There are six members in my family: parents, an older brother, a younger sister, a dog and me. They live in Nagano except for the older brother who goes to college in Ibaraki. I felt fappy when I went back to my parents’ home. I returned to my hometown during last Golden Week. It was the first time since I became a college student, and I discovered a lot of happiness which I didn’t notice when I was living in my parents’ home. I’m going to write about same of them.

First, the day I can return to my hometown is someday of mid-to-long vacation. That is because the fastest way taking Shinkansen takes there and a half hours, and the way taking the bas takes six hours at least to Nagano from Osaka. It is too long for usual life. The vacation such as Golden Week has a lot of time, and I am free to do what I want.

In addition, of course, if I go back there, I can meet may family. I’m getting used to living alone, and yet I feel a little lonely. Therefore, I was glad to be able to have a meal, watch TV and go out with them. The older brother also came back there, so I hung out with him and the younger sister.

Moreover, I don’t have to do anything by myself. When I’m living alone, I need to cook, tidy my room, do the laundry, go shopping, take out the trash and so on, In contrast, in my parents’ home, we share housework with whole the family. My mother cooks delicious dishes every day and my father fills the bath. These are really happy things. Incidentally, there is no need to care about food expenses.

This Returning to my hometown was a very happy time because I realized again how grateful I should be and how precious my family is. My parent always are concerned about me, the brother cares casually, the younger sister says she misses me and our dog is super lovely! I really love them who make me relax and happy, and they are irreplaceable to me. The next time I can go back is during summer vacation, then I will do something nice for them.
