A home

Leia lived in a small but nice and warm, cozy home filled with memories but Leia wasn't happy. “I want a bigger house not this disgusting dump and trash of a place, all my friends have a mansion!’’ . But years and years passed and they moved to a nice beautiful big mansion in legacy, but it felt dull and empty like something was missing. It was so unsettling month and months past and Leia Couldn't shake the feeling that this wasn't home .But on Monday let your bag didn't begged her parents to move back but they disagreed ,’mom dad please i miss our old house please let's move back but they disagreed. Years and years past and leia parents finally agreed, they moved back and this time leia did not complain she soon realized that home isn't a roof and walls it was a place were love and laughter was made, then she soon came to peace thinks about all the good time in her home the memories fun and the laughter. Then she finally felt peace realizing what home means. It wasn't a place where people stayed , it was a place of love where families and friends gather and have fun and where moms cooking filled the house with the good smell. She got up and left her room and ran to her parents, and hugged them “mom and dad i'm sorry what i said i never realized what home meant to me but i do now, this will be my forever home i'm sorry and i love you and i'll never doubt my home again, and you guys i promise and hope we continue to stay here and never go and live here long and happy” she said.
