I am a proud, warm single mom of 2 beautiful girls that has nearly given up on romance. I was diagnosed 16 years ago after my husband infected me. He died 10 years ago and life has been joy and pain ever since. I fight every day to live a full life but it is hard to do alone. I want what every woman wants...to be loved, cherished, respected and treated like a queen. In return, I will treat my man like a king and give him the very best of me. My heart has been broken so many times, I dont know if I have the energy to put it back together again. The old country song that goes, "she's been walked on and stepped on so many times, and I hate to admit it but the last footsteps mine...she was crying when I met her...she cries harder today...so dont blame her life turned her that way..." I am not asking for pity-I hate that but I am asking for some respect and to be loved as IRENE not as a walking disease. I have never been and never will be a drug user, alcoholic or abuser of any kind so if that is what youre into.....please pass me by. Dont waste my precious time. Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away....
