DENNIS…….
I retired from California and moved to Durango, Colorado.
Karen and I met through a online dating site.
After reading each other’s profile we thought they were interesting …
enough to meet.
After some time, I asked Karen to move in with me but
when her son-in-law got transferred to Oregon,
I felt life without family here would cause her regret and misery.
Talking occasionally wasn’t enough and months later I invited her back
as I didn’t want to take a chance of losing her.
We’ve been together now for three years and have been happy ever since.
We get along great. We have similar likes and dislikes from music to sports.
We both enjoy travelling, hiking, fishing and importantly family times.
We plan on going to more ‘bucket list’ destinations and luxurious cruises.
I love her dearly and look forward to spending the rest of my life with her.
KAREN…
Originally from New York,
I retired in 2012 and moved to be nearer my daughters and their families.
Being divorced for years,
I looked forward to helping watch my grandkids,
volunteering and exploring the west.
I fell in love with Colorado,
but found after living the mountain life and babysitting,
meeting new people was not easy.
I missed my friends terribly.
By January 2014,
I caved to one friend’s advice and dabbled with online dating sites.
That proved to be an endless process of
reading boring profiles and take disappointing risks.
But that all changed one night when I perked up reading DJ’s profile.
It was an articulate, interesting with a humorous flowing description of himself –
attracting me to want to know more!
I sent him the first email commenting on a few common interests.
That step led to his response, phone calls and meeting.
Our first date was for dinner and I remember I was
immediately attracted to his smiling eyes and kind face.
He was confident, a great listener and our conversation was easy.
Both owning big dogs, we continued getting more acquainted
on long walks with them in the weeks that followed.
Another interest we shared was sports.
DJ is a Senior Softball National League player,
so our relationship grew as I attended tournaments with him all over the country.
And…
I got to make new friends – goal accomplished!
When my son-in-law got transferred to Oregon,
I followed with the family move.
DJ and I kept in touch as we waited for our lives to move on,
but ten months later DJ called and asked if I would move back.
It is now a year later and I cannot believe how good life is
and how committed we have become to each other.
One of DJ’s retirement goals was to one day meet his forever-after soulmate
and remarry.
That wasn’t one of my hopes or dreams,
but God works in mysterious ways!
Here we are now, two crazy senior kids in love,
heading to Paradise
to unite two hearts into one!
Looking forward to our future!
A Luv Story Blessing of Two Crazy Senior Kids in Love
Meeting online is a very wise way…
Consider how many countless eons & beers it would take,
To meet one’s perfect Soulmate in a bar
:-O
They say, If you love something…. Let it go,
if it comes back it was meant to be.
And so, it was… with a wee bit of a sidetrack to Oregon…
True love of Soulmates couldn’t stay apart.
After working forever and finally achieving
the life one has spent a lifetime dreaming of…
It would still feel like an empty space without
a True Love companion to share it with.
Karen came from the ‘other coast’ and Dennis came from the cally coast…
Meeting up had the advantage of both owning big dogs,
Dogs have a way of playing cupid…
They allow us to relax into our True Nature of Being…
Our hearts open and allow the embrace of love to come trotting right in
😉
Karen was waiting for ‘God’ to find a way to her Soulmate…
‘God’ does work in mysterious ways…
Perhaps it’s no coincidence that doG spelled backwards is…
Well… very Divine indeed.
