Home Sweet Home

Home is... Home is the sound of music playing, it is the sound of my dog barking at anyone he sees. It is the sound of me and my family talking about our day. It's the sound of me and my sisters arguing. Home is the smell of my sister's perfume. It is the smell of my mom's delicious roasted chicken and potatoes, cooking in the oven. It is the smell of wet dog after my dog ran out in the rain. Home is the taste of hot cocoa, after me and my sisters played in the snow. It’s the taste of my favorite tomato sauce pasta. It is the taste of pita bread baking in the oven. It is the taste of me and my sister's baking cookies on a chilly night. Home is the sight of my sisters laughing, my dog running outside. It is the sight of having fun, being together. Spending quality time. Going for hikes, baking. Cooking as a family. Home is the feeling of warm hugs, feeling loved. Home is the feeling of knowing your cared for. It is the feeling of comfort. The feeling of safety. The feeling of reassurance, it is the feeling of happiness. Even though there are some sad times. It is the feeling of not having to worry. Home means a lot of different things. It is very important, and I am very grateful to have a home. Thank you, Habitat for Humanity, for doing this.
