Home: A place for me and you

♡Home: A place for me and you♡ When you get a home, you start off small, little by little, the walls and roof that sit in your house slowly become not just a roof and walls, but become a house to a forever home. What turns a house into a home? Well let’s see! Connection is where every family bonds, and it’s also that connection isn’t just internet connection throughout the house, it’s something a family has to know is there. If there isn't a connection, the house falls apart from a family’s bond. Have you ever been somewhere where it just touches your heart? That’s a connection, it’s something that touches your heart and makes you happy. When my parents bought the home I live in now, they were so happy, they wanted a connection to the home to start a family. In order to make a house a home, you need a connection to tell that it really is your home. Memories, memories, memories. . .It can really make you feel life, color, and the laughter come into the life of your home. No matter where they are, they stay in our hearts. A memory is like a story that stays in the walls and hearts of our homes. If there ever was a storm that may destroy your house, the one thing it wouldn’t destroy is the memories. Memories stay forever, even the good and bad memories, those are life’s reminders that you made it through the tough and great times in this challenging world! The walls and roof don’t make a home, the memories and family make a home for all. A house is used for protection, a place to hide from storms, heat, rain, snow, and even people. When you have nowhere to hide, it can be scary being vulnerable to the big world. Some people get attacked because they have no home to hide from these people, most of the time they get attacked because of their race, religion, culture and where they are from. We all deserve the safety of home, where we are loved and cared for. We all deserve a home, no matter what, we all deserve safe and equal rights. All of these things are what creates a forever home. Homes connect all of us together. If there is a home for me, there is a home for you.♡♡
