It has been years since Winston visited his parents. It has been six years to be exact. Ever since he moved out, he has been so busy with work. His mom was pretty much disappointed in him for not making an effort. Though he had not made any time for visits, Winston always called up her parents and siblings often.

As soon as Winston entered the house, he was met by the warm, homey smell of apple pie. His mom loves to bake apple pies as it is his dad’s favourite. The kitchen lighting is still the same as it was before. In fact, everything is just the same as it was six years ago. Winston realized just how much he missed his family and this wonderful home of theirs.

Climbing up a flight of stairs, Winston entered his old room. It still bore his high school medals and awards in chess. Yes, he was sort of a nerd back then. But Winston never gave it another thought. He was happy just as he was.

Winston kept walking around the house. His parents don’t know yet that he has arrived. It was meant to be a surprise. Winston went around back and saw his parents tending their small backyard garden. It is good to be home.
