What is LOVE?
Posted: 11/24/2009 5:17:39 AM
SWMILLER.. you are a smart man!! My opinion on LOVE is that it hurts.. but hurts in many obvious wonderful ways. Think about the quote of "no pain no gain".. I'm willing to have alittle hurt and to gain all aspects of the wonderus meanings of Love. this is a great question What is Love? I personally can love easily. It doesn't Mean I can't live without you if I love you.. It means I care about you with love in my heart. Time is the essence of Love. There is I love you for who you are at this moment and theres I love you more than myself!! That is True Love to me.

Passing on a legacy

What a wonderful thread. Thank you so much for bringing so much to my attention. This is very theraputic to me. Loss is hard, but reading others losses, grievances, and purposes has put alot of light in my thinking on this subject. Blessings to you all

Turning 50
Posted: 10/29/2008 5:02:34 AM
My girls gave me a huge 50th party.. It was something I wanted for years.. It was Awesome.. Everybody and Anybody that I care about was there. As for the feeling of turning 50.. I have to admit its kind of depressing to me. I think back to what I could have and what I should have done in those previous 50 years. Although I am looking forward to the next 40-50 years. Its time for this girl to Rock the world..

The smell of her perfume
Posted: 10/25/2008 5:11:37 PM
Laughing at the comments of Patchouli.. It is a strong scent .. but one I have worn for probably 30 years. I actually get lots of compliments on it. But you are right.. it lingers on and one will NOT forget you..

Another fav of mine is burberry.. its soft and lasts forever

Why it's great being in a relationship
Posted: 9/4/2008 4:46:17 AM
Long story short.. My boyfriend of three years passed away this year in January. I personally think I've done pretty darn good as far as coping.. but.. as I read through these posts I now realize that I haven't taken the time to reflect on what I miss. I put up a barrier and went on with life. This thread has made me take a look at the past.. realize just what I had. I knew that I had a good thing at the time.. but now after reading here I realize that I had THE BEST and now its gone. I yearn for what I had and pray that someday someone will come along and make those special moments with me again.Thanks for sharing all your thoughts with me.

Long past relationships
Posted: 8/20/2008 8:11:11 PM
I had a relationship about four years ago with a man who I adored.. a man who I was in love with, a man who was all I ever wanted out of a "relationship" until one day I woke up and decided that I couldn't continue on with an alcoholic. STILL today after falling in love with another man (who sadly died this year) I know in my heart that I still have some feelings for the "alcoholic" We had what I would call a soul relationship. Never have I felt more close to man in my life. but... that dreadful disease has kept us apart. I still to this day wonder if we'll ever get back together. There is no doubt that I know he feels the same way about me today as I do him. We have kept in touch via email ever since we broke up four years ago.

p.s. do you sometimes wonder why you post on a forum? I'm wondering why I'm posting right now.. only thing I can think of is.. because its good therapy for us!!

Why do people im and not type anything?
Posted: 8/19/2008 5:04:12 AM
I've been on other sites where the IM ing was a good thing.. but this POF IMing is not a fun thing for me yet. Like others have said.. "they are blank and no words attached". My opinion is that if you can't say hi.. can't start a conversation then you are NOT one that I want to have anything to do with. Communication is tops in my needs and wants. If this is a problem of POF then I suggest that it be fixed!!

life and death

Thank you for that awesome poem. I copied it and I'll keep it forever.

Keep your chin up.. Read some self help books.. Sounds to me like you went through grieving the right way.. Good days.. Bad days.. I have Faith that you are doing ok.

I lost my love of my life in January to cancer . I often wondered how I would make it through the next minute.. day.. week. Six months later I still cry once in a while, but have grown and matured more in six months that I have in my 50 years. Life does go on.. maybe not the way we had it predicted.. but I am continuely reminding myself that God has a plan for me. .. and I am excited about everyday that I wake up.. Blessings to you all.

Dumbest thing said to you during a chat/date.
Posted: 7/18/2008 5:11:20 AM
Alittle off the subject but still on the same line.. I have a guy emailing me twice a day. In the morning he says "good morning, I hope you have a good day" in the evening he writes " good night".. HUMMMM he must be a real talker don't you think? Give me a break.. If I'm going to chat with you, you must be able to communicate with something alittle more than Hi.. and bye..

moving fast??
Posted: 7/14/2008 5:06:39 AM
SHERYLN.. I think that is an awesome example. I'm going to remember that one!! I too believe that you can love someone instantly.. Matter of fact I love alot of people, but it doesn't mean that I want to be with them for the rest of my life as a "couple".. it just means like you said.. they will be in my heart forever.. thanks for the insight!

Why Do Some Women Do This?
Posted: 7/10/2008 4:52:50 AM
I'm also thinking that deep down she thinks that you need to contribute more to the relationship. (financially) I agree that there is a red flag here.. on both your parts..I don't think this should be a deal breaker, but I do think that there are some grey areas of your relationship that need to be brought out and dealt with.

Losing a loved one to death
Posted: 7/6/2008 7:02:01 AM
I read the forums daily.. but have never read this one until right now. I'm believing that God has sent me to read all the posts on this subject. I had tragedy this past January.. loosing my mother 1/25/08 and my boyfriend of three years on 1/27/08.. yes two days apart. I never ever want to go through such an emotional week as I did that week. I miss them both greatly.. I am a Christian and feel that I've handled all this pretty darn good. What I do want to say is THANK YOU for sharing all your losses with us. Its good to talk about it and its been really good for me to read all that you have shared with us. My two cents is that God gives us only what we can handle.. but yet we need to believe that it is not us really handling it.. It is GOD..My faith has gotten me through my losses and although its been alittle hard dealing with.. I still wake up every morning and thank God for what I have and believe that God has a plan for me. People.. life is good and we need to thank the good Lord for every moment of our life here on earth. If I could personally hug each and everyone of you that has went through great losses.. I would.. but since that is impossible.. HUGs to you all and God Bless you in every way..joan

Terminal relationships
Posted: 4/28/2008 3:31:17 PM
Sounds realitively silly, but, when my boyfriend passed away in January one of the last things I felt and said to him was." I love you more now than ever". After going through such a tragic ..slow..painful time with him.. we got closer and closer to each other. When going through a slow death.. you loose all inhibition and the caregiver gives and takes just about as much as the one dying does. I wanted to be the one holding his hand and rubbing his throbbing head (from brain cancer). I would have done anything that he asked.. because I truly felt like part of me was dying right along with him at the time. He may have been " out of it" for the last few days.. but I know in my heart that he knew I was there and he knew that it was me holding his hand and caring for him. This death truly taught me alot of valuable lessons on life. I wouldn't trade any of the time that I spent with him during this. The best thing that we did as a couple was to attend Church together regularly and I absolutely believe that it made our trip from the beginning to the end of his life much more complete. I can definetly say that without our faith throughout the cancer, it would have been a very hard thing to accept. Of course I grieved.. of course I still grieve, but I know that hes in a much better place and I know that God has a greater plan for myself. so with all due respect.. I'm going on with life.. with alot of memories and lessons learned from this man.

I enjoy reading all the above comments.. and appreciate everyones version and thoughts. blessings.. joan

Clasact.. You wear your profile name Honorably!!

I agree with the others.. that if you truly love the terminally ill person.. then it is "til death do we part".

Terminal relationships
Posted: 4/23/2008 5:16:55 AM
My boyfriend of three years just passed away this past January. He found out that he had cancer three months into our relationship. I knew instantly that I would not leave him for his illness. I am so glad that I took the time to spend the next three years going through some horrible trying times with him. He didn't ask to contract this desease.. It did alter his personality abit, but that was to the better. He so much appreciated life and was so positive about his situation. We drove 600 miles for months to Mayo Clinic trying to find a cure. I took many days off of work and never thought a thing of it. He was so worth it. so.. Yes is my answer.. I would NEVER leave someone I loved because of a terminal illness. I learned so much going through this ordeal that I could never ever look back and think."why did I stay". God does have a plan for each one of us.. and I knew throughout his whole illness that it was Gods plan for me to stay and learn, and love unconditionally. I have no regrets.. but I also know he would want me to go on with life and enjoy every second God has given us.. that my friends is why I'm on here looking for another "class act" of a human being.
