Home A Small Word With A Big Meaning

Have you ever thought about what home means to you? To me Home means love and family. Home means comfort and safety. To me home gives me a feeling of love and a place where I can be myself. To me home means family. It means messes and food and laughter, playing board games, going on walks, having snowball fights, learning to ride a bike. Roasting marshmallows on open fires waking up to a Christmas tree full of presents. It means Birthdays and celebrations, watching family movies on tv, reading books, helping in the garden. Baking cakes and cookies and pizza. To me home means love and cooking and my Mother telling us to clean the mess up this minute when it's really just in love. It means saying jokes and pranks, going out and having fun as a family in winter. Building snowmen and snow forts, skating, playing soccer, racing one another. Going tobogganing and skiing. Pizza nights and going for bike rides. Learning to bake with my mother and sister. Cooking and contests and laughter. Home is a place of family and love and I am very grateful to have a home but many People don't have a home. What do you imagine when you imagine a home? Maybe you imagine a small brick house with a cozy fireplace in the center or a small log cottage in the woods. Maybe you imagine a small apartment building in a busy city. Can You imagine someone without a home?
