I'm a 49 year old widow with one adult son,was widowed young and spent the rest of my life concentrating on work and raising my son who was only a toddler when his dad died.Now that he is of age he is hardly ever at home and I feel very, very lonely.Besides that my own body,blood and heart feels the need to love and be loved again hence the need for a companion.I'm a nurse by proffesion but am not currently practicing because I had a stroke 31/2 years ago.As of now am almost fully recovered although I still need to use a walking stick ocasionally for outdoor walking.I'm very optimistic and aiming to attain full recovery,I attend the gym 3 times a week and try to take long walks daily to aid my recovery.I'm looking for a man within the age of 48-60 of any ethnicity to start a friendship which hopefully will lead to a meaningful long term to permanant relationship.I would love to find someone who is prepared to love me as I am and value honesty,faithfulness,caring attitude and love in abundancey and am personally to abide by the same principles and values.
