I am a kind and loving American woman who was married to her best friend, an Egyptian man. I met him when I was 15 years old and I lived in Egypt for one year as an exchange student. Back then, I converted to Islam. Unfortunately, my husband recently passed away from a terminal illness. I am not the type of person who enjoys being alone. Even before my husband died, he isolated himself for our entire marriage in his room or would refuse to go places with my son and I. I would really like to find a companion who will help me become a better Muslim and would enjoy travelling and reading and being outside in nature--just doing daily things with me. I wanted to share life with my previous partner and he ignored me. Then, he passed away, may God have mercy on him for all the sacrifices he made to make my life better. I have a lot to give in the way of care and attention. I tried to share it with my previous spouse and often got rejected. Now that he is no longer with me, I would like to find a partner who wants to spend time with me and build a life together. I have a career and a house and adult children who do not live with me. Life is very sad and lonely without my spouse. Even though he spent most of his time at work or in his room talking to people from his own country or otherwise ignoring me, I miss having him around. I like trying new foods, I like practicing speaking Arabic, I like going to play Bingo and I enjoy nature. I'd really like to see the Northern Lights in Canada or Norway one day. I would not mind opening a home business selling Islamic garments one day, but that would have to be after retirement, I suppose. I know I'm a good listener and very supportive of whomever I'm with. I can understand Arabic quite well, but my fluency is poor. Salaam, thank you for reading this rambling paragraph....
