The Way Home Feels

When you enter your home it may not be big and luxurious or filled with things that you want but filled with things you need the most.Maybe your house isn't big at all but filled with people, with love, those are things you need the most.Family picks you up when you fall down.If you were out in the cold your family is there to hold you while you shake and shiver making sure you stay warm. I feel the walls wilting, the old worn out warm sheets on my bed where I used to lie with my cat talking back and forth with him even though I didn't understand.Crying when I had a bad day at school because I got in a fight with my friends.Or mad because I couldn't get a toy at the store I wanted. I go to school every day thinking of my friends.They make me laugh like nobody else can.I can barely catch my breath because of some silly joke that I see no one else is laughing at.when my friends hug me it feels like i'm hugging a big stuffed animal. I can taste a dish my mom spent hours on so I have a good super.Even when it is not my favorite I still love making it sound like I love it so I can put a smile on her face.My mom works so hard to give me everything I have so I shouldn't take it for granted. In all a home is not a house a home is where you can make connections and not feel judged.a home is when you make memories and friends a home is friends family home follows you all around.
