A Sweet and Loving Home

A house is very different from a home. A house is the walls, doors, roof, even a window. But a home is about the feelings you share with anybody; it could be with your mom, dad, sister, brother, and friends. Before I lived in Canada I had a pretty small but big house. It was very wide but not spacious. I will never forget all of the amazing memories I had in that house. I had friends over, shared some laughs, and had a blast. I have never felt so happy in my entire life. But when I found out I had to leave I was very upset. It was the first time I was about to leave my friends, families, and pets. So I left with all of those memories with me. The first time I stepped in my new house it already felt like I was at home. After a while we finally shared some love and laughter, the four of us were finally together. Living in a brand new house, city, province, and country wasn’t easy. I had to go to a new school and meet new people. I had to start fresh and continue. I'm glad I did! At this very point I've shared so many smiles and laughter, I just knew that I was going to enjoy it here. A home is about laughter, love, memories, and sadness that you share with your family and friends.
