A Jar Of Home

Lacey loved her house because it felt like home. She could never imagine leaving, until the worst day of her life came. It was a normal day she went to school, and went home. She hugged her mom “Hi mom” and rushed to her room. She started scrolling on her phone. Knock knock. Someone was knocking on her door!! Lacey went to her door and opened it while her mom was at the door. “ time for dinner” Lacey headed downstairs while her dad came back from work. “ Smells delicious,” her dad said. Lacey sat and said “What’s for dinner”. Her mom said “can you go get Kayden” Lacey leapt from her chair and she rushed to her brother's room “ it's dinner time” then she ran back to the table “got him”. When her brother came downstairs their mom said she had special news. “Were moving” Lacey was shocked “ What do you mean!!!!” Her mom explained that she didn't like the schooling. Lacey was broken; she could never imagine leaving her house. Lacey couldn't sleep that night so she was tired that morning luckily it was a Saturday. She went downstairs and sat down . Lacey was sad she was moving but she remembered what her mom said “Find something that's special”. The hunt was on!! Lacey searched everywhere in her bedroom, the bathroom, even her brother's room. She couldn't find something special so she called her friend “Mary can you come over ” Mary agreed. They searched everywhere. Finally they came to the garden “anything here’ Mary said. Suddenly Lacey remembered something “yes!!”. When she was little she used to love playing in the dirt. Lacey ran to the kitchen and got a jar and put dirt in it. Lacey realised that it's not about the house it's about the memories.
