I must be honest about this. I pray that I will find a wonderful, special woman with a deep pool of love and understanding. I have a youthful attitude and appear to be younger than my 74 years. I am healthy except for one important thing. I have a lung disease called emphysema. i'm fine sitting down, lying down, or standing still. But moving around, walking, climbing stairs are difficult. Emphysema is a progressive disease and, at least for now, incurable. My mind is sharp, I can have a sex life and I can do many things, but I need someone who can love me despite my problem. If my life is shortened, I will see that my wife is taken care of financially.
