The Meaning of My Home. Home Means You’re Always a Winner

We have had many renovations in my home. Some I may not like but it wouldn’t be my home if the wall hasn’t had been painted over a hundred times. Or when we shift the house around, so it feels like a new home for me and my family. I know this has happened more than once, when something happens, you regret or think you cannot undo, we know that when we have a caring family, it only a minor mistake. When a no is a no, and a yes is a yes and a maybe is a maybe or there’s time for this and still no time for the other thing, but family always has an infinite place in your heart. So, cancel your plans to make even better ones with the people you love. This quote is by a hope to be a writer called me. When the fire turns on in the winter and we are all outside sitting by the fire as a family, all I can think about is the warmth and the burning smell of fire logs. And before I know it my mom leaves and goes gets a smores kit. This happens when my mom sneaks off to make a better memory then it already is. When I am cooking the marshmallows, the gooey, melting white part starts to turn golden and I slide it on to the graham cracker and the chocolate. As I put it in my mouth and as I chew, I taste the crunch I crave and the gooey marshmallow that sticks to my teeth and the melted chocolate from the hot marshmallow. Thank you, Habitat, for Humanity for giving families a future they need and giving hope to those in need. So really, thank you.
