A Home Is More Than a House

A Home Is More Than a House A house is just a place that has walls, rooms and a roof; while a home is a place that has people and families. Home is a place where I feel loved and cared about. Here are some things I experience in my home. I can touch my clean clothes as I feel the textures of the fabrics. I am touching my pet dog, while I pet his dirty fur. I can smell the three topping pizza cooking in the kitchen. I can smell the nice cold air in the house during summer. I can see the fridge full of food, opening and closing. I can see the cat on my porch laying down enjoying the sun. I can taste the amazing moist brownies that my mom made. I can taste the multiple spices in the ramen that I made for lunch. I can hear my dog barking at a bird outside. I can hear my family laugh at the dinner table. My favorite experience in my daily life is hearing my dog bark at a bird outside, because I find his reaction funny. Therefore, these are things in my house that I can touch, smell, see, taste and hear which makes it a home.
