What's a Home?

Sally and Bill were walking down the street, but then Bill had a question. “What is the difference between a home and a house?" Bill said over his shoulder. Sally paused for a second, “ Well… A house is just a building with four walls, but a home is so much more!" she exclaimed. “Hmm, what else is a home? “Bill answered. “A home makes you feel safe and free like a fox or a bird up in the sky. A home is much more than a place to stay. A home is where you celebrate loved ones and a place you feel safe to cry. A home is so much more than you think! Home is filled with coziness and love! Never forget that the people in your home always love you!" Sally said with a hand on Bill’s shoulder and one on her heart. “Wow, thanks, Sally, this really means a lot!" Bill responded. “You're welcome. Let's go get food!" she teased jokingly. “Don’t forget home is love."
