Home isn't just a House, it's Full of Memories

A house is a building, with a roof, walls, and stairs. But, a home is where you keep your memories. It's not just a house it's where you grew up, your first birthday, where everyone cares. Home is where your mom or dad or maybe grandparents helped you, but a house is just a structure, you don't have any memories of the house but you know what it looks like but you don't have memories, but to a home you have a bunch of memories. People look at houses and call it done. They say “ I built this ‘house’ now let's make another one.” But a home is where you put your belongings, secrets and more, but a house is something you don't know about. Maybe the house has three bathrooms, but you don't know for sure because you’ve never seen the inside before. A house is made with materials, but a home is full of memories. We happily play with friends and family, but houses are for people to buy and live in, it's not like homes are just something you live in, it's where you have your first ever memories as a baby, your first steps, and first time eating food. Thank you for reading!
