The meaning of home

Somewhere in the world there is a house that’s just for you, but over time that house isn’t just a house it’s a home. What makes that house a home is where family is and the story that comes with it. Also, memories that you cherish and the ones you don’t. The ones that you cherish or the ones that your parents cherish are special in my eyes. The ones that have meaning and value like when you first crawl, when you say your first word or even when you first open your eyes. I moved 3 times in my life, they were all just a house but having the people I love there it makes it a home and knowing that some people don’t have a house to call their own, makes me want to do this. Just so you know a house isn’t something that is fancy or has 4 walls, it’s something that you like or where your family is. A home normally has a story like a home was made in the 1900 and has a lot of history to it. Some houses are new and have no story, so they need someone to make them one. I know some people may have a different opinion about what a home means to them, but this is what I think the meaning of home is.
