Oh Anno...I love it and I soooooo get what you mean by hearing the voice and feeling connected...and then when you get talking and find those commonalities. That is where I went too and I met a lot of "interesting" guys.

Anno, given our maturity, it's good that he had hair!

Wow...so many wonderful love stories...melts my heart to hear them and to know that despite everything we can find love that lasts....so far.

Larry and I were a match.com romance...I won't bore you with the details again cuz I think I've shared them before...5 years almost to the day since we met (Sep 30th 2003) and we'll be married 4 years next March. I will tell you about today because it was so sweet.

I bought Larry an IPhone a couple of months ago and he is attached at the hip to that thing...today he was loading songs into it and we were looking at choices...I spotted a Mama's and Papa's song and asked him to play it...it was "Dedicated to the One I Love". I grabbed him and we started dancing in the kitchen. When the song got to the words that say..."Each night before you go to bed, my baby.....whisper a little prayer for me my baby...." and I looked up at Larry and he had big tears in his eyes...he squeezed me tightly and held me for the longest time while we continued to slowly dance to the music. I could tell he was fighting hard not to cry. I looked up at him and asked..."Baby, are you happy?" He smiled, more tears in his eyes, "More than you'll ever know...I love you so much." Wellllllllllll, that did it...then my tears started.
I remember there was a time when online dating had a stigma about it...I didn't want anyone to know I was trying to date that way...but, now...after what God brought me, I proudly shout it from the roof top.

Dee believe me you and Larry are a couple out of millions that have made the right connection. I so envy that, but you two are a couple in a million and those odds are to tough for me. Been there - done that!

OOPS
Finger slipped.

How did I meet my husband.
"Knew" him long before I met him...waited until I recognised him and the rest is history.
this was clear to me when I saw how seamlessly life was and how wanted and loved our babies were.
I still love returning home to him... and neither growing older or illness has changes how I feel.

My Grandmother said to met that some people are meant to be together..I understand that.

Gosh, finally found the time to read this thread. So many beautiful stories, and it is heart warming to “feel” the love that you all have in your relationships.

When I met my Hubby it was hate at first sight.

I was skiing in Switzerland, and I was a lousy skier. Gosh those mountains are BIG. My friend and I found a beginners trail that led along side of the mountain. It had a slight slope, but it was narrow. Well, we were snow plowing along, when suddenly we heard a bunch of skiers skid to a stop behind us. One of the guys yelled, “Move over!” Before we could even sidestep, they sped past us, almost knocking us off the slope.

At the bottom of the trail, we met up with the group who were waiting for the connecting bus to the gondola. I went up to the “leader of the pack”, and told him in my broken German how careless he was; and that he practically knocked us off the slope. Boy was I mad!

In the hotel that evening at the dinner table, Mr. Speedy Gonzales was placed directly across the table from me. He invited me to a glass of wine as a token of a truce. I accepted, and we got married 3 months later.

I was so scared at the wedding, that I almost cancelled the last minute.
Now we’ve been married 34 years. Sometimes he is still trying to knock me off that slope! But I’m holding on, and despite all our ups and downs, we have many more ups…which makes skiing really interesting.

Edelweiss...I know your story and you're the strongest woman I know...you have my admiration and keep on skiing...and when he needs it, give him what for!!! I'm glad the ups are more frequent now...

Chatty...never say never.

Merideth..thank you sweetie...
