That's the meaning of home

Once there was a builder. A builder made a house. That same builder made a special place just for me. When I walk in my house I remember that time I stubbed my toe so hard I started to cry. My house is a place where I can cry. When I walk in the kitchen I look over to see my family playing a game. Then I remember when I got mad when i lost at a game a couple years ago. My house is a place where I can be mad. When you walk a bit further into the living room I see the family photo from four years ago where I had a smile as big as my face so I had a little laugh. My house is a place where I can laugh. If you walk down the hall and turn to my room, I remember when my baby cousin was with me and we were having a dance party. That was very fun. My house is a place where I can have fun. A bit further down the hall is the bathroom. That is the place I felt so good because I didn't have to use the stepstool any more. So I felt proud. My house is a place where I can feel proud. If you take a few more steps you will get to my parents' room. I remember that time I was scared of the storm so I slept in their bed. My house is a place where I can be scared. If you go downstairs and look to the right thats the mini stick room right there. I felt so good about myself because I beat my brothers in mini sticks. My house is a place where I can feel good about myself. When I go to the art room I look and see the painting I painted a long time ago. It was a dinosaur. It didn't look that pretty but it was a memory. Everything is a memory that I made in my house. Whether I am sad, mad, laughing, having fun, feeling proud, scared, feeling amazing. I have my family by my side. That's the meaning of home. Being with my family and making tons of memories. My house is the holder of the memories.
