Good Memories

Good Memories By: Quinn Home to me is not just four walls it is where my family is. I have 5 siblings, 3 sisters and 2 brothers. Home is where my three stuffed animals are, I made them at build-a-bear. I have a dog, a bear, and the most important to me is my wolf because all my siblings and I got one for Christmas. My stuffed animal makes me feel safe and loved. Another thing that is special to me is my fireplace and my tv, I sit by the fire with my family and watch movies. For example, The Grinch. That makes me feel loved, cozy, and warm. The walls of my home hold the secrets, and the roof holds the memories that I’ve made with my siblings. For example, when my siblings and I go roller blading in our basement. You wouldn't normally do this at a house, you also wouldn't grow up baking with your grandma in a house, it’s a home. My home is so important to me because it holds memories like mine, that you will remember for the rest of your life. You won’t remember the bad ones, but only the embarrassing ones because they are something to laugh about later on. Thats what a home is made for: memories, secrets, laughing and spending time with people you love.
