LOL Actually MOST of my very best friends are online people, male and female. Some I've met and even ultimately traveled with or met them at a lighthouse on some coastal area. Some I've been emailing for many years and never met, but they are truly better friends than any of my " friends " living right here in town!!! Some I've never met that I would truly like to meet and will some day (like some of the folks in this group!!) I've found for the most part in people I have met that they've been honest with me and are truly the same type of person that comes across in the emails or chatrooms. I did have one instance several years ago...of a guy who was truly different in real life than on the internet...don't chat with him anymore...he lied about lots of things...his real personality was eve different..LOL Lots of hugs and prayers, Donelle Caregiver to Glenn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last thing I was thinking I needed was a man. I moved back home to live with a sister and her husband 10 months after my son died. They own a carnival and left that summer to travel, I was alone all day and night with lots of animals and realizing I had to live without my son some way. I bought a computer to research the " game " that had taken my son's life, so as not to use my brother in laws, and in all my spare time I found a bingo room, and started talking to the people there. was there sometimes. One night I was very upset about my son and he insisted on calling me. I wouldn't give him my number so he gave me his. After that we talked in the room, then I learned how to IM and then the real phone calls started back and forth too. We talked online every single night for months and you're right, we had so much in common, I loved how he was and knew if I didn't meet him, I'd regret it the rest of my life. He was 3000 miles away but he came to see me, stayed 18 days, went back and closed up his life there and moved back here with me 2 months later. We got married 2 years after that. He's just the greatest thing that could have happened to me, I've never felt closer to anyone in my life or been treated so well by any man. We talked more in the first year than my first husband had talked to me in 28 years. said I saved his life and I know he saved mine. So there you go, all this happened when I was 52 years old, I meet the love of my life. Amazing and so badly needed. ~~Dianna I love , too, for being so good to you and for you!!! Can't wait to meet you guys!! Just goes to show you, it's never too late to meet the love of your life!! I was in my 50's as well.... My Mom was 60 when she married the love of her life, was married 32 yrs very happily when Bob died in 1999. They are " together again " now!!! Although I miss her sooooo much, I'm happy about them being together again!!! Lots of hugs and prayers, Donelle Caregiver to Glenn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 The Lord certainly does provide. I guess I will leave the choosing up to him.. He knows me better than I know myself. LOL.. God Bless you Dianna, he sent you someone when you needed it most. Big hugs for you both. Jolene Dianna Brendle wrote: > and Donelle, I wasn't looking either.
