Hi guys!
My name is Peter. Let me tell you about a love story that goes back to 1990. I met this beautiful Swedish girl when I was on business in London UK back in 1990. Sitting at the hotel bar after close of business that day, my eyes came into contact with a lady who could have been a pin up movie star.
I just had to speak to her and started up a conversation.
She only had a couple of drinks and we decided to go to the park next to Earls court. It was breath taking to sit with a lady who listened to me, in turn we both had so many questions for each other.
I knew that from the first moment we saw each other, I had fallen in love with this Swedish girl.
After one of the most beautiful nights in our lives, we said goodbye the next day as she was flying back to Sweden, I was due to go back to Scotland at the end of the week.
I promised to call her and did a few times when I arrived back in Scotland. The fifth time I called her, a young child answered the phone and could not speak English. I said best I could.* Tell your mom I will telephone Friday* When that Friday came, I was heart broken. The number was no longer connected. With the UK and Swedish operator figuring out that there was no forwarding address number.
I met a lady in Scotland and we had a relation ship for 18 years until she ended up with my best friend.
After a while I thought it was time to date again.
All those years later, cell phones and online computers were all the rage.
A few short relationships later, I decided to try online dating.
One day, I came home from work and saw a couple people had viewed my profile on Connecting singles.
When I looked at the second one, this picture of a beautiful looking woman, mature in years like me. She was pulling my eyes to her picture. There was something about her that I was drawn to.
I think it was two days later when I had a message from her. She just wanted to know if I was the Peter she met in London in 1990!!!!
WOW! You could have knocked me down with a feather.
Yeppers! It was Veronica.
10 days later she flew over to Edinboro and I fell in love all over again. She told me I was the only one night stand she had ever had. LOL. Technically.
We ended up with her moving to Scotland and my home. That was in 2012. On September 21st 2013, we married. ( See Picture on my profile. )
Last year after having cancer for the third and fourth time, she didn't have any fight left in her. She passed away in front of me.
I loved her to bits and still do. Now I have to get on with life and living. I have cried honest tears. Grieved hard, but, now I am starting to laugh and live again.
What better place to come back to than Connecting singles, where beautiful things can and do happen.
In the end, I was given some beautiful years with a woman that I thought I would never be with. I was also part of the solution, not the problem with what she had in the cancer.
Love sometimes finds a way. In my case, It did. It was fate!
I am young at heart at 64 years old. My mind is of a 30 year old, but my body reminds me I am not lol.
Thank you for taking time to read this. Thank you connecting singles.
