Great Grandma Rivera


Jamon's Grandma Rose, from Puerto Rico, is turning 99 years old this March. She is probably not 5 feet tall and only takes one blood pressure pill!! I think she is a little go getter who laughs hystarically all the time. Jamon swears she used to be a little mean, but I'm sure it has nothing to due with the fact the he punched her in the face when he was little.

Recently, Grandma has moved into a "facility" and we were able to visit her there over Christmas. She was so excited to see us, she was rambling on in Spanish and laughing a lot. Avery was a little freaked out but Taylor recited her whole "Christmas Poem" to every sitting the Activities Room and got a round of applause.

Jamon's sister Rori and his Aunt Margie are planning a 99th Birthday Party the first week in March and we decided we will drive over. I think it amazing that she a lived for 99 years. I can't really imagine living that long...but I think everyone should do it! Happy Birthday Grandma!
