The Meaning of Home

I have lived in 3 homes so far but the home I live in right now is the one I feel most comfortable in but I have many memories from the others like once when I was two me and my sister played a puzzle game where you had to make pairs of two of these little cards with tiny pictures of things like a horse or a car and my sister would hold out one of the cards and tell me to find the other one. Another memory I have is when I went to Bangladesh and stayed at my uncle's house. I threw a bouncy ball out the window and my older cousin gave me a death stare every time I was with her for the remainder of the trip. When I lived in an apartment I remember there was a mouse who really liked peanut butter in the lobby room of the apartment and sometimes he would stare at me like I was supposed to bring him peanut butter. Another time when I was 7 living in my current house I went into the basement to look for a car that I left down there when suddenly from the closet I heard a thump that sent a shiver down my spine. I bolted up the stairs as fast as I could and asked my sister to come down with me. As we descended down the stairs and towards the closet I still felt scared thinking what monster could be in the closet. There was only a blanket that fell, I breathed a sigh of relief. That brings us to the present day where I'm living comfortably in my house.
