Grandma's house

What is the meaning of home? I thought about it for a long while then I came to the conclusion that a house or a home was never a worry for me. I was just blessed to have a house, a place to sleep at night and food provided for me. I never had to think about what home meant to me, but some people worry every night about where they will sleep or when their next meal will be. I really wanted to know what home meant but it was all a blur. Then I thought about the fact that home isn't your house or your address and really home doesn't have a label. Home is what you want it to be or what it means to you and everyone has a different perspective on home. I thought of my grandma's house because when I go there it feels good to be there and I feel welcomed by my grandma. The first thing I do when I arrive is get out of the car. It feels so good to be there after a four hour car ride. I rush inside and put my suitcase in my bedroom, put my clothes in the dresser, then help my grandma with dinner. After that we all sit together and have a nice dinner. Even if I did lose my home I would still have my grandma's because home is not my address, it's my happy place.
