Sturdy Homes
A house is made out of bricks and stone but a home is made of love and memories. When you move you lose your old house but your home can become bigger and stronger or stay the same. When I was young we had to move to make room for my new baby brother. Even though we lost our old house, our home grew with the welcoming of my brother. Pets help us grow our homes too by bringing joy, happiness and times of laughter. Homes travel together as a family bringing friends or relatives on a fun vacation to get away from all worries. Love and happiness is not the only part of our homes for grief and sadness are there too. A loved one's passing or an illness causing unexpected hospital trips. Grief helps homes stay sturdy and you understand what others are going through. A house may crumble in a fire but a home stands strong forever. Shelter may be hard to afford but for a home you only need family or friends. If you feel you don’t have a home with your family, friends and pets are still there to give you a home. When arguments start I know I can escape outside and play with my cats and dogs. When friends come over, I can escape my family or feel like one family and one home together. Memories are a big part of every home and those memories bring warmth everywhere they go. A healthy home is where love is always in the air even during big arguments. Never is someone left out because they just don’t speak and be a part of everything. Never is someone invisible; they just act like they don’t want to be seen. Every home is sturdy even during hard times. I will never doubt my home for I know after every storm there is a rainbow. I love my sturdy, healthy home and everyone who is a part of it.
