The Meaning Of Home

​ A home is empty but there could be a lot of memories. For example, the old owners that have lived there had there own memorable happy and joyful times. As for me to come into a loving family just as they did, those memories will always and shall be in those walls for years on forward so I’m able to always have that by my “side” all the time even if I forget those memories. How my house makes itself a home, is when I’m always coming in the door seeing my fluffy cat waiting for me at the door and all the shoes that are scattered everywhere on the hard wooden planked floors. My house makes itself a home by making everything safe and cozy when its raining and to make everything stay calm and close together within the walls of the hard “popcorn painted” walls. My house makes itself a home by always having happy family at the door all the time within those walls have smiles and joy, there everything stays still when I walk in and the great smell of my mother making a fresh smoothy or chicken strips either one always makes me smile and always I will always enjoy them.
