He acknowledges that her prayers have somehow reached him and influenced his life. He shares that he's found a new love interest in Jefferson City, and she allows him to indulge in his hobbies, like fishing. Despite his distance and the choices he's made, he's proud of his origins and the fact that he's now on the radio, making his mother aware of his achievements.
