What Home Means to Me

If you ask me what home means, I say it means family. It's where you learn to run and play. It is where you spend your days. A house has a roof and four walls, but a home is where your heart calls. It's a place full of memories with love, laughter, joy and peace. My house is where I reside, to keep all of the weather outside. Inside is where I see the people I love. It is my home, and there I’m never alone. It's a place full of spirituality, where I can embrace creativity. This is where I’m safe and free, where I always can be me. Habitat for Humanity helps others in the community. Not just in one province or just one town, not just up north or way down south. Habitat helps many families, all over Canada, this whole country. Not only does Habitat give a house on the outside, they give people a chance to make it a home on the inside. What home means to me, is something I'll always know. what's inside of me is my home even if I have to go. Even if my address will change, one thing will stay the same. Home is where I’m with the people I love, running, playing, talking and having fun. But most importantly, where I’m safe, free, happy and loved, that is my home and it stays with me wherever I go.
