Grandchildren: 1
I have one grandson by my daughter Sabina. He will be four this summer. He is very athletic and loves anything with the word "ball" in it. I also have thirteen step-grandchildren and four step-great-grandchildren. It is truly difficult to keep up with all of them.

Career: I ended up in the medical field, starting out working for an insurance company that processes medical bills. I then got into billing medical for various facilities and physicians. I eventually became a medical transcriptionist, but that all came in an end in 2004 when I suffered a stroke and was not able to return to work.

5 Years from now...
Watching the waves in the Gulf of Mexico from my house.
