The Love of My Family

What I hear in my favourite place. In my home I hear the sound of my brother playing guitar. The sound of my cat's meow makes me smile. I hear the sound of my baby cousin crying. I hear the soccer game playing in my mind . In my home I see my family smiling and I can't help but join in . I see my mom in the stands watching me play soccer. I see my sister crocheting me a sweater. Home is where I smell the best foods .Sometimes I’m lucky and I smell fresh chocolate chip cookies in the oven. Usually I don’t smell my cats but after they use the litter box it is a bit smelly. My dads making Alfredo. It smells delicious. I can not wait! My favourite memory’s with my family. At my aunt’s wedding I was so happy because all my family was there. One day my dad was peeling a carrot and he cut himself. We laughed. When I lose a game they comfort me. On Christmas Eve we went to a pool. My brother pushes me in the pool . But I love him. In 2024 we went to the shelter to get another cat! When we brought her home they were both happy I was too. My family’s adventures. My brother had a tournament in Kelowna. We drove SEVEN hours to get there. They had a cold plunge I won. I didn’t feel homesick because my home was with me. My brother and dad went to Scotland without me even though I was home I felt homesick. My parents act of love . My dad coaches my soccer team and two others for free . And he has a full time job. My mom drives everyone around for hours . She loves us so much.
