What is Home?

Jan,15,2024 Dear diary, today was the worst day EVER! My parents told me that we are going to be moving to Calgary… moving out is my worst nightmare! This house is not just a house, it's the place where I took my first steps, said my first word, and met my first friend. No matter where I move, nowhere else will ever be the same. I remember when me and my family made fresh pasta in our kitchen and I spilled flour all over the floor and then it went under the fridge, I recall my cousins and myself jumping on the trampoline for hours. Those are the memories that bring families together. Living somewhere else would be bland. Our home is something so special to me, leaving it behind and just forgetting about it is impossible. Jun,24,2024 (6 months later) Dear Diary, I think we're finally settled into my new house! I send postcards to my family back in Ontario every week. I was wrong, my new house is great! I love it, my room is HUGE! I wish my family was here to see it. It's been six months since my parents told me that we were moving. After all that fuss I put up, I do really enjoy it here. I've met new friends, seen some cool things, and even made some memories but it's still nothing like my old house, but I think I'm used to my new one. My cousin would love all the parades and community events that happen here! I'm so excited to start school again, I'm going to the sixth grade! But I guess after all that's what home means!
