A loving home

I always thought a house and a home is a building you live in. This project got me understanding that a house is a building and a home is a place you love. My home has 3 things that are important to me, memories, family and shelter. Without these 3 things my house wouldn't feel like a home to me. Memories, I could write all the memories that I had in my home but I'll tell you only 3. I remember the day my mom brought home my dog prince from the airport. He was so little and shy but he was the sweetest thing. I was the first to see him because there was a blanket on the cage and mom couldn't see him. Every year we try to go to Colombia to see my relatives because they all live there so we don't get to see them that much. Last memorie i'm going to say is the time we had to move house. My siblings did not want to move but we're just moving house. I still have a home. I have lots of memories of my home; these are just a few. Family to me is really important. Without family my life would be incomplete. Without my mom, dad, sister,brother and dog I would be sad. I help my family with lots of things. We're always there for eachother and have our backes. My brother annoys me so much but no matter what i still love him. My sister doesn't like to talk to me but I know deep down in her heart she loves me even if she doesnt show it. My mom works hard to feed us the same with my dad. My family is everything to me and I'm grateful to have all of them. Shelter is really important and everyone should have shelter and a home. I'm very lucky to have a mom and dad who works just for my family and I can have a roof over our head and food on the table. Every family should have shelter but some are more lucky than others. Home for humidity helps people get a head start for finding a home. These 3 things are important for me because I can feel at home. Walls, floors, furniture do not make up a home to me. Memories, family and shelter is what makes a house a home. Different people feel different things in a home. This essay explains what a home means to me.
