Fantastic Home

Home is not a place nor a feeling nor an object. Home is something in your heart. Home would not be home unless there were the people you love inside of it. Home is not made of concrete or brick; it is made of the memories that you have inside of it or the love you share in it. That is what home is to me. Home is not a home unless you share it with people you love. It’s the feeling you have when you are having a family game night and all your family is doing is laughing and having a great time. I love the feeling when my family sits down and starts playing Monopoly or Family Canadian trivia. We wouldn’t be able to do that without my home. That is my favourite thing about home. Home is the place where I can go to unwind and relax and get away from noise. Home is the place where I can express my feelings with my family and think about my life. When I am at home, I love that I can come inside and be warm after playing road hockey with my friends or hanging out in the snow with my brother. When a family member got Covid and my whole family had to isolate, I thought I was going to be bored and it wasn’t going to be fun, but after a few days, I felt so happy to be spending time with my family and feeling the warmth of my house. I felt calm and relaxed. I love home and I think everyone should be able to love it too. That’s why I wish everyone could have a home like mine and feel the warmth and love of it.
