What Home Means To Me

Home is the place where family grows and memories spread. My name is Ava and I would like to share with you what home means to me, Home is a place where love is held and made into memories. When I move from house to house I remember the memories me and my family had in those homes.I just moved months ago and i usually take walks with my dog near my old house, when i pass it its like breathing in all the old memories that were most special to me. I walk past my house remembering when I learned to ride a bike, or my first time making a cake, Oh! Here's a good one: my little brother was walking out of my room when forgot he closed the door! He walked into the door and he fell on the ground. It was silent for a bit but then we both broke out in laughter! That was funny! When I'm at home I feel like I am in a safe place. It feels like there is a barrier between the world and my home that no danger could ever touch. Danger is the forbidden word in my house! When i'm in my house, I'm not scared of anything. Well, maybe there's one thing, we will all probably agree that when you need to get something from the basement for your parents and you like in grade 3-6 we all know that gives you the chills,Haha! But there is just something about being at home that makes you feel safe. Well everybody knows that when you live in your house there is your family to be there with you! Family is always there to guide you through life, they would always love to help you with things you are stuck on. Family is alway there when you need them, because they are always on your side. Family are the people you need to go to when things are going wrong. Family are the people you go to when you get hurt.family is are the people that you need in your life to succeed. Even if you don't have a good relationship with them there is no possible way that you are not in one way in a good relationship with your parents, or any other family members. The biggest thing you would find in your house is love. because love is one of the things that your family gives you the most: your parents, your sister, your brother, your grandma! Love is something that grows and grows and grows. and sometimes our love can go to a new member in the family, like a dog or a new sibling! But no matter what, everybody in the family brings love to one another and nothing will ever change that. Love is like a chain that goes on for centuries! And love can start the family to grow, and there is nothing that can break love between you and your family. Your home. Every time you come home from work or school, your home is always there. A lot of people are very grateful for their home and on thanksgiving that is a thing on the top of the list because your home is the thing that keeps you warm and cozy at night. You always have your house to keep you where you want to be. Happiness is everywhere because you are in your house. To me, being at home in my bed drinking hot chocolate makes me feel happy, going home to my doh makes me happy watching a movie in my home makes me happy! But the thing that makes me happy the most is, being in my house with my brother, mom, and my dad we are all in one blanket in the movie room and we watch a movie together. Our home makes us feel happy. Home is something that makes almost all the people in the world happy. Happiness is everywhere. but the most happiness is in your home, with your family, in your dining room talking about your day and laughing and things you did in the past. Those are the happiest times for me, how about you? There is one thing i think that so many people do not have and so many people are so grateful for. It's food, food is something we have that so many people don't and so many people want to change that. Changing that would mean world hunger would end but then that's looking into the future. Our home keeps so much food for us and keeps it safe in the fridge of the cabinet. And when you go in your fridge looking for something to eat, just remember that food is something that your home keeps nice and fresh for you to eat and not starve. Your home has the love you need and the food you need to survive and people are so grateful for that I am I hope you are too. When I go home the most special thing to me comes up and gives me a great but welcome home. It's my dog, my dog is the sweetest thing you could ever see! He has hazel eyes and brown fur, and get this, he is a sheepadoodle! Normally sheepadoodles are not brown, but there is such a thing and they are pretty rare! But to me, my dog's fur is not the only thing that is rare about him. He is the sweetest he will ever be when you are sad, he is loyal and always loves to play! He made you laugh sometimes when he chased after squirrels in our backyard. He is always ready to do a trick for a treat! And his favorite meal is dinner because he gets his wet food mixed in with it. He used to scarf it down but now that he knows that we eat dinner at the same time as him and he now turned into a smart dog who wants to wait until we are don't out of food so he gets the leftovers mixed into his food as well my dad thinks it a bit excessive. Home to me is a safe place, a loved place, a place where I have food, a pace where I have happiness, a place where I can be me.
