The Meaning of Home

What does home mean? Home is a place where you are cared for. A place where you are loved, no matter if it’s your darkest moment or happiest time. A home is a place where you can go when you need comfort. A place, where you are most of all, safe. Home is a place that is impossible to live without. Home is where you are filled with joy, peace and happiness. A place where you get to know your family. Where you say hello to the new lives that start and where you say goodbye to the ones who you could never ask more of. A place of energy, warmth and comfort within your family. A place where you make memories with the ones who you love. Home is where the fireplace crackles as the parents talk about their work and the weather. Home is where the air is filled with the scent of homemade cookies and the children drool, trying to get their cookies first. A place where mothers put band-aids on their children and where kittens and puppies snuggle up. Home is a place where families laugh as they play board games and watch cartoons. Home is a place where no one will judge you. Where you can cry, laugh and love. A place where you can heal and hope. There are no expectations to meet, no test to complete except being yourself and loving your home for what it is. And most of all, being proud of it. Home is not just where you sleep, eat and live. Home is a place where you are safe, where you are loved, where memories are made and where you can be proud of who you are.
