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. Through through the
good times, through the tough times, through the storms of life,
(00:23):
the difficult times, there have always been those folks who
are always there for me. My best friends from childhood,
my family, the people that have believed in me and
helped me to understand how infinitely rich and beautiful life is,
(00:44):
how precious and joyful life is.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
Thank you to the people who are there for their besties,
who are there for their brother or their sister, their
son or daughter. If there is somebody who is in
packeded your life in a positive way, right now, take
out your phone, send a simple text that says, thank you,
thank you for believing in me, thank you for loving
(01:10):
me unconditionally, thank you for supporting me. Thank you for
loving me even when I did really terrible things. Thank you, Kyle. Hi,
welcome aboard. How are you tonight? Hi?
Speaker 3 (01:28):
Am a great Thank you very much.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Who do I hear call her and dad in the background?
Speaker 3 (01:32):
Those are the neighborhood kids. And I had to step
outside of my house because the phone was breaking up.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
So are you the neighborhood dad? Does everybody know you
on the block.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Everybody knows me on the block. They know my children
on the block. I spend just about as much time
watching everybody else's kids as I do my own.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
And you were telling me you were a single custodial
dad with your son.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
What's his name?
Speaker 3 (01:55):
His name is Cale?
Speaker 2 (01:57):
And how old is Cale? His name is Cale? And
your name is Kyle.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Does that get a little confusing?
Speaker 3 (02:05):
It does for everybody. He's got a little brother named Kate,
and a little sister named Kimsey, and another little sister
named Kayla. I had a little sister named Taylor.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Now that would be that would just undo me, because
you know, I stutter and stumble enough when I'm mad
at the kids trying to figure out which one.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
I'm hollering at.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Oh yeah, I do saying.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
I go through the whole line. But that would just
be too confusing. So you're a single custodial dad with
your son?
Speaker 3 (02:29):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (02:30):
And what do you want to tell me about this
amazing young man?
Speaker 3 (02:33):
I told myself that you know, if you guys actually called, you.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Weren't going to cry, You weren't going to get choked up.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
You were going to be a tough guy, that's right,
but you're talking about your babies, and it's kind of
tough to keep that facade up when I know and
you know you love him with all your heart and
all your life.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
He does everything to try to please me, and most importantly,
he does everything because he thinks it's the right thing
to do. He's not a very big kid at all,
but he's one of those kids that he's got the
heart of lying. If someone you know is picking on
someone else, he will stand up for that person, no matter,
(03:10):
no matter. You know what.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Happens, and what song do you do? You want me
to find a song for him?
Speaker 3 (03:14):
Delilah, please find a song for him?
Speaker 4 (03:17):
Please?
Speaker 2 (03:18):
All right, you have a good night.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Hi, thank you for your patience. Welcome to the Delilah Show.
Speaker 5 (03:32):
Who is this?
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Hi? My name is Missall and I'm calling for my
son Joseph. Hi, Hi, Joseph. I thank you for listening
to my music all the time. Joseph, tell your mom
I can understand you.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Just fine. Great, Okay, So who do you want to dedicate?
Speaker 5 (03:57):
Thank you Grandma?
Speaker 2 (04:00):
She's way you lost your grandma? When did you lose
your grandma.
Speaker 5 (04:06):
Yeah, now about a week ago.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
How old are you, Joseph?
Speaker 6 (04:13):
Are he's twenty five?
Speaker 2 (04:17):
And are you? Are you a good kid for mom?
Or do you give her a hard time?
Speaker 1 (04:22):
I'm a good kid.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
You're a good kid. I bet you have a huge heart, Joseph,
I do.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
I have a few friends that have cerebral palsy, and
they are I don't know. It's like God gave them
an extra measure of goodness in their heart. But I've also, Joseph,
I've also noticed that all my friends who have cerebral
palsy also have an extra measure of stubbornness.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
You're not a little stubborn, are you?
Speaker 4 (04:54):
Oh? No, not at all?
Speaker 2 (04:55):
No, no, not at all.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
I heard jingle?
Speaker 2 (05:01):
You like your jingle?
Speaker 5 (05:02):
Guys sheep a want ye? I am oh j justin
every time?
Speaker 4 (05:08):
Good mom.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
He listens to you every time, and ie when we
try to get them to sleep, because the other hard
time sleeping, we put you on. All right, I will
play a song to honor your grandma. Thank you for calling,
young man. I appreciate your kind words.
Speaker 4 (05:25):
Welcome.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Thanks for taking our.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Call, Michelle. You have a wonderful night. God bless you, God,
bless you too. Bye bye bye.
Speaker 5 (05:45):
Hi Joyce, thank you for calling, Oh, thank you.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
What can I do for you?
Speaker 4 (05:50):
Well, I'd just like to have a song for my
husband because he's been so good to me. And we've
been married twenty one years and we've both were divorced
and remarried, and he's been through with me with so
much sickness.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
So he's loved you in sickness and in house.
Speaker 5 (06:09):
Right through it all.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
Yes, yes, he sure has. And all the girls like
me that were divorced. My grandmother told me once and
they told me to tell you this, The man you
marry isn't the one that you divorced.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Ain't that the truth?
Speaker 4 (06:29):
That's right?
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Hey, that the truth.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
The man I married was so cute and so sweet
and young and funny and fun and that was not
who I divorced.
Speaker 4 (06:40):
That's right. And uh, that's the way it is, because
I know that the one that I divorced wouldn't have
put up with me like he has. He's God sent
to me because I was divorced over twenty years before
I met him.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Wow, and you've been married twenty one years.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
Right, And I worked in the nursing home and he
volunteered there and that's how we met.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
So he's got a good and compassionate heart.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
That's true.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
You have a good night and.
Speaker 4 (07:10):
YouTube thanks for taking my call.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Hi, good evening. Who's this?
Speaker 5 (07:20):
This is Tia Tya.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
What can I do for you?
Speaker 6 (07:22):
Well, I wanted to talk to you about my mom.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Okay, tell me about your mama.
Speaker 6 (07:26):
Well, my mom died last November, but she is very
special to me, and I got to thinking about her
because I was dropped off at her doorstep with my
brother and my sister to spend the night and she
was going to be a foster parent, just for the night.
And the next morning I woke up and I was
seven years old and she had stayed up all night
(07:47):
and made me a birthday cake. It's the first birthday
cake I'd ever had, and so I was really thinking
about her, and she adopted me. They kept us until
we were eighteen, and I was adopted when I was
twenty four.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Okay, so you were dropped off the night before you
turned seven, Uh huh, And you thought at the time
it was a temporary placement for the night while somebody
dealt with some issues and came back to get you.
Speaker 6 (08:11):
Yes, my brother and my sister and I. She kept
us until we were.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Eighteen and then where did you go?
Speaker 6 (08:16):
And we went to college?
Speaker 1 (08:18):
So she, even though you weren't living under her roof,
you were still her daughter.
Speaker 6 (08:21):
Yes, oh yeah, we lived with her until we were eighteen, and.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Then you went off to college, and when you were
twenty four, finally the adoption could be finalized.
Speaker 5 (08:30):
Oh my word.
Speaker 6 (08:31):
Uh huh.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
So I guess God had a different plan than the
one that was originally put in place.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
To spend one night.
Speaker 6 (08:38):
Exactly, I was very thanking. I look back now, she
had three of her own. My brother was five, I
was turning seven, and my sister was eight, and she
had a six, a four, and a three year old
of her own.
Speaker 5 (08:50):
Now was she related to your birth family or no?
Speaker 6 (08:54):
Not at all?
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Oh man, God bless her. What was your mama's name, Barbara?
I will play a song to honor her. Thank you,
and have a great birthday.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
I so hope you have enjoyed these radio moments as
much as I enjoy bringing them to you.
