b-'55', m-'88', w-'96', strawberry blonde, 5'2", eyes of blue - I have been Southern Baptist all my life and have been pianist in two churches over the last 35 years. I am raising my eight year old son who attends a Christian school and he is very active in travel soccer. My interests are reading, playing the piano, going for long walks (especially in the Fall), my son's soccer, and being the very best Mom that I can be. I am also moving on in life trying to find someone special with whom I can spend the rest of my life making happy, but who can understand that I have loved someone else and I think only a widower can really understand this.

b-'35', w-'94'. I have 4 great children, 12 grandchildren, and 3 great-grandchildren. I made Christ Lord of my life while in my 40's. My late husband and I went into fulltime service for the Lord as Envoys in the Salvation Army, retiring early from regular jobs to operate a Homeless Program and pioneer for a church. He had to retire in 1990, and died 4 years later of heart failure. I am not really active in my church anymore, but have been using my writing skills to serve the Lord. I really love the Lord and, though I still miss my husband daily, I know he is in a better place, "Safely Home", and feel the Lord must have still had work for me to do if He is leaving me here for so long. He has been good to me, and I am comfortable with my life, but I do get lonely from time to time. I would appreciate hearing from other Christians who live alone.

b-'50', m-'72', w-'01'. 3 children: twin sons, '76'; and a daughter, '78'. Husband died very unexpectedly. Am struggling with my faith, but I really want to find it again. I love spending time with my family and friends, time at the beach, browsing through antique stores, collecting and gardening. I work full-time in city-government and live in a rural area.

b-'69'; m-'95'; w-'03'. No children; enjoy cooking, trying different ethnic foods, reading in the big chairs at the bookstore, traveling, church, playing piano, and singing, all of which I did with my husband of 7 years. This is very new for me and I wonder will I be able to enjoy these things ever again, because he is not here with me to enjoy them. He contracted an unknown heart virus we believe from a ministry trip to a foreign country that we both went on 3 years ago. He suffered for 3 years, and he was a great man of God. He wanted to go home and be with the Lord because he was in pain and he was tired, but I just knew that the Lord would heal him. After all, he was only in his early 30's, and he still had so much more work ahead of him, I believed. Well, in Jan. 03, he finished a music project he was working on, and collapsed, and never came to. I was devastated, but my consolation is that he knew the Lord, and he is enjoying the presence of the Lord. Just want someone to e-mail me sometime, and let me know if you have been able to enjoy life again, and how. It is pretty hard for me because I am not a very outgoing person, and my world pretty much revolved around my husband. Although we were married 7 years, we dated for a while before that and were friends before that. At first, I pretty much wanted to lay down and die, and that feeling still comes and goes, as this is still very fresh, but I know that I still have work to complete, and I want Jesus to say well done to me. If anyone has any insight, please let me know.
