With a culture so obsessed with youth, a young Clairemont minister wondered -- what's it like to grow old?
Turns out, she knew exactly who to ask about so many personal questions she had about aging, love, hope and sex.
Lydia Sohn is a wife and mother of two small children. She
interviewed her parishioners who are double and triple her age.
She posted what she discovered in a blog post that went viral.
