Good morning xxx,
Thank you for giving me an insight of you. I don’t even know where to begin, to say what I want to convey to you. I will do my best to express my thoughts and hope you can understand what I mean. I have wanted to reply to your email ever since it arrived but this is the first moment I have had. I understand the age difference but I don't think it should be an obstacle from my own perspective. You see, I really want to meet you and see where this friendship goes after our meetings but I've been tied down with a lot of work lately. I've met couple of women on online dating that turns out to lie about their relationship status, while they were still married. I had to stop communicating with them, as I don't want to get myself in that situation or be a home wrecker.
I would like to tell you a story that touched my heart last Wednesday. I visited a nursing home with a friend to see his mother. In the nursing home there was a lady who was unresponsive. I'm not sure of her history. The nurse put her in a lazy boy chair and wheel her to the nurses desk. She laid there with her head to one side with drool coming out of her mouth. She never moved. I was coming around the corner on my way out. As I turned the corner another patient was next to her. He was an older gentleman with a baseball cap on. He was on a wheelchair. As I came around the corner I saw him take a Kleenex and he wiped the drool off the side of her face. He was talking to her softly. He was looking at her and then held her hand. I had paused my movement so I would not disturb him. After a few moments he glanced my way and stopped talking. He then tucked her blanket at her shoulder. I witness his love for her and it brought tears to my eyes.
My late wife (Kelly) was British, we do visit London regularly before she passed on, her family still lives in London. I lost both of my parents on the same day Sept 7 2014 in an accident. I will never forget them for they have shown me how much I truly mean to them many times even at my worst but I never really cherished it when they were alive. My father was the one driving, my mother was in the front passenger seat with him. The fatality was both of them and that was because they weren't wearing their seat belt properly. My mother kept the lap-belt on, but put the chest belt behind her back. The details of "how" aren't so important to the question, but they ended up striking a car nearly head-on and they both was thrown forward and broke their neck on the windshield as the car was crushed into the oncoming vehicle. I'm told it was instantaneous. I'm inclined to believe it.
You see, interior decorators on the other hand (of the serious variety) are also ‘Investors’ to varying degrees, and when I say ‘investor’ that can mean not just in terms of money. When you decorate a home/office, your clients want much much more than a pretty house/office when they are considering hiring you. My job has taken me to several countries, I have been to different, (London, Holland, Germany, Hong Kong, Thailand, Singapore, New Zealand , Australia) I sometimes work from home. I have been in and out of this job for 18 years now. BUT, a month ago I wanted to move to Paris or so I thought. I was interviewing for Disney there, and also a company in California called me for another interview and I got hired here first, 4 days later I got a call from Disney. I still wonder if I did the right thing, but I believe God gave me the California contract for a reason, so I don't second guess myself about my decision to work for Disney. Who knows, maybe that opportunity may present itself again in life. When God opens a door, just walk through it and see what happens... my point is, I am not unstable, so don’t panic, just looking for something I never had ever since my wife passed away. I haven't been asked out for a while now, maybe because I'm sometimes selective, that is why I signed up on the dating site. I am a money maker, I never have a problem finding work, now love, that’s another story.
I've since started working on the California contract for the past weeks, It's an office building and I've been contracted to renovate and decorate the whole office space for about 60 staffs including the President and the VP of the company. The interesting part is I get to import the items myself from Turkey before it opens for service by March next year. I'm truly honoured! I've made all arrangement since I got the contract and I will be traveling to Istanbul, Turkey next month. I'm a little bit nervous but can't absolutely wait to enjoy and explore the beautiful city. I will be leaving first week in January and spending only 2 weeks there. I hope this won't be a deal breaker for our friendship?. I promise we won't loose communication a bit, I will take my laptop with me and my phone will be on. 509-640-3061.
It is very important for me to build a life of stability, security, and opportunity for the special person I hope to share my thoughts, feelings, experiences, dreams and fantasies with. My goals and dreams are to live a good life, and maybe meet someone that believes in unconditional love. However I wouldn't consider myself a “dream” man at all. I am just an average man who is really seeking what God would have for me and even through my faults, and failures that God would give me a second chance at a good marriage. I felt like I had wasted a lot of years but I don't blame myself. God through His grace can take any situation and turn it for good.
Questions for you :
- What makes you smile?
- What makes you cry?
- What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
- Where is your favorite place in the world?
- Who do you look up to & learn from?
- What are the 4 words that your friends would use to describe you?
Thank you again for giving me the opportunity to build this special friendship with you! My special friendship with you is something I want to make permanent and we can say we are happy at the end. I will totally understand if it doesn't work out and of course, we can always remain friends.
Blessings,
Rodney
