Home is Home

Home. I love home. Home is where your memories are kept. All your family reunions are held in your house. Love is in your kitchen, it is where my family cooks and where we eat fun desserts. I love the gooey goodness of all the food! I hear the wonderful sizzle of the food that my dad makes. I love the taste of my food! Home is home, nothing beats home. It is where my family is! Every day when I get home my dad is cooking for me and my family. I mostly like the smell of my grandma's famous apple pie! As I hear my food sizzle in the pan my family cheers and says “To new beginnings!” When I'm moving I feel scared to see brown boxes of stuff! I see the notes on the boxes that say fragile. I get scared again thinking about what is fragile. I think is it more fragile than me? All the brown boxes are overwhelming! When people knock at our door, I get scared that it might be a salesman who is trying to sell our home. When I see my grandma's knitting, it reminds me of my old house. I feel the softness of my grandma's knitting. It reminds me of her old quilt that she made at our house. It looked pretty pink and purple and blue. That quilt was made with my grandma's love and it smells like our old house. Every day she goes on and on without sleeping and doing the quilt. My family is not like anyone else’s. Nothing beats fun game night at our home. On movie nights I am calm while we watch movies at our home. When I wake up I tiptoe slowly to our living room to watch some tv. When I get excited to see my family for the first time in our house. It is fun to hug and show around our home. When I go to someone else's house I get anxious. When people try to convince us to buy a random house that is not mine I feel scared. I see the different walls. It is so tight and I get noxious. It doesn't feel right. I want to stay at our home! I never want to move to a different house. I want to stay in my home. I love my home and I never want to leave my home. I have changed houses 4-6 times. It was really hard for me and it was my first time traveling across the world for my mom’s work. I hope I will always stay in my house and it will never go away in my heart.
