Home is a very special place for me. One of the most important things about home for me is my family.My family is important to me because they turn my house into a home. I think that a house is not a home until there are people living in it and it is a happy place to be.My family makes my house a happy and fun place to be.My family includes me, my brother, my dad, my mom and my dog. Another important quality about home is memories.My brother and I have lived in our home all our lives.My parents bought our house 15 and a half years ago.We have lived here for a many years, so there are a lot of memories.Memories from when my brother and I were little ,Christmases throughout the years and from living in Covid and the lockdown.There are happy memories, sad memories ,special memories, memories. Safety and Comfort go together , if it is not safe it does not feel as comfortable. Comfort is when something is warm and cozy, not cold and uncomfortable. Comfort is laying on a couch reading a book, knowing that you’re safe,you’re not in danger and that you can be you. Home should not be a place that you dread going to, but a happy, fun and cozy space to relax in. That is why home is so special to me.
