A Home will always be with you

Home. It's a place where you laugh, play and smile. A place where you learn to love, grow and find who you are. A house is made of bricks, but a home is stored in your heart even when you're far away. A home can be whatever you imagine it to be. A house has its roof and walls, but those roofs and walls can be broken down or taken away from you at any moment, but a home is dependable and unconditional. That feeling of having a home to lean on and to turn to is a truly magical feeling. A home will live in your heart forever. A house is measured by size, but a home is measured by love, memories and laughter. Your home can also be measured by your community, and the strong ties within it. When you take care of your community, your community takes care of you. Creating stronger relationships to your home. What does a home mean to me? It's the family and loved ones that surround me. It is a reflection in my heart of all the good memories that have been created. A home is the feeling of being bonded to something bigger than my consciousness can imagine. During the pandemic, it's been clear that people have become sad, not being able to see their loved ones. People, like their family, or those who make their home, a home. People have also realised that you don't have to be related by blood to create a home. A home can be created anywhere with anyone. Some have a park bench or a sidewalk to sleep on, but have people surrounding them that they can refer to as home. So cherish the home you have created. A home is always with you.
