Meaning of Home

Here is what I think the meaning of home is. Home is a place to make memories, feel loved, and etc. Some things I feel that make me happy while I am at home are family celebrations, food, relaxing, and having fun. Whenever I think about home, food comes to mind. When I ask my Mom what's for dinner, and she says it’s my Grandma’s Mexican food, I get super happy. Or, when I open the snack drawer in the kitchen and I see something I like. My birthday cake every year is super delicious. Another thing that comes to mind is family celebrations! My family celebrates Ramadan and Eid! And they make me super happy. On the first day of Ramdan, I get up hungry but remember that I can’t eat until sunset. On Eid, my family gets wonderful presents from each other. So those are reasons why family celebrations come to mind. But there is something that comes to mind that makes me most happy is relaxing and having fun. Those things are my favourite because I love to relax. Examples of relaxing are sleeping, lying down in bed, and having a movie night with blankets. I love sleeping. Some examples for having fun are playing with your friends, sleeping, and eating with your family. I like eating with my family because I love them. Playing with friends is also very fun. That is why relaxing and having fun are my favourite things. I learned that it takes time to love your new home. If you move into a new house, you may think that your old home would’ve been better to stay at than your new home, and you may miss your old home. But, the more time you spend making memories with your family there, it would be just like your old home, filled with love and joy. I learned that sometimes family doesn’t always last forever. So please, love and spend time with your family and loved ones. Home isn’t just a normal place, it’s a place to spend time with your family and make memories with them.
