The Meaning of Home

The minute I walk down the stairs I hear the sound of my dog coming to greet me and the smell of my dads waffles. What does home mean to you? My home isn't just a house, it's my memories, stories and lots more. My home is my happy place, it's where we make our memories. I have a lot of fun in my house but I think there is one thing I think I love most about it and that's family. My family surrounds me with love and laughter. My home also gives me shelter so we are not cold, it also protects us. A moment that helps me understand my idea of home is when it was Christmas Eve and my whole family came over and we were having a great time, and then my aunt and uncle came over and they had my new baby cousin, and I was the first one to hold her, and when she was leaving she started to cry and she kind of had a high pitch scream and she sounded like she didn't want to leave her family. This made me realise that you can have so much fun in your house and make lots of great memories. That's one of a million memories I have in my home. But I also think of my house as a safe place and I think you should too.
