Home, A Place Of Love And Laughter

Home is a place is where my family lives, including my mom and dad, and my brother too, it is a place where love is shared and bonds are strong, and where memories are made with the ones we love. Home is not just a place with four walls and a roof and it is not a place for sleeping or watching tv. It’s more than the bricks and the mortar, It’s the place where we have the most supporters. Home is where memories are made, where laughter and love never fade. It's where we find comfort and peace, where worries and stress can cease. Home is where my brother and I laugh and play also make noise where sibling rivalry is balanced by love and understanding. Home is where we celebrate holidays and special occasions making traditions and creating memories that will last a lifetime. Home is not just a place or building, it's the feeling of love, care, happiness, joy and confidence. Wherever you are, you are loved and that’s a home for me. Having a lovely family at home, nurture its walls . It doesn’t matter if the home is small or big as long as you have a loving family and friends gathering in that place. All parts of my home are special to me. In the entryway, where the care, joy, laughter and love begins, this is the warmth space where my planning begins what I’m going to eat what I’m going to play and what I’m going to do for the rest of the day. The first thing one of my family members tries to do when I walk in the house is they give me a hug, They also say have a nice day, and a loving family that keeps me safe and understands me when I am feeling miserable or furious. At my home it feels safe, warm, cozy, and sometimes it can be crazy. My home sounds like my family big part of me! I spend most of my time in my house. Its my favorite place to live. Home is where the fire burns bright in the hearth, on frosty winter nights, where we gather around and share stories and laughter. Also, home is part of something bigger. It is connected to my neighborhood, where familiar faces greet me and make me feel like I belong. Rent, child care and food should not be so expensive. My brother and I love helping our family. That is a good example for everyone, you should think about those people who don’t have a lot of money and you should help them. I have one more closet where we keep holy books like Gutka Sahib. This space always reminds me to be true to myself. It help me to distinguish between good and bad decisions. When I think about my home, it makes me feel very fortunate and proud specifically when watch war on TV in other parts of the world like Ukraine. There are many people who don’t have safe home like me. And I feel really bad for them cause Imagine sitting in the cold for days, even months and maybe even YEARS... So here's to the home that we hold dear, May it always be filled with love and cheer. May it be a place where we always find peace, And a haven where good souls never cease. But truly, a home is a feeling of belonging, not limited to a building a blessed place to rest. Everyone deserves a home.
