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. So what in
the world is going on in your world? Is there
(00:23):
good things happening? Are you celebrating something wonderful? Are you
excited for the future? Are you a little overwhelmed right now?
Afraid because things are not going the way you had planned.
Talk to a young woman earlier who just found out
she's pregnant, and the baby's father, as soon as he
(00:46):
found out, ran the other direction, and she's so excited
about the life she's carrying, but so scared about what
the future might hold. If you're feeling that tonight, excited
on some level, but so filled with trepidation, Remember this
(01:07):
God is already in the future. He's gone ahead of you,
already there preparing the way, and things are going to
work out. I have a sign coming down my driveway.
My friend Tim made it out of wood and it's
nailed on a tree. It says, in the end, everything
will be okay. If it's not okay, it's.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Not the end.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Thank you for your patience. Welcome to the Delilah Show.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Who is this my name is Jose.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Who are you thinking of tonight? Jose?
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Her name is Rosa, And it goes back to we
dated twenty plus years ago. Fast forward, we both got married,
she got the boys, I got married, and four years
down the road reconnected. I'm in the process of taking
that step of leaving bomb relationship and so hopefully continues
(02:01):
something that I started with her twenty plus years ago.
I've realized that she is the love of my life
and the true woman that I love.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
Wow, And does she feel the same way.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Yes. We have exchange words, deep honesty, and for the
past four years she's still been single and shown to
me a lot.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
So does the person that you're with know that your
heart belongs to another?
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Yes, I've told her. I told her we let's move on.
Unfortunately we have kids, but life goes on, and I've
gotten to the point of my life where I need
to be happy as well to have a healthy relationship
with my kids.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
How old are your kids?
Speaker 2 (02:48):
One is seven and the other one is five?
Speaker 1 (02:51):
And do you think that a well life life moves on?
Dad moving away and not being here is going to
be what's best for them.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
I've always been there for my kids, I've always been
that father that I was always been there for my
kids no matter what. I go to their school activities.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
I didn't say that. I said, I'm talking about when
they wake up in the morning and you're not there.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
You're right, but unfortunately you look for also what's best
for you to provide them a better future.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Okay, I'm not disagreeing with you. I'm not arguing with you.
I just you. You said, you know, life moves on,
Like you know, there are some situations where you change
jobs or you move out of town and move to
a different town, but when there's kids involved, it's not
you know, life moves on.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
You know that you're right, and it's the urbage that
I use. I was wrong, but you know, in order
for me to in order for me to give them
a healthy, happy home, I have to be happy as well.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
So were you? Were you not happy with their mom?
Speaker 2 (03:57):
I think went down south. It was a relationship that
I've never truly loved. It's a relationship that you know,
we had kids and I just assumed the responsibility.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
So if the ex hadn't come back into the picture,
would you have described your relationship with their mom as
not salvageable.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
I would still be of the in the same position. Okay,
I've been to counseling. I've been too.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
So the marriage isn't ended and the family isn't broken
up because you're in love with the ex. It's it
was just not a good relationship because.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
I'm in love with the ex, but I no longer
have feelings for someone else. Okay, it doesn't have to
be the ex, doesn't have to be the ex. It's
just I found myself and I found that I'm not
happy anymore. And then in order to love somebody, you
got to be happy yourself first. And it's selfish to
stay for just your kids.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
So when are you. You've moved out of your wife's
house and you're talking to the X. But you guys
haven't started seeing each other again or you have?
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Oh we haven't. You know, we just talked and actually
we put this on hold for a while. Some house
and way life returns us back together, some houseome way,
the universe coin spies to us to talk again, you know,
changes events and some house, some way we just connect
(05:29):
without looking for each other.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
And what song can I play for you?
Speaker 2 (05:34):
If you could play Starship? Nothing's going to stop us.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
I am happy to hear that you are there for
your kids, and please, I'm sure I sounded harsh. I'm
sorry for that.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
It's okay, it's okay. It's tough. Love.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Well, the way you spoke it like you said you misspoke.
It sounded like you were like, oh, well, I got
to be happy forget about the kids, And that's not
what you were saying at all. And I apologize for that.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
It's okay, but it's not. It's not it's not that
I know sometimes the herbage is not correct. And honestly,
I'm kind of nervous here talking to you, you know, I
feel like I'm talking to mom.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Well, I had to leave. I had to leave a
marriage and we had children together, we had birth children
together and adopted children together, and I had to leave
that marriage or I was going to lose my mind.
So I totally agree that if you're in an unhealthy situation.
(06:35):
As much as you love your kids, you still can't
be in that unhealthy situation.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
Right. Thank you for your words of wisdom, and I
hope I don't get judge any other way. No.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Yeah, if you're being a good dad and you're there
for your kids and you're showing up and you're loving
them and you're taking care of their emotions. My hat
is off to you.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
That's all I live for. I live for my all.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Right, thank you for God bless you. Hi, good evening.

I've just recently been divorced after thirty two and a
half years of marriage, after how many thirty two and
a half?
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Oh my word, Yes, I.

I ever dated.

You don't even sound like you're thirty two years old.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
This term fifty a couple months ago. And I have
four children thirty one. I'm down to twenty five and
seven grandchildren. Due to the circumstances I saw, they had
no choice but to get the divorce and leave my
hometown and leave my children and my grandchildren. So I
love dearly, and there's a lot of hard feelings over that.
(08:12):
It's difficult to try to talk with them. They've they're
hurt right now, They've blacked my calls and it's.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
All of them.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Yes, wow. And it's a sad situation because I love
them with all my heart and I still love my
ex husband. And it is a difficult situation when you
you know, your whole life has been with you know,
just one group of people like that. But I do
want them to know. I know a couple of my
children listen to your show, and I do want them
(08:41):
to know that I do still love them with all
my heart.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
So what did you take up with? Like a motorcycle
gang and some guy named Thor And they've.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
Just I No, I didn't my husband. My husband was
the one that seemed to have the problem. And do
the fact that under the circumstances there was another person
involved and it was right in my very small hometown.
I felt that I couldn't stay there anymore. I do
want to get, you know, back together with my family.
I mean that was my whole life. They were my
(09:10):
whole life.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
