Moving to a new house taught me the true meaning of home. On the day of our arrival, our neighbor Mrs. Green came over with a basket of fresh apples. She carefully helped choose the perfect place on the wall to hang up a family photo in the living room. Mum invited her to stay for dinner, and we shared stories with each other.
The next day, my sister and I decided to sweep the floor and set the table. We even placed a vase of flowers in the center to make it look special. To make the balcony lively, we added a few plants and some chairs. When friends came over later, they brought a board game, and we played together on the balcony. The sunflowers we planted added color to it. As everyone laughed and talked, I noticed how the empty rooms now felt full of life. One friend said, “Your home feels so cozy!”
That night, I wrote in my diary: “Home isn't just walls and furniture—it's the time we share and the care we show.”
