This house is important because my grandpa built that house in the 90s and is still standing. When my family go back to Pakistan and we live there. In the 90s my grandpa used to live in small houses. They didn’t worry about how much money they had. He found a place to build and with hard work created a home. Where my dad, his brother, and his sister all got married. Now when my family visits Pakistan we stay there. It holds many special memories for all of us childhood moments, gatherings, and celebrations. It’s more than just a house; it’s a symbol of our family’s roots, love and history. Every corner just reminds us of our childhood moments, family gatherings and celebrations. The laughter of a cousin playing with the food cooked during the holidays and the sounds of stories being told by the elders all make it feel alive. This home is where we have grown, celebrated and stayed connected through generations. It is a part of us!
