Home the 4 walls that enclose the right people

Home is where the heart is. It’s where when you walk the halls you’ll find pictures and pictures of loved ones holding each other with love. It’s where when you gaze into those pictures, you’ll see fun joyful memories. It’s where the wars with my brother happen even though we know peace will be restored and there will always be forgiveness. It's where I feel the warm embrace of my mom’s hugs and her soft kisses hitting my cheek. It always brightens my day. It’s also where my cozy bed and special blanket lie. It’s the blanket that I got when I was born with my name and date of birth on it. It’s the blanket that I brought to my first day of daycare that will and has always been kept safe. Home is where I run into the kitchen as I smell the delicious food my mom cooks as I munch on my sweet treat. It’s where I feel my dad’s fingers running against me. I start to giggle which turns into a joyful laugh. Right beside me lies my brother, as I hear his annoying but silly laughter. It’s where I run into my family’s arm’s and know I’m safe and never alone. My home is full of love and laughter. Home is where my heart is. Thank you Habitat for Humanity for helping people find the right home.
