I am an educator of young children for the last 22 years, and I am a mother of two teenagers! It's a great life! I am looking to share it with someone who has a love of family and respect for herself and others. I am proud of the person I have become over the years, and I am also very proud to have raised two of the most wonderful children I have ever known. I love my family very much and they are so important to me. I enjoy "people watching" and like to see couples who are happy and in love. I know that my time will come. I have learned that patience and observation are the key to finding that special someone with whom you can be yourself and feel comfortable. She will be funny and intelligent, kind and respectful. She will look at me in a way that tells everything, without words. She will know that she will be cared for and respected by the way I look at her. These things matter. I don't take anyone or anything for granted. I appreciate and value all the little things because life is so precious, so profund, if we allow it to be, and far too short to not be able to share your heart with someone.
