Home is not Only a Place

Home is not Only a Place Home is not only a place, it’s a place with walls built of love, memories, and safety! At home comfort is a thing that doesn't feel like other places. The living room is a really special place in my home. It's where intense mini stick games come down to the wire between my dad, brother, and me. In the living room my family and I feel safe no matter if we are reading or playing an interesting board game. The living room is where old video games are played like NHL 17 and FIFA 15 on an old PlayStation. It's the one my dad used to score on the NHL video game he played on. The kitchen is where amazing memories are cherished with my mom cooking delicious homemade dinners and making ice cream with fruit. In the kitchen my dad and I make massive breakfasts for the whole family on weekend days when my dog is trying to jump and steal all the food from the counter. Christmas and Thanksgiving dinners are always held in the kitchen with cousins, grandparents, uncles, aunts and all the family you can think of! Finally, the basement, the quietest but one of most exciting places in the house! giant workouts, sleepovers, and movie nights always go down in the basement. There may be some dents or little, tiny holes in the wall because of some mini crazy soccer games that happened between my brother and I, but that's how memories are made. Home is way more than just a place to me!
