The Meaning of Home

Jaida Jan 26 Meaning of home Home to me is a safe place with love in the air. Knowing there is family everywhere. Home can be large, home can be small, but that does not matter because home is the most prominent place of all. It may have been a house before but now you see a cozy home, when you open the door. Home to me is a place to be when you feel down, home is a place to be when you have a frown. Home can be a wonderful place. Not only can home be a lovely place, it can also be a spontaneous space. Knowing a warm home awaits after a long day is a great way to end your midday. When I was two, we moved to Comox valley. Our house was so small that we spent most of our time outside. Unfortunately, the neighborhood was not a pleasant place and there was one playground, but it was not a nice one, it got so bad my mom had to write a letter to the owner. Then when I was three, we finally moved to a small duplex with three bedrooms, there were lots of kids in on our new street, so we spent our days playing outside. Then when I was five my best friend and neighbor moved to the US, I did not feel at home anymore. Luckily when I started kindergarten We moved to another house, this one was so big compared to our last one, we had a big party. I was so happy to finally feel at home a could not wait to spend the following years there​
