Home is like a Puzzle

Home is like a puzzle and animals are a huge part of it, like my 10 cats they are adorable and make my home feel special. In total I have 13 animals whose names are Ivy, Freyja, Gert, Spookers, Emmie, Kiki, Chetto, Gravy, Smoky, Walter jr., Blue, Ria and Ginny. Without them the puzzle piece would be missing,it would feel empty and sad without them. Home is like a puzzle piece you can't lose. Home is like a puzzle and another example of a huge piece is memories like when I was little my mom wouldn't let me sleep downstairs. So I took a balloon and drew a face on it, stuffed it under my blanket and went down stairs and slept in the cabinet and they couldn't find me. See if I didn't learn I wouldn't know not to do it again, things happen for reasons and they will be a part of home forever and ever. But they’re not always good memories, like when we had to give my dog Jack away, or when Charcoal my fish died, but it's a part of home. Home is like a puzzle and family is the biggest piece. Like my mom and dad, I call them moom and dede they’re always there for me. Or my nana and grampy, aunts and uncles, are always at family gatherings. Or my siblings and cousins, we’re always laughing…..at each other and if you lose that puzzle piece the puzzle won’t fit together.
