Being Puerto Rican means growing up thinking this was normal. 🇵🇷❤️

A house packed wall to wall.
The smell of amazing food.
Music playing all day.
Abuela making sure everyone eats.
People you haven’t seen in years showing up like they were there yesterday.

Those are the memories that stay with us forever.

What’s the biggest “small family gathering” you’ve ever been to? 😂👇

Who else has a family like this? 🤣👇
