"An Angelic Mother"

so i heard this amazing story on the radio, and i knew i had to share. if any of you are bay area folk, you may have heard of the radio dj host 'delilah.' she's this incredibly kind woman with a soothing voice who listens to the stories of people in the south bay who phone in and selects an uplifting song to honor each person's story...so when i switched my radio dial to 94.5, this is what i heard:
a woman with a genuine and quivering voice explained that she was the biological mother of her 38-year old son, randy, who was adopted when he was 7 days old by a warm-hearted soul named, mrs. lancaster. randy's biological mother so humbly began to describe randy's adopted mother as this woman who raised 200 children (not sure how, but that's what she said), and adopted 7 of them as her own. randy was the last one she adopted when she was 53 years old (even though the state tried to prevent it since they thought she was too "old"). despite that, she succeeded in the adoption and randy lived with her all of her years and cared for her until she recently passed away at age 90 this past december. the son's biological mother then proudly began to share to the radio waves that her son was always called the "daddy" in his family because he was the one all of his brothers and sisters looked up to since their own father had passed away from parkinsons' disease. the woman was teary-eyed as she closed with the final remarks that "i know that randy has given been the gift of happiness from this mother of his, that he could not have experienced in even one day with me."
by the end of her heartfelt story, i too was teary-eyed. after that, delilah, then honored mrs. lancaster, the woman she called, "an angel," with the song, "testify" (testifying about love). :)
