The Meaning Of My Precious Home

When I step and enter my home, I see my family spending time together, bonding, and sharing moments that bring us closer as one. The house feels relieved, peaceful, and welcoming. I can smell the fresh air from outside, with the nice cool breeze running through my face. I could also smell the delicious different meals and foods being prepared. I can hear the calm, relaxing music playing on the tv, and sometimes I just enjoy the peaceful silence when everyone else is fast asleep. I feel safe and comfortable in my home, especially when I jump into bed and feel like I'm flying for a split second. I taste the wonderful meals my mom and dad make, along the nice cool tasty air around me. When I look around, I see my family spending time together, watching movies, playing board games, and singing karaoke. We also walk around our neighbourhood and community, greeting others and making friendships in our community. To me, home is not just a place, it’s filled with all types of memories, laughter, joy, and love. That is what truly makes a house feel like home.
