A Home and House Just Like Mine

A home should feel like a warm hug that never let's go. Like you can be worry free. I can call my house my home, I hope you can too. If something goes wrong, I always have a home to go back to. A home has my family to pick me up on a bad day. Just like mine. A home should not feel like nothing is safe or that you should go to a different home. It definitely shouldn't feel like a storm with clouds that follow you around wherever you go. Not even like a war movie with a scary ending. A house should be a place to protect you from a cold winter storm with sturdy walls and a hard floor. Pictures that stay on your walls which remind me of a long time ago. There is my bed with blankets that keep me warm in the coldest winters and a fan to cool me down on a hot summer day. Just like mine. A house should not be a place with holes in the roof or bumps in the floor. A house shouldn’t have no room for your family or no space period. A house should not have bugs or bees. A home should be like mine with the amazing smell of bacon on the stove in the morning. It should feel like a cozy heated blanket close to the fireplace. Just like mine. A house should be like mine with an awesome backyard and rooms. Iach one of my family members get their own room with lots of privacy but I like sleeping with my sister. My house should have running water warm and cold. Just like mine I hope everybody has a nice home just like mine and I want to thank Habitat for Humanity for giving me a chance to give a family a home just like mine.
