I'm a mother of 4 married children, grandmother of 9. I've been married for 45 years and we are both retired and loving it. We are very lucky overall in our life. We have had some sorrow with family and unexpected deaths which is one of the reasons I watch the show. It is our faith that has held us up through the rough times and also gives us many reasons to smile. We are a very average family that great wealth is not a part of, but part of a large and loving family, and a great circle of friends.
