Big Home of Memories

What could home mean to you? For me home means all the memories that i lived with and all the small details, some will think a home is just a shelter with 4 walls or a small room. I remember when me and my family went to my grandmother’s house in Palestine, it was a night over and i was excited because all my cousins are going also to my grandma. at first when we arrived we kissed my grandma’s hands that means respectful and kind, we slept and when i woke up and i needed to get ready for salah aljumm’ah which means the pray of friday it’s a worship for allah which is god, after i finished praying we returned back me and my cousins to my grandma’s house. When we returned we got to help our uncle with the lunch he makes rice and lamb or mandi which is traditional palestinian food and to make it you need a hole and you put woods inside the hole and then you fire it and in a pan you put the lamb and rice and you just leave it until it’s done, at the end when we finish eating. I helped my uncle with the trees because there was a garden at my grandma’s house. At the end when I finished helping me and my family start packing up to go to our house, we said goodbye to my grandma and I thanked my grandma for everything. That’s why home for me is something important and loyal. Even if bad memories were on I'll be happy and glad and all these memories are just the beginning and I believe that there will be good memories and good days.
