Let's first 16 00:00:48.600 --> 00:00:51.920 hear from Kathy in Anaheim. Kathy, how are you tonight? 17 00:00:53.600 --> 00:00:53.960 Good mo? 18 00:00:54.200 --> 00:00:55.200 Thank you for doing this. 19 00:00:55.560 --> 00:00:56.079 Absolutely. 20 00:00:57.560 --> 00:01:01.840 My mom's been gone ten years now and I miss 21 00:01:01.920 --> 00:01:06.760 her terribly. She was a little Italian American woman, the 22 00:01:06.799 --> 00:01:11.200 only member of her family born here, and so I 23 00:01:11.239 --> 00:01:16.200 got a very rich heritage from that, especially you know, 24 00:01:16.359 --> 00:01:18.760 her parents left a life of affluence to get away 25 00:01:18.760 --> 00:01:23.319 from Mussolini and I've been dealing for the last couple 26 00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:26.120 of years with cancer, and I know my mom would 27 00:01:26.159 --> 00:01:29.079 be hollering at me to take care of myself and 28 00:01:29.120 --> 00:01:32.680 hollering at everybody to help me out. Yeah, and I 29 00:01:32.760 --> 00:01:35.400 was really missing her. And one night I had a 30 00:01:35.480 --> 00:01:38.719 dream where I was back in the childhood of my 31 00:01:39.200 --> 00:01:44.319 kitchen childhood, and I could smell her homemade pasta sauce 32 00:01:44.840 --> 00:01:49.719 with sweet Italian sausage, and it felt so comforting, because 33 00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:52.480 you know, nobody can do a home cooked meal like 34 00:01:52.519 --> 00:01:52.959 your mom. 35 00:01:52.959 --> 00:01:54.879 Am I right, Oh, you're not wrong. 36 00:01:54.920 --> 00:01:57.840 In fact, I was going to ask you about any 37 00:01:57.879 --> 00:02:01.000 particular dish that she would make or that you miss 38 00:02:01.239 --> 00:02:03.640 and you beat me to it. There is something about 39 00:02:03.959 --> 00:02:07.120 Mom's cooking, and it's more than just the dish. It's 40 00:02:07.159 --> 00:02:09.560 about the love that's connected to the dish and the 41 00:02:09.719 --> 00:02:13.199 memories connected to the love, and also those meals. I 42 00:02:13.240 --> 00:02:17.599 completely understand, and I am so thankful that you called 43 00:02:17.599 --> 00:02:20.919 in tonight, Catherine, because you set the tone and you 44 00:02:21.039 --> 00:02:24.639 understand completely about the importance of Mom. Even though she's 45 00:02:24.719 --> 00:02:28.360 unfortunately no longer with you, she still remains inside of you. 46 00:02:28.439 --> 00:02:29.280 Is that fair to say? 47 00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:33.719 I think that's very fair. And my mom was a 48 00:02:33.800 --> 00:02:38.280 practical person who would say, use your common sense, don't 49 00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:42.879 do stupid stuff, make good choices. It was just, you know, 50 00:02:43.159 --> 00:02:44.080 real basic. 51 00:02:43.919 --> 00:02:47.520 Like that, and it stuck with you for life, didn't it. 52 00:02:47.520 --> 00:02:50.919 It has You know the phrase someone could talk to 53 00:02:50.960 --> 00:02:53.759 you like a Dutch uncle. I've heard my mom could 54 00:02:53.759 --> 00:02:58.199 do that with anybody. She could give anybody advice. If 55 00:02:58.240 --> 00:03:01.039 you screwed up, she'd tell you, but then you knew 56 00:03:01.039 --> 00:03:01.840 she still loved you. 57 00:03:02.319 --> 00:03:03.560 Mm hmmm hm. 58 00:03:04.479 --> 00:03:08.439 Did you pass Did you pass any of this advice 59 00:03:08.479 --> 00:03:12.319 onto your children or other extended family members? 60 00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:13.520 Yeah? 61 00:03:13.800 --> 00:03:18.240 I told my kids you make good choices. If you 62 00:03:18.360 --> 00:03:22.520 make good choices, you'll have probably have a good life, 63 00:03:22.680 --> 00:03:26.560 and that if you want things like a family, an education, 64 00:03:26.919 --> 00:03:29.479 all of that, start making those good choices now. 65 00:03:30.759 --> 00:03:33.120 Kathy, thank you for telling us about your mom. 66 00:03:33.199 --> 00:03:37.520 I'm sorry that Mother's Day can be difficult for many 67 00:03:37.560 --> 00:03:40.319 people just like you.

A 165 00:08:34.200 --> 00:08:36.480 I just want to give a shout out to my mom, Shelley. 166 00:08:36.840 --> 00:08:41.960 She is a very very faithful KFI listener. We grew 167 00:08:42.039 --> 00:08:44.120 up I'm thirty years old. We grew up listening to 168 00:08:44.200 --> 00:08:47.000 KFI and I just have to say my mom is 169 00:08:47.039 --> 00:08:50.960 the most brave and courageous woman I think I've ever met. 170 00:08:51.919 --> 00:08:55.360 She spent you know, I have an identical twin brother, 171 00:08:55.840 --> 00:08:59.080 and she raised two twins and my older sister and I, 172 00:08:59.679 --> 00:09:02.480 and she was a waitress for over twenty years, and 173 00:09:02.519 --> 00:09:05.600 she would work at night and she would be a 174 00:09:05.720 --> 00:09:09.799 student teacher volunteer at our school during the day. And 175 00:09:10.039 --> 00:09:12.320 when I was eighteen, I joined the Marine Corps and 176 00:09:12.480 --> 00:09:15.000 she signed on the dotted line. And it was my 177 00:09:15.080 --> 00:09:17.559 dad who was hesitant on me joining the military, but 178 00:09:17.600 --> 00:09:19.879 my mom was like, yes, do this. 179 00:09:20.120 --> 00:09:21.519 I'm totally supporting you. 180 00:09:22.759 --> 00:09:24.240 And she was just so. 181 00:09:25.919 --> 00:09:30.240 Courageous, and she really just wanted to foster that independent 182 00:09:30.320 --> 00:09:32.440 spirit and just you know, we can do anything to you, 183 00:09:32.480 --> 00:09:35.159 said our mind too. So she signed that dotted line. 184 00:09:35.200 --> 00:09:38.559 And I actually moved back to California about eight months 185 00:09:38.559 --> 00:09:43.120 ago just because I recently received a OCD diagnosis and 186 00:09:43.159 --> 00:09:46.879 she basically nursed me back to health. I was twenty 187 00:09:46.919 --> 00:09:51.320 five pounds underweight and going through a very intense mental 188 00:09:51.360 --> 00:09:54.600 health battle. And she's been working with me the whole time, 189 00:09:54.879 --> 00:09:57.559 encouraging me to take the medication, and she's been on 190 00:09:57.600 --> 00:10:00.320 my care team and then nothing but a churedly this 191 00:10:00.360 --> 00:10:02.440 whole entire time. And I can say I probably would 192 00:10:02.440 --> 00:10:04.159 beat that without her. So I just want to give 193 00:10:04.159 --> 00:10:04.919 a shout out to you, Mom. 194 00:10:05.080 --> 00:10:05.320 Love you. 195 00:10:05.720 --> 00:10:07.679 Let me just say this, Michael, first, thank you for 196 00:10:07.759 --> 00:10:09.799 your service and all that you've done for our country. 197 00:10:09.799 --> 00:10:11.799 That's very important to once to acknowledge that. 198 00:10:12.120 --> 00:10:14.799 And also when you say that you are only thirty 199 00:10:14.879 --> 00:10:17.360 years and oh, that you've been listening to KFI like 200 00:10:17.440 --> 00:10:21.039 all your life, what was that like growing up and 201 00:10:21.080 --> 00:10:23.639 having CAFI on all the time. And I'm quite sure 202 00:10:23.679 --> 00:10:25.519 you probably were not into it when you were a 203 00:10:25.519 --> 00:10:26.200 young kid. 204 00:10:26.039 --> 00:10:28.759 Were you. No, we were not. 205 00:10:30.080 --> 00:10:31.960 You know, my mom would be doing her makeup in 206 00:10:32.000 --> 00:10:33.039 the morning, we'd walk. 207 00:10:32.879 --> 00:10:34.519 Into her room, but we could just hear. 208 00:10:34.480 --> 00:10:38.200 Kfive going off in the background, and that just continued 209 00:10:38.240 --> 00:10:41.440 to go on every morning, every night. It would just 210 00:10:41.480 --> 00:10:43.120 be on and it was just like a part of 211 00:10:43.120 --> 00:10:43.559 the family. 212 00:10:44.559 --> 00:10:48.159 Well, Michael, you have really I think filled my spirit 213 00:10:48.200 --> 00:10:51.279 and the spirit of everyone listening. Hopefully your health is 214 00:10:51.360 --> 00:10:53.320 much better now than what you were telling us of 215 00:10:53.360 --> 00:10:55.759 what you were going through. But like all of us 216 00:10:56.039 --> 00:10:59.159 when we're sick, there's nothing better than the care of Mom. 217 00:11:00.440 --> 00:11:02.639 That's right, Amen. And you know I'll just say this, 218 00:11:03.159 --> 00:11:06.159 some sage advice that she's given me recently in this 219 00:11:06.320 --> 00:11:09.039 battle has been you have all the tools that you need, 220 00:11:09.840 --> 00:11:12.440 and you know, she's just been that cheerleader that I 221 00:11:12.480 --> 00:11:14.759 can do hard things. And so I love you Mom. 222 00:11:15.480 --> 00:11:16.120 Amen to that. 223 00:11:16.279 --> 00:11:19.360 Michael, have a great Mother's Day weekend, and hopefully we'll 224 00:11:19.360 --> 00:11:20.840 get to hear from you again in the future. 225 00:11:22.080 --> 00:11:22.919 All right, sounds good. 226 00:11:22.919 --> 00:11:23.240 Thank Je. 227 00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:27.120 Let's go to Rebecca in del mar Rebecca, thank you 228 00:11:27.159 --> 00:11:29.919 for holding Tell me about your mom or the mother 229 00:11:29.960 --> 00:11:31.840 figure in your life. 230 00:11:32.519 --> 00:11:36.480 Hi, So there's not a day goes by that I 231 00:11:36.559 --> 00:11:40.200 just missed my mom so much her. I do anything 232 00:11:40.240 --> 00:11:42.440 just to get like a hug, just to hear her 233 00:11:42.519 --> 00:11:47.679 voice again. She passed away, and about the year I graduated, 234 00:11:47.759 --> 00:11:51.600 I went back to school for my masters at USC. 235 00:11:52.759 --> 00:11:57.000 It was a battle, and I regret not visiting her 236 00:11:57.120 --> 00:12:00.799 as much. She lived about an hour away from me. Ironically, 237 00:12:01.840 --> 00:12:06.320 she is resting at the near mar Cemetery, which is 238 00:12:06.399 --> 00:12:08.960 like not even two miles from where I live. So 239 00:12:09.039 --> 00:12:11.399 when I'm off the freeway, I'm like, Hi, Mom, I'll 240 00:12:11.399 --> 00:12:14.480 talk to her. I miss her. 241 00:12:15.600 --> 00:12:17.679 Green Enchiladas. 242 00:12:18.480 --> 00:12:21.159 I miss her jokes. When I was in college, she 243 00:12:21.240 --> 00:12:23.600 would have the key to my apartment and come over 244 00:12:23.639 --> 00:12:25.840 and she would kind of like get upset, saying, I 245 00:12:25.840 --> 00:12:28.720 can't believe that you don't make your bed in the morning. 246 00:12:28.759 --> 00:12:31.759 And I'm like, mom, I'm a busy college student. And 247 00:12:31.799 --> 00:12:34.200 she said, all you're doing is inviting the devil to 248 00:12:34.240 --> 00:12:34.799 sleep with you. 249 00:12:35.080 --> 00:12:36.279 And one day I said. 250 00:12:36.039 --> 00:12:38.759 Well maybe, I said, well maybe. One day I said, 251 00:12:38.759 --> 00:12:40.759 well maybe I do want the devil to sleep with me. 252 00:12:41.120 --> 00:12:43.080 Oh, I know that didn't go over well. 253 00:12:46.080 --> 00:12:50.759 So I miss her a lot. I know she's resting peacefully, 254 00:12:51.120 --> 00:12:55.399 and she's very proud of me and my kids. And 255 00:12:55.480 --> 00:12:58.840 she's a great example, just like the previous caller. She 256 00:12:58.960 --> 00:13:02.639 volunteered a lot, a huge advocate. She was also a 257 00:13:02.679 --> 00:13:07.240 foster parent at one point, raised seven kids on her own. 258 00:13:07.919 --> 00:13:12.360 And I thank you so much for doing this mo 259 00:13:12.519 --> 00:13:14.519 for all of us. I appreciate it. And tomorrow it's 260 00:13:14.600 --> 00:13:17.399 actually Mexican Mother's Day. It's always on the tenth, no 261 00:13:17.440 --> 00:13:20.960 matter what day it falls on, so we're blessed to 262 00:13:21.000 --> 00:13:24.600 have those two celebrations. 263 00:13:25.080 --> 00:13:27.840 Rebecca, before I let you go, I have to ask you, 264 00:13:28.240 --> 00:13:32.000 is there anything that your mom told you or reprimanded 265 00:13:32.039 --> 00:13:35.320 you fourth that you reprimand or expect of your kids 266 00:13:35.399 --> 00:13:37.320 now beyond maybe making your bed. 267 00:13:39.320 --> 00:13:45.559 Oh boy, I can't really remember right now, but she 268 00:13:45.919 --> 00:13:51.080 was when she would discipline. My parents were not great 269 00:13:51.159 --> 00:13:53.559 at all that, like the say you're grounded, and then 270 00:13:53.559 --> 00:13:55.639 they forget about it. Because there are so many of 271 00:13:55.720 --> 00:13:57.720 us in the household, they would forget about which one 272 00:13:57.799 --> 00:14:00.519 is disciplined. And I'm the youngest, so I kind of 273 00:14:00.519 --> 00:14:00.919 got like. 274 00:14:00.879 --> 00:14:02.080 The better end of the deal. 275 00:14:04.519 --> 00:14:06.960 But you know what, there's one thing she did that 276 00:14:07.039 --> 00:14:11.759 will never forget. She waited in line twelve hours and 277 00:14:11.799 --> 00:14:14.960 then went to work to cook at a restaurant right 278 00:14:15.000 --> 00:14:18.000 after staying in line for twelve hours for Duran Duran 279 00:14:18.159 --> 00:14:23.240 tickets remember back on Yes, Yes, and then they would 280 00:14:23.279 --> 00:14:28.639 give out the stupid wristbands. It was crazy, It was 281 00:14:28.879 --> 00:14:30.639 I cannot believe she did. And I was only in 282 00:14:30.679 --> 00:14:33.559 eighth grade at the time, and she didn't complain at all. 283 00:14:33.639 --> 00:14:37.039 She would just talk to everyone in line. Yeah, So 284 00:14:38.039 --> 00:14:42.039 I that just those little things that she did. It 285 00:14:42.120 --> 00:14:44.159 was just incredible, and I do the same thing for 286 00:14:44.240 --> 00:14:48.639 my daughter, like the Taylor Swift tickets or kicking carry. Yeah, 287 00:14:49.039 --> 00:14:51.480 we do we do those things. Thank you so much 288 00:14:51.559 --> 00:14:52.879 again though I appreciate it. 289 00:14:52.759 --> 00:14:55.519 Absolutely, Rebecca, thank you for those anecdotes.
