The Feeling Of Home

Home isn’t a place, it's a feeling. It’s a feeling where you can be yourself with no worry of what people think. For me home wouldn't be home without a few things... First, Reagan, my mom. My mom is very important to my household. Without her we would be eating nothing good for us, she is the best mom I could ever have. She is extremely important! Next is my dad. Named Shawn. My dad makes me laugh. I love when he goes grocery shopping. He always buys delicious snacks, they’re not very good for you but they taste delicious. He’s so amusing to play cards with, but sometimes I let him win. One of the most important parts of my life is my dog. She is 14 year old, named Emsley. She can barely hear anything, her hips don't work like they used to, and she barely has any teeth left, but I love her. My life wouldn’t be the same without her. Now my brother, Simon. Simon can be very annoying, like if he goes into my room and touches my things. But I love him. Do not tell him I said this, but he is extremely cute. (He doesn't like it when people say he's cute.) Now I’m going to talk about my favorite stuffed animal. Her name is Bunny, and do you know what? She’s a Bunny! I’ve had her since when I was two. This one is very personal, Jemima. Jemima was a fish that I loved, and I still do. I got her when I was 5, she died when I was 8. It was surprising she lived that long, I never fed her. But she is still very important. And that is my home! And that is all the words I have.
