Would you like to know what the HOME looks like in my eyes as a 30-year-old young lady? Such as how I felt about my home when I was a child, and now?
Did you like going back home after a long day at school as a child? Do you still remember who was always waiting for you to come home, who you always wanted to spend time with? Who is your favorite family member? Does that change when you grow up? What was your favorite family game you always enjoy playing? Who do you enjoy playing the game with? and why was that?
Need more time to recall your memory right? >< haha.
Don't worry about that too much, here I will begin sharing my story, and I hope it will help you to recall your old memories. 🤍
Ok, here the story starts.
I still remember when I was a child, around 6, or 7 years old, the most exciting thing for me was to spend time with my grandfather. I grew up with my grandfather, he was a university professor and principal, and he taught chemistry. I would say growing up with my grandfather was the nicest thing in the world. If you ask me who is my favorite family member, I would say that person is definitely my grandfather, like always. Cos he is such a kind person in my eyes, he is always kind to everyone, to our Neighbor, to his colleagues and to everyone in our family.
I always liked my grandfather's room, I mean, I like how the room was decorated, the color tone of his room was brown, the style was old-fashioned. His room was not very spacious, but full of old stuff. You know what, sometimes the room does smell like an old newspaper, but I mean, I liked that, I liked everything about my grandfather, the way he decorated his room and his old-fashioned taste.
I enjoyed playing poker with my grandfather, and sometimes, with my sister together when she came to visit me and my grandfather in summer vacation. What I enjoyed the most was everyone was sitting in the living room, sometimes we played poker, and sometimes we played different games, unfortunately, I forgot the name, but everyone just enjoyed spending time with each other and having fun. I was always happy when my grandfather bought watermelon and candy for me and my sister, we shared the food, we laughed with each other, we could just sit in the living room and watch tv the whole afternoon, just to enjoy the good time and each other's company. I also remember that my grandparents asked me and my sister if we would love to go to kfc almost every weekend, you know, as a child, that probably would be the best thing for us, of course, we love going to kfc, sometimes I wish I could sleep overnight at kfc, and keep playing the next day when I wake up haha. That sounds a bit crazy right ><, I know. But I mean what can be more attractive for a child to let them play when they want? Me and my sister love collecting toys from kfc, we wanted to collect all the toys, but we do not go to kfc only for the food everytime. So we asked if my grandfather could buy the burgers for him and let us collect the toys, actually, I never thought my grandfather was a big fan of burgers, cola that kind of stuff, but he was trying to say yes to me and my sister as much as he can, if I look back to the time, I guess he just wanted to see me and my sister happy.
Even now, my grandfather passed away almost 18 years, sometimes I still feel like everything just happened yesterday, it doesn't feel like he has been gone for 18 years, probably cos the time that I have spent with my grandfather and my sister was the most unforgettable and happiest time in my entire childhood. Even the time was gone, but it makes me feel like the memories were always there. It always makes me think why I still remember that good memory in my head even though my grandfather has passed away 18 years, I think the answer would be 'cos I feel loved, love makes me feel seen and heard; Cos the feeling was good, that makes the memory special and unforgettable'. And that is the feelings I have got from my grandfather, unconditional love, caring, company and patience.
In my eyes, home is somewhere that offers you a nice atmosphere, and makes you feel loved, seen, and heard. Even the time has passed, we grow up and probably we'll have our own family, but the good feelings that we have got since we were a child will always be there.🤍
See you next time, take care, stay safe, stay positive, love ya.🤍
cheers
