The Feeling of Home

Not everyone can have the real feeling of home, precious feeling of family and of comfort in their home. Some people think that home is just a structure when they look at it from the outside. They have to look deep inside to see what home is. Home is not a structure or building that's made out of bricks and cement, it’s a feeling that’s precious and strong. There is a magic sense of love and joy which is the best part of having a special home. When I feel uncomfortable I look back to my home. I can’t have a feeling of home and the magic sense if I don’t have a family or someone that cares about me or I care about. I can have freedom and do whatever with no one telling me what to do. I will remember the times when my whole family ate breakfast, lunch and dinner together. My home is special because it’s safe and protective. No one can enter without knocking unless they are part of my family and have a key. It’s precious because it includes my family and me who built it to be precious. Precious and strong isn’t just the only word that I can describe my home. It has lots of memories that stay through the walls of the room. Some were funny, some were sad, happy and emotional. I have wonderful memories I can’t let go of. It’s really hard to say goodbye when you're moving. Not all people have the feeling of a special home.
