Far Away From Home

Home means to me my mom and dad and two sisters waiting for me after school. My dad works far away so when he leaves I am very sad. For the last two years, I was away from home because of a flood and two fires. During the last evacuation, it was very sad. I was away for five weeks but I was with people who love me and I love them. When I came back from the evacuation it was very sad because everything was different but my house survived the fire. I am very thankful for the firefighters who saved our town. Thank you Habitat of Humanity for building homes for people who need them.
