Seems as if i have traveled thru many mountains, and crossed many rivers to find My Life Long Love, allways seems as when the sun shines, that rainbow disappears, no matter how far i have traveled to find it, Being Divoriced for 9 yrs, and tested many along the way, but just not connected with the right one, at the right time! Yes this has tested my patients, and sure learned alot along the way, being single and on my own has sure helped me to see much clearer, and bettering my life, so i can be the right one, not just want the right one!
I have nearly just quit looking, worst part is I have Lost most of my family, Dad drowned at 16, Brother murdered driving a cab at 18, Mom died of Cancer, now it just me and still walking thru the fire alone. Not many will walk thru the fire with you ! They want to go arround it! I will allways have hope, but at times it seems week.
Not looking for sympathy, but sometimes a lil encouragement paves the way,

Hi Larry
You seem to be feeling it somewhat, loneliness at a stab in the dark.
You know? I get lonely sometimes and I have a partner, I get down and I struggle.
He is not with me daily to lend a shoulder, give a hug, only when we are together, but I do have an ear, when I need one.
I do have mt children, one in the US, the other one in the UK, and they are great and leading their own lives. But we are still close and share alot and I adore them and enjoy watching them on their way.
And then I have my students, one of them an adopted one, that has been with me on my travels, he is now moving on too when he graduates.
So, my days are full of people, who I adore and love deeply, I have a fulfilling job, where I work in my office, with my head buried deep, and with 80 kids around me, but I still do not go home to him and will not do for some time, until we decide who moves where.
But I still feel like you do, when I get home like tonight, late, again, after losing track of time and the lights go off at school and I lock the door and go home and unlock that door and wish he would be there to pour me a glass of wine. Offer a hug, offer a smile, as I know he would.
You know, you do not have to have sympathy, at all, you have suffered so much loss, but you can get up and do something about this.
Some wonderful lady will be along, don't look for her, don't seek her, she is not hiding, she has just not met you yet.
'You cannot change the direction of the wind, but you can alter your sails. ' (I cannot remember the author)
If you are the right one, then she will be there, and you may not know it.
So smile, take a look around you, laugh, play some music, look at the people you have had in your life, don't think with sadness, think with happiness.
Here is something, that I will share with you.
Yesterday, I told my man that I missed him.
His response? 'never miss me, I will never disappear'
You may not feel loved right now, alone, but remember the ones you have lost and remember how they loved you and you loved them.
Smile and be happy, you will attract happy people.

Thank you so much for a heartfilled response, I may go along fine for a week or two, then i have my sad days, I have allways gotten thru them and tomorrow allways comes a different day with much to be greatful for ! Thanks Larry
Hey Larry! I know what you mean. But after 9 years of being on my own and raising 2 autistic kids by myself, the right one did come along. I wasn't looking for him and I wasn't expecting him, but he showed up anyway. I was a lot like you. Never thought anyone would be willing to walk the road of autism with me. I figured if their own father couldn't handle it, why would anyone else want to. But destiny has it's own agenda and we don't know what it is until it happens. Keep the faith darlin'! All good things come to those who wait.

hi there larry, yes there is an end to the rainbow, in my mind. just when you think you cant take any more, have given up hope, or least expect it. that is when you find your pot of gold, or angel, that makes it all worth everything you had to endure. keep the faith

Hang in there Larry...
Some people have been alone longer, and some all their lives.
It will happen again for you....don't push it, be patient and before you know it, you will meet someone wonderful. I see a woman here on this thread who you should talk to....

Larry, I know how hard it is......... I was born a poor black child with no rythum ........... And at birth I was damned being born with two penises, one which was attached to my forehead and couldn't be removed till ten years age for fear it would cause brain damage .... But Larry, Somehow I got through it all ............ and I'm here today still hoping for life to shine it's golden showers upon me .............just like you
I found love last year and I made him promise before I moved in with him that any and all problems we could work out together, and be together forever. He agreed and said He loved that idea. Well several months later his living in the past and his immaturity destroyed us and all he wanted was rid of me. Cause I wanted him to be in the present with me. So he kicked me out, and I lived there another 4 months till I could find a place to move to. I will be very tough to convince me to ever move in with a man ever again. And it will take a long time of truely knowing him and being friends first before falling for him.
Anyway hang in there Larry, You will find love, Just as I know someday it will be my turn as well.
Larry, be patient, and it will happen when and how it's meant to be. I know about loss and walking through fire, and it's really hard to do it whether you're alone or not, though harder alone, I admit. I've been through a lot of things in my life, and walked some of my hardest roads alone.
I'm blessed. I've found the man who will walk the rest of it beside me. And it happened at a time when I was fresh healed from another hurt and giving a very complex relationship its chance for closure one way or another, so I wasn't really looking for it at the time. The best relationships usually happen when you least expect them, and don't always wait for the ideal timing. Keep your mind and your options open, and in the mean time, hang out and make friends. You never know what could develop.

Sommer, that was beautiful... & so true! We're not going anywhere. When we least expect it, it will find us. Meanwhile, learn from each experience. It just makes us stronger & usually, a better person for it.

Thanks Druidess and Sweetowen,
Just one of those days that seems a bit testing, I havemade it 48 years, so soon,maybe i will live the BEST PART of life with someone who deserves it , Thanks
your have better luck wining lotto, then finding a partner, but then again mate, that's life... its trial and error!!! but at least its fun... we live, we eat, we die, simple....
its normally the case, when your marriage is over, that's about the only chance you get... its too dam hard trying to find someone to replace her... the scars always follow you... but i do wish you the best Larry, watch the sunset, or sunrise!! smell a flower, walk on the beach, look at life... and before you know it, someone will come to you...
