Because Even if You Really Want a Thing, Having it May Not be the Right Thing

 
“Good morning D.  
I realized after the conversation the other night that asking you or anyone else to accept the life I’ve led and therefore me as a possible partner is asking too much. I’ve removed my profile from the app. I’ve done some soul searching and I can’t ask someone to deal with what I have coming up let alone what I carry with me. I’m okay, I’ve adjusted to all I’ve had to deal with, but it’s a lot to ask of other people. My profile states that looking at the world with wonder makes life a much more pleasurable experience because I do look at everything that way. I do it because I’m pretty much experiencing everything for the first time. It’s been a lifetime since I’ve done most everything and the world has changed considerably. For as much as I’d like to share that with someone I don’t think now is the right time. Thank you for your interest. I hope you find your person. I had a lovely time getting to know you the little bit that I did. There will be other women who accept your desires. I hope your visit with your son was what you wished for. Have a spectacular day.”  
 
“Mary, thank you for everything you shared. I respect your decision and understand why you want to wait.”
