(00:27):
and healing from above. It's the variety of callers and
stories that make this such a special place to share

this is Delilah. What can I do for you?
Speaker 2 (00:46):
I just wanted to take my mom and my older sister.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
So what do you want to tell me about the
women in your life?
Speaker 3 (00:53):
My mom, she's been there for me a lot, and
she's just like a loving person. You guys got to
be there for you and your sister. Yeah, my sister,
she's a good person to talk to you because we
can really relate to each other in situations, and she
hears me of good advice when I need it. So
and I like to like go to them both and
(01:14):
I need help.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Charlotte, how old are you?
Speaker 4 (01:16):
I'm fourteen?
Speaker 1 (01:18):
And you love and respect your older sister and your mom,
and you listen to them and you take their advice
and direction. Yeah, would you talk to my fifteen year
old please who because I sure wish that were the case.
I will play a sweet song for your whole family.
(01:39):
You sound like such a wonderful young lady, and it's
no surprise given the amazing women that are your mentors.
Thank you, Thank you, have a great night. Thank you
for calling you too. Bye bye? Hi Greg, how are
(02:01):
you this evening?
Speaker 2 (02:03):
I'm doing fine. I'm having a wonderful day, and I'm
missing a very special lady friend of mine.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
Who is this lady friend you're missing? And how can
I bridge the distance?
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Her name is Kelly, and we have both been through
a lot in life, and we actually only began spending
time together and talking five or six months ago, and
we are first and foremost friends, and that we have
(02:34):
both discussed is more important actually than romance right now
in our lives, and I cherish her friendship greatly. She
has helped me get through the aftermath of two very
severe losses in my life. My son died unexpectedly of
a drug overdose three and a half years ago, and
my wife died after a four year battle with pancreatic cancer.
(02:58):
Well was three years ago past Saturday that she died,
and Kelly has just been a wonderful friend, and I
just I want her to know that. But she has
her own interests, her own life, and she has her
own family and grandchildren, and so do I. But we're
just She's just a very special lady.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Sounds like a total gift from above to help you
through all that time.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Absolutely. In fact, I kind of long story, but I
caught a glimpse of her in a dream after I
prayed to the Lord about a number of things, and
the next day she came and sat down at a
church bench right in front of I mean, I realized, well,
(03:45):
we really do need to be talking, and we have
ever since so and I shared that with her recently.
And she's just a very special lady. I don't know
what the Lord has in mind for my future or hers,
but I'm just so blas us to be a friend
of hers.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Sounds to me like God knew exactly who you needed
at the moment you needed her, and even gave you
a little preview of the goodness to come. And I
pray your friendship last for all eternity, I hope. So.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
I don't know what else will develop from this friendship,
but I cherish it very very much.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
All right, I will play a sweet song for Kelly,
and I am so sorry for all your loss. I
pray God heals your heart.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Thank you very much, and thank you for all you
do for everybody.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Stacy, Happy summer. What can I do to make your
summer night a little brighter?
Speaker 4 (04:53):
I would like to play a song for a really
good friend of mine. We've known each other since nineteen
eighty nine, so thirty five years. He went off and
I went my separate way and he went his, and
it's one of those you should have and you regret
(05:16):
not getting together with them, and we both realized that now.
So but I just want him to know that I'm
thinking about him.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
You're both single, you're not married to other people.
Speaker 4 (05:28):
No, we both have other people, and we are just
still good friends.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
So oh no, no, no, this is playing with fire girlfriend,
you know that, right, No.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
No, we both know that we've got our own life.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
So then why are you grinning when you think about him?
Speaker 4 (05:50):
Well, like I said, we've both known each other since,
you know, thirty five years, and that's a long.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Time, a very long time to be friends. But the
grin in your and your voice sounds like there's still
like other feelings there besides friends.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
No, no, we both know that, you know, we've got
our own lives and so we'll always be friends no
matter what.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Okay, all right, I just don't want to go, you know,
contributing to a forest fire here, that's all.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
Oh no, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Okay, okay, all right. In that case, let me find
a great friendship song for you.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
All right. It sounds good.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Thank you so much, Thank you. You have a fun summer. Hi,
good evening. Welcome to the Delilah Show. Who's on the
phone line with me? Hi?
Speaker 3 (06:47):
This is Hope.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Hi, Hope, what a sweet name? What can I do
for you? How can I bring more hope into your
summer night?
Speaker 3 (06:57):
Okay? Well, three years ago, this coming Sunday Father's Day,
I lost my husband of twenty seven years to COVID.
He was only forty nine years old. And it's been
a rough three years, very rough th years. And I
(07:17):
have found a friend who just lost her husband. We've
been friends for many years, but she lost her husband
back in September to cancer, and I have moved in
with her and she has just been such a tremendous
help to me.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
So two friends share a common grief or sorrow, and
you are now roommates to help each other through the grief,
but also maybe to enjoy life together as besties.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
Yes, yes, you're right.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
What are some of the things that you girls are
hoping to do this summer? I know your heart's a heavy,
but have you made any camping plans or barbecue or
trips to Yellowstone?
Speaker 4 (08:07):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (08:08):
We have made some camping plans. And she also owns
a boat, so we've made some boating plans and we
want to do, you know, some beach trips and stuff
like that this summer.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
What a sweet gift. I know you both have broken hearts,
but what a sweet gift God has given you in
each other and in this season of your life.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
I do agree. I mean, we've been friends for many years,
many years, but now we shared this in common, which
has just made our friendship so much stronger.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
What's your friend's name, Hope? Beth? All right, you and
Beth be sure and take your sunbonnets and your life
jackets out on the boat and go enjoy this season
of life and all the blessings God is giving you.
