Home is where my heart is

I have a house, in my house I have future dog supplies, art supplies, books, toys, furniture, electricity and all those sorts of stuff but that’s not what matters most to me, it’s not only the stuff you buy, it’s what a home comes with. A home is more than things you buy it’s family, my mom, my dad, my grandparents and pets, memories, the things you’ve done in your life, even if there bad, you might not like them but there in you forever. Safety, love, laughter, the sound in all homes and tears, like you know that time when I was petting Baillie, my dog, he died but he’s in my heart and when I used to hug my parents, I don’t do that anymore but it’s in my heart. I know that home isn’t things you buy even though you love that stuff but it’s mainly you, your family, memories, love, safety, laughter and tears, that is what a home is made of.
