you'll play
me a song, i'd appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
I will play you a great song about endearing friendship.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Rachel. Welcome, you've called the Delilah Show. What can I
do for you?
Speaker 3 (07:53):
Hi? Dalilah?
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Hi?
Speaker 4 (07:55):
I wanted to tell you by my best friend Jessica. Okay,
I will in a different part of the country than
she does now. She got married to me two years ago.
I haven't seen her since her wedding. We've been best
friends for twelve years. She is the one person that
I can tell anything to. And it's like the sister
I never had. And it's been really hard and she's
(08:17):
been gone.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
I bet your heart is breaking into a million pieces
every day missing her.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
It is, and today's her birthday, and I just wish
I could be with her and we could just run
around and like we did when we were in high
school and just be silly and have fun. And she
was kind of depressed because she doesn't want anybody where
she lives yet. And I'm so far away. And we
talk every day and we talk on the computer and
some pictures that and forth, and we're like, we're probably
(08:42):
closer now than we ever have been.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
But what you would give to just huger and tell
her you love her.
Speaker 5 (08:47):
I would.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
It's unbelievable and really strange. Thing that about us is
we had a big fight about six years ago and
didn't talk for a year, and finally I bet the
and called her mom's house where she was living, and
I asked for Jessica, and she's like, she's here, she's
taking care of the baby. She just had a baby
four weeks ago, and I did too. I had a
(09:12):
baby four months ago. Turned out we.
Speaker 5 (09:14):
Both had girls.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
We're both pregnant at the same time, and we didn't
know that either one of us were pregnant, and it's
just unbelievable how it worked out. And we talked for
hours that night. It was just like no time had passed,
and ever since then we have been closer than ever.
Yet we're so far apart from each other. And it
hurts me so much that our kids she has two now.
(09:37):
It hurts me so much that our kids can't see
each other and can't grow up together because I fell
We ever wanted for our kids was to be close
and almost like it was the kind of family. I
just missed her so much.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
I so hope you have enjoyed these radio moments as
much as I enjoyed bringing them to you.
