I lost my husband unexpectedly over three years ago. I was in a deep depression when my daughter suggested I take a drive every day. KTIS is the only radio station I listen to, so I turned up the volume as I drove. The daily drives are the only thing I can do to stay above the waves that come without warning. The music, KTIS stories, prayer time, wildlife, and God’s beauty get me through the tough days.
