Home Sweet Home

Home sweet home. Home can be sweet but sometimes not, but the things we remember in our home are the sweet times, and that's what makes a home, home. Home is your country, home is where you live, home is where you have memories that you cherish, and home is where people can find you, but really home can be anywhere. In the dictionary, home is defined as the place where one lives permanently, especially as a member of a family or household. But really there is more to that. If I close my eyes and am brought to a random place, I can tell if it is home. It could be the voices of my family or a smell making me remember memories, nevertheless, I will always know when I’m at home. Home can be wherever you would like it to be. It can be somewhere no one knows about, but you will still feel emotions that you don't feel anywhere else. When I’m at home I feel love and excitement. It's when my family comes together and I feel happiness in my heart. Home is sweet and when you have something sweet you want it to last. Home is one of the places where I always want to be. Whether I’m feeling sad or happy it will always be my home. What does home mean to you?
