Go on the internet and search.&#8221; I looked at hundreds of ladies until I found someone who&#8217;s interested in me. My youngest sister suggested I try a Christian dating site, so I joined Christian Filipina. I found a lady and sent her a wink; to my surprise, she called! We talked twice a day for over two months. I told Rhodora that I couldn&#8217;t commit over the phone, so I went to visit her and her family. I truly enjoyed those 28 days. On her birthday, I asked Rhodora to marry me, and she said yes! I returned to Minnesota on March 16. We still talk two or three times every day, and in October, I returned to Rhodora\u2019s home for another 29 days. Our love has only grown stronger each day. Thank you, Christian Filipina, for helping me find the love of my life! \u2764\ufe0f\u2764\ufe0f\u2764\ufe0f<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Gary and Rhodora, Remer, Minnesota, United States<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I had been a widower for about 1 1\/2 years when my two daughters said, &#8220;Dad, it&#8217;s time for you to find happiness again.
