My Home is Love

My family is the place that is close to my heart. The word my home recalls lots of memories with family including my parents, grandparents, and my cousins in my home country, India. My home is situated near to the biggest waterfall, Athirappilly.I have wonderful memories spending time with my whole family in that waterfall and its surrounding areas. In addition, the meaning of the word home reminds me of the celebration of Kerala's cultural festival, Onam, along with my family. On that day, we all wear our traditional Onam clothes. We prepare floral decorations in front of my home. Also, we, the whole family together prepare and dine-in our traditional Onam sadhya, which is the attraction of the day. Then, we all enjoy the rest of the day with different Onam games. Home is always sweet with lots of memories. My family is one of the puzzles, and if I didn’t have them together then my home wouldn’t be a home. When I moved to Canada, the experience was different. Every weekend me and my family have family time. We play a lot of games like: snake and ladder, the game of dots, and we play with my baby sister. Me and my family cook together. That's also family time, and sometimes we go shopping together or for a drive to explore new places. Without my family I wouldn’t have a life. One time I had a birthday party sleepover with my friends. That day we had a lot of fun all because of my fun home. Last year, me and my family went for a vacation to Toronto, Niagara falls, Montreal and Quebec. That could cherish our love for each other. A house won't have memories, but the home is filled with memories. My room is the most comfortable place in my home. I share my room with my sister. I am so lucky to have a space to live peacefully with lovable people, my parents and siblings. This is the place where I can grow and develop my hobbies such as reading books, drawing and so on. My home is where I can be myself. I can do so many wonderful things. Thank you to Habitat for humanity for giving us a chance to write a story about our home. This was a really good experience.
