Home is a special place where I feel safe and happy. It’s where I spend most of my time with my family.

When you come through the gate, the first thing you see is this big garden in front of the house. These flowers in the garden make my mother very happy. She waters them every morning and takes care of them with love. I planted the roses over there.
