I am 52 years old, and a mother and grandmother. My daughter is 29, and she has a 3-year old daughter whom I love more than life itself. So, 3 years ago I became a grandma, and despite my worries about being old, it's the greatest thing to ever happen to me. Now, I am with the love of my life and about to get married for the first time!! I am from the SF Bay Area (all my life) and work as a legal secretary for the past 30+ years.
