It's Not A Space, It's a Place

Home! When you think of the word home, what comes to mind? A warm fire, a cozy blanket around you or just a family sitting in the living room. Those are probably the things you think about, but maybe you think about the living room or kitchen space being too big. What if you saw that empty space as room for you and your family, and space to have fun and play? A big living room for my friends and me, and for my dog and my family. Home isn’t a space; it's a place full of meaning and hope. Home is where I smell hot cookies in the oven, where I hear my dog barking for my dad, and where I hear my brothers doing whatever boys do to get along. Home is my safe place, my rock, my foundation, my home! I’m sitting at the window on the couch with my family, waiting for the snow to stop, snuggled up with my family, my Home!
