Home Sweet Home

Welcome to my home a special place that sometimes people don’t understand like the things I hear in my home is the sound of my dad, sister, and my mother saying welcome in our home language where we can say our language freely and celebrate our festival like Diwali were we burn a Diya and say happy Diwali and more and the things I smell is the food my mom makes where I smell the food till the hallway and I quickly guess what is she making in our home. And the best part is the food my mom makes. I love my mom's food. The homemade food is better than the outdoor food and the way she cooks is like a MasterChef but not the way she cooks like a MasterChef. The taste of the food she makes is also like a MasterChef. And when she makes my favorite dish I hug her and say thank you and when I hug her I feel so good that I forget every bad thing that happened to me that day. And from that my day gets ten times better. When I get home I see my mom reaching out her hand to make my day a better day and saying welcome in our language and then I took off to my bedroom and I can see a lot of things but the best thing I can see is paintings on the wall that represent a memories to me and my parents, and my sister. When I enter my home I feel that a huge weight has come off me and then I go to my room and say it is a perfect place to take out my emotions when I am sad, angry, and etc. I am thankful for having a home like others. Some don’t have a home . That's sad for them but I am grateful for having a home and a family. I am thankful for having a home.
