My beautiful stepmother and handsome father were not involved in my life at all but in being socially prominent, they didn't even contribute money to my grandparents. I lived then with my grandfather, a retired policeman who I loved and who died when I was 18. I was a serious kid who studied hard and worked after school and met the love of my life at 18. Sweetie has made my life so wonderful as we raised two beautiful daughters of very different abilities. We worked hard and had the usual sadness and some serious illnesses and we saved and hoped for the best. I was raised Lutheran and became Catholic when I was 18 and have not continuously attended Church. My faith comes and goes, but I am respectful of the solace and hope religion can bring.

I am very happy to be where I am with my treasured Sweetie and our dear daughter Helene.

It wasn't a Leave it to Beaver life, but pretty darn good for a little girl from the south side of Columbus, Ohio.
Gracie, I find it amazing how people jump to conclusions about others that they know nothing about. It seems especially easy on annoynomus forums.
Thank you for sharing your story.
