Home is not just a building or a place, It’s the feeling of happiness and love. It’s a feeling of safety with your family. Home is where I can be myself. Home is the neighbourhood I grew up in, the beautiful birds chirping all day and night on a warm summer day, the joy of people playing in the local park, the smell of my mom’s famous butter chicken that was just freshly made, the smiles on everyone’s faces as we laugh and joke around together as a family. Home is when I can be myself no matter what. Home is the beautiful trees and flowers around me, the amazing breeze that passes through me, the wildlife that fills the forests, all the leaves changing colours, the 4 seasons that are so interesting to see and the flowers that grow the same every spring. When I look at the photos on display, I’m thankful for all of the memories we created each day. Home is wherever I am and when I’m surrounded by all the things that I love. Home will always follow me anytime I’m with the people I love the most. Home always will have a special place in my heart and it will always stay like that.
