What Home Means to Me

Home is where I can go and feel safe, protected and loved. Home is also where I can go to eat, sleep and watch tv. But really home is a special place to me because when I was 3-4 my house burnt down, I didn't even get to say goodbye. My mom, me, my brother and dad were camping when it burnt down so the firefighters came to our campsite and told us the bad news. My parents left me with my grandma so they could see it to say their last goodbye and they were really sad because it had all of our stuff in there and it had seven floors it was massive but its all gone. After the house burnt down, we were living with friends well we thought they were our friends, so we moved out. Then we went to stay with out grandma for 1-2 years. Then we bought a house it was nice we lived in there for 2-3 years. So, I have had a lot of homes, but they were all special to me, especially the one that burnt down. Home means so much to me and my family. Home is also a place where you can do stuff and your not afraid of someone, there will be no one in your house. So you see home means so much to me that I could go on and one and on, but I will only tell you a little more. Home is where my family is and my pets. It is also where I can go to be alone with no one bugging me. So you see now why I love all my homes that I have had, but the reason I like home so much is because of my family.
