Meaning of Home

Home is not where you come back to eat or to sleep, it's where you spend time with your family. To me home is not just a place you live but it's a place in my heart. It fills a great part of me. Home is not a house but my family, so if my house burned down I would still have a home because of my family. Another reason this is so important to me is, my grandpa who recently passed away spent his whole retired life building houses all over the world for the Fuller foundation. He would build for at least 6 months of the year. He was humble and caring to others and I look up to him so much for how he chose to spend his life. He chose to spend his time giving a home to others who had nothing and put a roof over their head so they can live happily with their families. I can only hope that when I'm old enough I can spend some time helping others just like he did. I would love to give people a house to create their family memories in and make it their own home with those memories.
