What about you?

Did it last?

How far have you traveled to consume that love?

If it didn't last, would you do it again?

Why did it end?

Thanks for sharing.

Thank you CS for this wonderful site. I am one lucky person because of you.

This is a very personal account that I thought I would keep it to myself forever but for what its worth, I would love to share it.

I wasn't looking. Two years after my beautiful 28 years of marriage to a very loving man who gave me three lovely children and a very fulfilling life, things changed. Very dramatic and very economically crippling. The year was 2007. Early 2008 I lost two houses and most of our savings due to poor investment as well as careless living. In spite of good money still rolling in from our jobs, I felt devastated. To cut the story short, I was so miserable and unhappy Gambling got the best of me and just me and my cards fed off my need to be alone and lonely.

My best friend of 40 years who lives in CH contacted me and was so shock to find out that I ended my beautiful marriage. She is a celebrated writer and lives a great life in Europe. We used to visit each other and share things and confide about life. We used to post our writings on some other sites that is exclusively for poetry. I wasn't comfortable with the strict format. I am a free verse writer instead of those English rigid style. She informed me about CS. Up to the third time I refused knowing it is a dating site. Never been a member of any other as I will never be involved again was my mentality after my marriage. But on the third time she guided me how to be in it, I was at that time a very computer illiterate and wouldn't know how to maneuver the wide array of getting into the PC. But she guided me and after reading quite a few entries, I was glued. She instructed me not to put any picture or communicating with anybody. Just block the whole world she said. Which is what I did. But in the poetry section yo can comment and or share your ideas with the fellow writers. Anyways, that is where love found me to find him that wasn't even looking. And...like most of us...loved flourished so beautifully for the next 17 months. Went to NSW about five times and he came to the US for about three times. For right now that is the extent of my experience here.

Thanks for reading.

Sorry for not having said about how it ended but for right now let us say, I am enjoying most of my time here. If you know the reason I am here, I am sure you would understand. Learning and friends got the better part of me right now and while I am very vehemently stating that I am not looking, it is a phrase most people don't understand. Let us just say my stay here doesn't hurt no one and more so for you who doesn't even know me yet.

But each and everyone of us pass judgement on others as of course we don't ask first the reasons why we do things differently from each of us?

But thank you for your comment. I will perhaps continue my story?

Thanks for joining anyways.

I will continue:

Are you still reading?

So now I was told by my three specialist that I would die in 90 days. I wasn't shock anymore and was ready to die. After all, that was said to me already once. That was in 1999. At the peak of my life, youthful and healthy. Four beautiful and lovely children. One day when my regular health exam was conducted, I was told I would die. I was a member at Kaiser then which is one of the best provider of health care in Northern California. At the peak of a very successful business my husband and I embraced. I quit my teaching job and stayed with the business while raising my family. This time for the second declaration of my death didn't mean anything anymore. I was ready. I was happy to go and meet my loving parents and my most love brother and sister. I said thank you Lord for the extension of my life when I asked you to.

But then things changed. So I met this wonderful man. He was with me all the time while I was going through this verdict. Our love was the most beautiful. Most divine and most pure. We shared our love at the corner and we celebrated each and everyday of our beautiful story with the presence of our friends with whom we met some of them in person.

We loved each other like none of us ever had. At least that is what we always said to each other.

After 17 months. It ended. Both of us were aware of some other calling that left us to be separated. It wasn't easy but we survived. I know he is in a better hand as I am on mine.

For right now, I am here sharing all my ideas and enjoying all my learnings and my friends.

Thank you again for reading. Still I am not looking. And it is not like I have shortage of offers in RL as well as here. For right now let me just say I am so lucky and so happy to have all the freedom to do anything I want. Thank you all.

Why do I feel the sarcasm in your demeanor? But love looks for in all of us. If you would know when it comes, you better know what to do. At least that is how I feel. Lucky are those that knows when love comes. My original statement.

You met me at the worst point of my life All. I want you to know that when life sentences you and can't ever lose, you become the epitome of good energy. You value every second that passes in your hands. You become unencumbered with pettiness and feel how grand life is. These concerns that you read me writing about, are just but facts in our daily grind of life. The mystery of why and how life is. But at the end of the day and you can smile going to rest your weary body and tired mind and still look forward when the new dawn breaks the day and the sun rising, spread your hands to the sky and say, I am glad I am so alive. That is all that matters All. I am happy to be here with you sharing my mind.handshake

Let it be said All, my children and our friends are my witness how my ex still kiss the ground I step on. He is doing everything to get me back, but I changed. Yesterday he thank me again and again for my children as we celebrated the 26th year of our lovely middle daughter. My ex sister in law still loves me and ask that I would be her sister forever.

Thank you very much.

You are right All, nevertheless, this is a testimonial and how best can I have it said? But your privacy is of course best served by doing it in a closed communication.

I hear you All.

Thanks.
