I fell in love with a much older woman and I would like some more word of wisdom! Please?!

I fell in love with a much older women. Didn't see it coming from a million miles away. She is not sexy and I was never attracted to her but I fell for her as a person. She was my boss. I sat next to her everyday for two years.I had to find another job because we got to close and it was the healthier thing to do. We talk and have spent some time together with her adopted 4 year old. She knows that I love them both. She tells me that I'm still in my first year of sobriety so she has to wait for my first year to consider anything. She is in AA so those are part of the rules. I stopped drinking for myself by the way. She even asked my mom for approval and my mom didn't have a problem. They are really good friends. She told me that she loves me as a person and even shed tears when she thought she was never going to see me.

Now I know she is insecure about the age gap (27 years). She has been single for 20 years and never had a man love her for her. Do older women finally give in to a much younger man when they know that he really does lover her? I really do and I can't even imagine giving up. Should I give her space? I was thiking of not talking to her for a while and going to see her when my first year of sobriety is up in 4 months and telling her that I'm still in love with her so that she knows I'm for real. PLEASE help ladies. I was always all about looks now I've found someone's inner beauty and I'm attracted to her in every way I love her and never felt this way about anyone.I know what her body would look like without clothes and I don't care. I know thats one of her concerns.
