After my accident life inevitably changed dramatically. I've lost more & more independence as ive got older. I was in a bit of a rut but after my son (and his daughter actually) persuaded me to give internet dating a whirl I havent really looked back. It hasnt changed my life or anything, but for a small amount of money each month ive had my faith in humanity restored. It's not the physical things you crave as you get older (although it is nice to have a cuddle!), it's the interaction and stimulation you get from having a good friend or partner is what's important to me. People think as you get older you dont need that stuff, but it's always been high on my agenda and now ive found a place where I can talk or even meet with people who are in the same boat, so to speak.
