Date men and women from United States / Arkansas / Searcy, 64 year old

Date single man from Searcy, United States. Maybe there is a chance to be happy again. I have been married twice. First time for twelve years and was blessed to have a wonderful daughter who has given me three grandchildren. She has made life worth living again. After my divorce I had no intention of marrying again, it was that bad. But after thirteen years the Lord brought in to my life a wonderful woman. We met on a blind date and one year later to the day we were married. We lived and loved, fought and made up. The next ten years were the happiest of my life. I was truly blessed. She was a true partner. She was my best friend ever. With her my life took on a new meaning and together we built a good, happy and fulfilling life together. But for some reason she was taken from me along with my dad in a terrible and tragic accident. There is nothing in my life that is the same.
My life is different now. Earlier (and since the accident) I thought I was ok. I was not. The loss was still affecting me emotionally much more than I thought. The strain and stress of the legal problems have turned out to be worse than I would have believed. The dealing with the lawyers has been another kind of hell. But, I have come to grips with the problems in dealing with them and am now not letting them drive my life.
I’m ok, but something is missing. I have learned that next to God family is the most important thing in my life. But there is something that was wonderful missing. Maybe, just maybe, there is a second chance at happiness. So, can I be so blessed again? We’ll see. I miss sharing life with someone you care for.
I have been widowed for over four years now. I am Semi-retired having retired from the military and from law enforcement.Currently have and run my own business which allows me to travel. I am an aerial photographer and travel all over the US and the Caribbean. I am 5'10", 175 lbs., and in excellent health despite the surgery’s since the accident. Enjoy dining out, the theatre, dancing, movies, floating the Buffalo, Lake Ouachita, and the Bahamas (would love to move there). Favorite towns are Dallas, Chicago, and Marsh Harbor (Bahamas). Politically conservative Independent. I have been told I am generous, considerate and romantic, but can be temperamental. I believe a man should be a gentleman and a women a lady in temperament and behavior.
The person in my life will be a woman who is and acts mature, must be intelligent and independent (but still likes to have the door opened for her), open minded but opinionated. Must have a strong faith. Likes to have fun and be adventurous. Believes friendship is a vital component to a long term relationship. Can be comfortable in either jeans or a gown. Likes to be around children/ grandchildren yet still prizes and values her private time for herself. Has the ability (situational) for both short term (two or three days) and occasional long term (30 days) travel. NOT looking for drama. Can be a social drinker but must be drug / smoke free as I do not partake of either (although I love a glass of wine with the steak).
