Home Sweet Home

Home is not simply some walls, windows and furniture. What does home mean to me? Home is very important. You can’t live without a home and you can’t live without a family. In my mind, home is my grandparents’ smiles, my birthday party which my parents use a lot of money and time to make and the pond in front of my grandparents’ house where I used to fish with my family. Home is much more than a house. Home has laughs and love in it. It has many good memories of our childhood. It is a place of helping and growing. Home has happiness, sadness and love. A house is only a shelter for us to live. It does not have emotions and family in it. Home is a connection to friends, families, relatives and neighbours. We have a family so we feel love. We have friends so we feel happy. We have relatives and neighbours so we know how to share. They all started from a warm loving home. Also, home is a place full of memories. Do you have any wonderful events in your childhood? I’m sure you do. Maybe it’s fishing with your family in the morning. Maybe it’s enjoying the sunset with your friends. Maybe it’s watching horses running from a river to a hill. Have you ever wondered why you have these awesome memories? “Because we have a family.” You would say. But where do these loving families come from? Yes, they came from a home. I believe home is different from a house. It has love, family, kindness and memories. It’s a place where you improve your skills. Everyone can't live without a home. A Love Sweet Home.
