| Hi Mrs. Delilah,
My name is Trenton. My daddy is helping me write you. I am 4 and a half. I want to tell you about my mommy. Her name is Michelle. She is beautiful and very nice. She always encourages me to do my very best at everything. She kisses me when I get hurt and coaches my T-ball team. She can’t cook very good but she tries. But she loves me and my baby brother very much. His name is Cameron, he’s 10 months old. She loves my daddy too his name is Jordan. My mommy listens to your radio a lot. She sings with all the songs. She sings really good. I love my mommy so much and want her to have a very happy Mother’s Day. Thank you, Mrs. Delilah, I love your radio. Love, Trenton P.s. that’s me. my baby brother, and my mommy

Dearest Delilah,
My Mom was a young mother at 17, almost 18 years old. I was her first, born 2 weeks before her 18th Birthday. She went on to have 3 more girls in the next 10 years. She always kept a very clean and tidy home, made the best meals I have ever eaten, told the most interesting nighttime stories, one year she even read The Bible to us. She read the whole Bible. It was so funny hearing her trying to pronounce the old names correctly. We had a pretty good life, always felt loved and that we were never doing without. She became a widow at 42 years old; she still had three children at home, the youngest was 14. My Mom always stood by us and tried to show us right from wrong. Her favorite sayings “you will catch more bees with honey”, “kill them with kindness”, “if they are talking about you, they are leaving someone alone, who cannot handle it, you can handle it”, “your smile is your most important accessory” “ love you, hon” and my best advice “go to work and do your best, you never know, what it will lead you to”! She always has a smile and a kind word for everyone she meets. Even the wrong number, pizza delivery man, mailman, etc., all get to hear Love you, Hon! My Mom is 74 years old, still works and is a caregiver to her older sister, our beloved Auntcy. Auntcy will be 88 years old on May 8th! We are so blessed in our family to have our Mother and Auntcy. It would be an honor for her to receive a gift from you! Thank You for the opportunity, Delilah! Wishing you a very happy and blessed Mother’s Day! Take Care and Thank You for all your hours on the radio! Regards, Terri |
