So down and Love Someone.

So down and Love Someone.

With Hello, my friend, and welcome to another edition of our podcast Loves Someone with Delilah. Normally, on these podcasts, I have been talking to people, interviewing people, some people who are very very famous, like writers and authors and actors and such, and some folks who aren't that famous, who are doing their part to change the world one heart at a time, because really that's what this podcast is all about. But today's podcast is a special edition celebrating the role of motherhood. You know, moms are kind of the unsung heroes of the world. They really are. Moms shape their children, who shape the world. So Mother's Day, this Mother's Day is coming up, and I've gotten so many calls, so many great calls from people who want to celebrate their mothers, the role their mother played in their life, or they want to celebrate their children and how being a mom has transformed them. We have a lot of people who call in who want to talk about birth moms and adoptive moms, being a birth mom, having the courage, because it takes a hell of a lot of courage, my friend, it takes so much courage to say I do not have the resources to raise this child that's growing in my womb. But I want this child to have life and to have it fully. And I am going to bless a family that cannot conceive with a child to love and raise. Takes a lot of courage to do that. So we talked to birth moms, We talked to adoptive moms, We talked to grandmoms who aren't just grandmom but are helping to raise their grandkids. And so for this addition of love someone with Delilah, We're going to honor mom. We are going to honor the women in your life who have made you a priority from day one. And I think this is especially fitting since my daughter, Sheila, became a mom this year. And this was a little girl that, for the last five or six years since she became an adult, said I don't want kids, don't even want to think about having kids. Not not for me. She honestly said, I am not cut out to make those kind of sacrifices. And then five days after she lost her brother, my son Zach, she found out she was pregnant. And let me tell you what a fabulous mother she is. Every fiber of her being cares for, loves and nurtures her daughter. My oldest daughter, Lannie, has been a mom, a single mom for many years because my granddaughter is seventeen and she is such a good mom, so dedicated. My son Isaiah, married a woman who together they have four biological children, and they are adopting a little boy out of foster care. My daughter in law is an amazing mother, amazing mother, so loving, so focused, so positive. She is fiercely committed to my son and their children. I am surrounded with really good moms. My mom was a really good mom who boy was she crazy, but she loved her four children with all of her being. She was larger than life in every way. And the impact she had on my life, my heart, and on the lives of so many others, not just her children, but so many others. No way to describe it, no words for it. So let's listen to some of the phone calls that we have picked out curated if you will, for this special edition of Love Someone with Delilah as we honor moms. In this podcast, David Skall speaks to his mother being a teacher and some of her lessons leading him to a profession that isn't all that common and David wants to brag about his mama, while Sondra is talking about the support her mom continues to provide, not just when she was little and mama was making peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, but now how her life is complete because her mom is there to help her parent her own children and be that motivating force. David, Hi, thank you for calling the Delilah Show. I understand that you have a pretty good relationship with your mama.

Well, briefly, when I first emailed about my mother, just testifying how awesome she is and what she does for me and my three children, you know, there's there's just not enough words to express how much she helps us. And you know myself, I'm a pastor, chaplain full time, mom, go to school part time I'm doing my master's trying to get it in divinity and all. This is possible because she helps while I, you know, go to school work and Pastor couldn't do it without her.

So you're a mom and a pastor going to hospitals, serving communions, saying prayers, meeting the emotional and spiritual need of a flock of people, and.

Yes, and you think your mom's amazing. I see, I couldn't do that because that peace and that grace that you're supposed to exemplify when you're in that position just wouldn't be there.

You know, just just thinking about what I would say to you. It was, you know, thinking about the patience that she has because I do have those days, and I have them quite often. But she just knows how to put things in perspective, you know, and organize you know, the home. She's an armor bearer, she's a you know, she's super.

These are such great examples, these phone calls and stories like David and Sondra of how the role of a mother may change over time. Once you graduate high school. That role changes as you into adulthood, but it doesn't end. Your mama doesn't stop being a mama when you turn eighteen or twenty one or thirty one, when you move to a dorm room, when you buy your first home. The role of your mom changes, but it never ends because mothering is endless. It's boundless, it's timeless. My next two callers are from different sides of the adoption triad. We call it a triad because there are three sides to the triad, the birth mom who carries the baby, the adoptive mom who is blessed to adopt the baby, and the actual adoptee, so we refer to it as the triad. These two callers are different sides of the same coin. Amanda and her brother were adopted at a very young age. She obviously realizes the strength and the courage her mother put forth to create the family of her dreams, while Heather, Heather made an unbelievable sacrifice when she realized she was not in a position to raise her newborn and chos instead to place that baby into the arms the home the hearts of others that she knew could provide her daughter with everything she could not. Mothering, you see, comes in all shapes and sizes and colors and forms.

Well, I'm for true reason.

Well, I'm for true reason.

First, I want to say thank you for all that you do. You're amazing. And the second reason I'm calling is because there's a special little girl in my heart tonight. And she just turned thirteen today, and she was very far away from me because I was young and I wanted her to have a better life than I could give her. So I put her out for adoption to a family who couldn't have kids, and she's just in my heart tonight. The God can just bridge the gap between hearts tonight.

Are you able to correspond or anything? Or will that wait until she's older?

I was at one point, and I think the situation changed when the was just a little too real for me, and so it's been closed for a while. But I believe that as I'm getting my life more on check, that God is going to present the opportunity where I can see her again and I can show her, Hey, you know, it's not that you weren't loved, sweetheart, It's just that I.

I am wonderful. What can I do for you?

I am wonderful. What can I do for you?

Well? I guess about two weeks ago I wrote a letter on your website and I had stated in the letter that I just wanted everybody to know about my mother. She passed away this past March. She was seventy three years old, and after raising six plus children by herself, with my father being active duty Navy and often gone six months at a time, she still managed to do quite a few things. She was a master at horseback riding. She owned her own doll factory with her own design. She was an accomplished real estate agent, very successful. And she was an award winning watercolor artist, of which she was only one of two people in history to have I've ever been given the right, the authority and commission to paid secretariat. But more than that, during my entire life and the lives of my five brothers and sisters, she always knew what had to wear and when to wear it. And I wanted to share that story with everybody.

Mothers are remarked. Being a mother is remarkable. It's exhausting, it's heartbreaking, it's frustrating. There is no such love as that of a mother. I can honestly say I did not get that. I did not understand it at all until September sixteenth, nineteen eighty four, when I became a mother. And that is when I began to comprehend just a tiny bit, how fiercely, how deeply my mother loved me and my siblings. I didn't get it. I was such an ungrateful brat to my mom. And then I had my son, and I went, oh, my gosh, this is how she feels for me. Mom's love one of the greatest gifts I've ever received. It's that love, of that foundation of love that created, that established the pattern for my whole life. It prepared me for the most difficult, most painful role I would ever take on the role of mothering. It's not easy, especially when you have unique children, special needs children, children who don't fit into the realm of being called typical. It's exhausting and a lot of times I feel like throwing up my hands and giving up. To all moms, I say thank you, thank you for bearing us, thank you for loving us, thank you for raising us, teaching us, championing us, giving of yourself and sacrificing more than you knew you were capable. Moms, You are are, yesterday, are today, and our future. Happy Mother's Day to all mothers and all single dads who are all mothers. I hope that you feel loved and honored this weekend and all the year through. I'm glad that you joined me on Love Someone for this special Mother's Day edition the special podcast as we wanted to honor mothers. We've had terrific guests. We are going to have a whole lot more terrific guests coming very soon. Oh my goodness, do we have some great podcasts lined up for you. So come back here, continue to download and listen to our podcast and of course join me every night on the radio and do me one favor. Take some time out of your busy schedule to slow down and love someone

To all moms, I say thank you, thank you for bearing us, thank you for loving us, thank you for raising us, teaching us, championing us, giving of yourself and sacrificing more than you knew you were capable. Moms, You are are, yesterday, are today, and our future. Happy Mother's Day to all mothers and all single dads who are all mothers. I hope that you feel loved and honored this weekend and all the year through. I'm glad that you joined me on Love Someone for this special Mother's Day edition the special podcast as we wanted to honor mothers. We've had terrific guests. We are going to have a whole lot more terrific guests coming very soon. Oh my goodness, do we have some great podcasts lined up for you. So come back here, continue to download and listen to our podcast and of course join me every night on the radio and do me one favor. Take some time out of your busy schedule to slow down and love someone
