Grandpa V.

My last living grandparent is my mother’s father, Santiago Vazquez. He remains in good health even in his eighties. Good health runs in his family genes. His father and his father’s father also lived well into their nineties. I know him as the strong silent type, a man of a few words. But I think it’s because he’d rather speak in his native language, Spanish. Still, he has a vibrant spirit. In his youth in Puerto Rico he was Boxer, and it shows when he dances. He incorporates boxing moves with his dance moves. It’s fun to watch. I hope to see him again before his health begins to fail him.
