Meaning of Home

It felt a little bit more like home when my Papa was here.He helped me when I was sad and sang a really special song with me. Without him it feels a little bit less than home. I miss the way he made me feel safe; when I was sad he would always cuddle up with me and make me feel better. Sometimes we would have pudding together. He would sing the special song to my brother and sister as well, but mostly to me. Sometimes my Papa and Grandma would take us out for lunch to Denny’s or White Spot. I loved the chocolate coin in the Pirate Pack. Whenever I get one now I think of him. I felt happy when I was with him. Sometimes he would go on his computer and play card games where you try and match them all up. My Grandma played it too, but not as much as my Papa. We had fun together. “When the cold came the dark days when fear crept in to my mind you gave me all your love and I gave you all of mine.” Taylor Swift
