Hello Annetjie, Thanks for taking out time to send me your email on be2.. Once again I was very happy to have read from you. I''m hoping that this email gets to you before we can share more about ourselves, I want to be sure the right person gets this email...lol Kindly send a reply to let me know as soon as you read this...Until then, do have a wonderful weekend. Cheers, Richard.

Hello Annetjie, Many thanks for your email, I 'm pleased to have met you on be2 and I hope we get to learn more about each other soon.. I'm Richard Edgar by the way (last name Edgar), I am originally from Canada but I spent almost all my life growing up in England. I only moved here recently for contract talks and negotiation but already thinking of relocating here because of the beautiful city and warm people. I have also leaved in America but for a short stay. My Dad is from Canada and my Mum is Brazilian. I spent some years growing up in Canada because my dad worked for a construction company over there. After my masters in oil and gas I went ahead to work for an oil company in Canada for ten years before I relocated back to England. So I have a blend of various cultures and ways of living. I am here with my son who's 9 years old in few days but it is quite unfortunate that there is no one to call mummy since I lost my wife 3 years ago. They say the good things come to those who wait. I have waited for three years for a woman. What make me happy are the simple things of life. I must say truthfully that I'm completely new to online dating.....lol... I must say thank you again for your email, I do appreciate it a lot. When you've actually lived, I think you realize it's the simple things that really matters, and the quiet in-between moments that help define happiness. I've had what I consider a wonderful life all these years and have so far 'lived fully', however that being said I've also had a few bad times. I've lost friends and family, I've seen plenty of hardship & suffering in my World so I appreciate what I do have and don't sweat the small stuff.

Well life has a way of cutting short the joy someone has... I can only say I miss my late wife and I'm not looking for a replacement but willing to start a new chapter of my life with the hope of finding love more than I've ever felt with anyone, leaving my past behind and moving on to find happiness in someone else because no one on earth would live for eternity... rather we hope to live long and see our children's- children living in happiness so we can finally die having great thoughts of a successful life at old age.

I'm driven by the creativity around me as a person, hard-working, generous, kind, considerate, compassionate and ethical- I always try to do the right thing-even though that's usually the more difficult path there but for the Grace of God - these are words that I always keep in mind, and do my utmost best to live by. Love to laugh and make jokes (really, who doesn't?), hearing others do so brings me great joy. Few things make me smile more than hearing the unrestrained laughter of children. I’m in favor of quality over quantity, in all aspects of my life. I've had the opportunity of traveling round most European countries and a few Asian countries as my job takes me around as a Petroleum Geologist (Bsc Geology and Msc Petroleum Engineering), I buy, Develop and Sell Crude Oil, at the moment I am in the process of opening a Petroleum Oil and Gas Company. I love cars and I have a weakness for shirts and shoes when shopping. I love music, movies, sports, and trying out new experiences in life. I love my son and I am open to whatever my Partner wants; if you already have one/some that's great. Writing about one's self is not really easy you know...at the moment this is all I can remember....lol... You seem like a really sweet individual, I hope we get to be really good friends for a start and i get to read from you again soon also.

The life quote i love so much goes this way in saying... '' tomorrow is a gift and a mystery waiting to be unveiled, that's why we call today present'' Hoping to hear from you soon and do have a lovely week ahead... Your Admirer, Richard

Hello Annetji, Thanks for your lovely reply. I must say that you are correct in your email. I good to hear about your son and to know they are both married now is wonderful and embracing. Mine is just 9 and his name is Larry. Thanks for talking about his mom, but that is past of my life now and I am starting a new chapter of my life now. Hmmmm.... Supply chain, that a part of industry I have loved and would want to know off when I am finally done with my company establishment. From all you have said in your email we share similar trait though. I have been here in SA negotiating with your Government on how to set up my company here. At the moment, we have not been able to conclude as we are still going through negotiation stages. I hope we finalize soonest because I have a business proposal that demand my attention in Aberdeen and I will be going over soonest, hoping to have this finalize before going so as I can know when coming back is to settle down and start my life here while I concentrate on my company establishment as well as a new chapter of my life with you should we be able to work this between our self. A joyful heart they say is the best medicine that heals the soul. I am always happy and smiling like you and always full of joy and positiveness within me. Honesty and truthfulness is the way I have been brought up and that has been my way I lived all my life. May be we should give cuddles to my Parents for all of that.lol.... I hope you had a lovely night rest and woke up to a beautiful day. Everyday is a gift, you should please accepts yours. I will appreciate a picture from you as I have attached mine to this email. Speak again to you soon. Cheers.

Hello Ann, Thanks for your emails. Both where very interesting. When ever I remember our first chat I just smile and think about you. I see you had another busy but fulfilled day. Mine has not been that different from your as well, as I have been on this Proposal review all day and now planning to see an expatriate that can help look over the depth of my sketches to see if I am in order in order to stand chances of securing the contract. What a wonderful beginning to a new chapter of my life! me finding you, chatting online, confessing my feelings and emotions, and then it happens all over again. The feelings that I’ve felt for you all along begin to resurface. Only this time, I am free to act on them without fear of upsetting anyone. lol..... Thank you. lol.... What more can a man say to the woman who opened her heart to him, allowing him to feel the warmth of her love across the great distance that separates them? You truly have no idea what I feel for you. I try to put this feeling into words, but fail miserably. This feeling of being both scared and at peace, of having both butterflies and a sense of calm, is a feeling that I have only dreamed about. As the days continue to pass, my desire to have you and love you continues to grow. I never thought I had the capacity to feel about anybody as much as I am feeling for you right now. Yet, my desire to have you and love for you continues to mature, growing beyond the realm of my heart. It seems that you have become the fiber of my soul, the very reason for my existence. I have no other words to describe the way you make me feel. No words, no actions could even come close. I believe that Ronald Regan said it best to Nancy in a letter, telling her only that, "I more than love you". Their love was a strong love, surviving everything, even death. I believe that even after his passing, Nancy felt Ronald's love for her raining down upon her. That is why she has always seemed at peace after the death of such a truly loving husband. That is the feeling I have for you Ann. Forever Yours, Xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo Richard

Good morning, Hope you jad a nice dream last night or in the early morning. I have realised there is times that the hour of the day or night may play with a person subconscious - our dream factory may influence if it is good or bad. I really appreciate your e-mail. Especially the bird part. You may ask me anything you would like to know and I will send you the answer. I can not promise that it will be the answer you would like the read.hear. There is always surprises in life. I have saved your photo on my computer, sothat i could make some sense out of this man. So you are looking at me know while I am typing this letter. I am in for one 8 o'clock meeting. My own performce meeting and then I have the day to finalised the imports/export tender. My deadline for the adjudication is 1 August 2013. So I cant keep these companies anly longer in suspence. Sounds like a thriller. I think you can relate to it. All the best for today and may it be a good one for Larry as well. Be good. Bye xoxoxoxoxoxoxo XXX PS: When will you be back?

I am back in the office. Just worked through all my e-mails and found you here as well. You were up very late or very early.
How are you doing there over the sea? I was very privilege to read your e-mail 3 times. First on my phone, then on my own e-mail account, which I clean every morning, and now on my works e-mail. This time I have received it in time. Just by writing the word time, put my thoughts to your e-mail. Very true all of it.
What is time in a heart beat you can ask, or is it possible to measure?
I agree with you. TIME does not wait for any of us. Young and old.
My one friend said to me, from the day you were conceived, from that day onwards, you are preparing to die. It sounded very cruel at the time, but yes it is true. That is just the reality of life. BUT we are alive now and therefore we must embrace it with both hands, and don't drop the ball. I will talk to you tonight if you send me a message. Last night was just another night, so I decided to get into bed early and before I know it I was asleep. That is me, when I sleep I sleep. I would not say I have wasted days or wasted nights.
I make every effort to enjoy each one. The good and the bad. The bad is later not so bad and you can laugh about it, if you have the courage to do that. I don't think much of the things I have done wrong or right. I can only improve. Have a sunny day.Bye for now. XXX
