The Place I Call Home

The Place I Call Home. The place I call home, you can hear it before you see it, the laughter in the kitchen after my mom, my brother and I mess up the recipe for the billionth time. Even if it's frustrating we’ll get it eventually. The relief on their faces after we finally get in right. The dinner table... those smells will never get out of my nose, the chatter that made my head spiral about how it even started. Don't even get me started on the food, it is THE BEST! It just melts in my mouth like cotton candy. The living room has dimmed lights and smells like buttered popcorn. When you come in, you can hear the whispers of my brother asking a bazillion questions while the movie was still rolling.. a classic one.. Home Alone. Even if it's loud, even if it's annoying, I will always pick it over anything. It will carry my heart to the depths. That's why I want Habitat for Humanity to give other people a place to call home so they can experience the same thing.
