The Meaning of Home

Home to me is a calm place. It’s peaceful, safe, and beautiful. When I come back from school I run to hug my parents and niece. When my siblings come home from school it's the same. I smell my mom’s fresh bread and some delicious food. I hear the kettle is filled with hot water for a nice tea. The thing that makes me happy is seeing my family happy it just makes my day. At night I just think about my great memories with my family under the warm blanket and a cozy bed then I slowly fall asleep. To me everything at home has a great memory full of love and happiness. Whenever I give up, my family and my home just reminds me to never ever give up. They support me all the time. Home to me is like having a nice warm shower. Home to me is having fun with family and most with siblings. I love to make pizza with my sisters. Also helping my brother clean his car with him after we clean his car he buys me a smoothie! My favorite thing that I like to do at my sister's house is baking cake with her. Sometimes whenever I come from school I get really tired so I just take a quick nap. When I wake up I walk downstairs to see my parents drinking warm tea and laughing together. In summer these little baby squirrels come on my balcony and I like to feed them some bread or some chestnuts. In winter I love to make some hot chocolate or tea and have a blanket wrap around me to keep me warm and I stare out the window to look at the beautiful snow. Home to me is like a small magical castle and I am the lucky little princess. I am so grateful to have a roof over my head. You can buy a house with money but not a home. Everyone deserves a home with happiness. Home sweet home :)
