A long day is coming to an end. Children head back home from playing, breadwinners head back home to their loved ones. Teenagers head back home from their friends, parks and centres; now it’s prime time for all families to bond.
Children do their homework and the grownups do the dishes. The elders communicate and laugh, it’s a full house. The smell of food, and the noise, makes a home. While families are inside, outside is getting darker; households are filled with joy and warmth.
Happiness can’t be bought, that’s why families are happy. Bringing food to the table erases the ashes of the day. When the sun sets, the darkness is lit by love and homes. Now everything is back to where it belongs, alarms are set to start a new day with hope.
