What Home Means to Me

What home means to me. BY: Emma ? When you lay on your bed at night and just stare at the roof have you ever wondered how it would be like if you didn't have shelter no roof,walls,floor anything at all .Well Have you ever stopped and wondered how your life would be if you didn't have any of these grateful things in them? In this paragraph I will talk about Shelter, Memories and family and how great they are. I am really lucky to have a place where I can feel comfortable and safe all the time because it’s my home. I am grateful to have a bed, a washroom a kitchen , a comfy couch and so much more. I believe that everyone deserves a place to feel safe and a place to call “Home”. “ The best memories of our life can never be captured in pictures. They are always captured by heart” . I relate to this quote because it’s true The best times of my life our always remembered by heart not by picture and I can make so many in my home , like when my family and me eat together and enjoy the food we have and be grateful that we can eat all together,or when we do a movie night in the movie theater room and cuddle up and remember these memories that we keep making together. Did you know that if Children living with both biological parents are 20 to 35 per cent more physically healthy than children from broken homes.I love my family and a house isn’t a home without love and family, I love their cooking and , When I wake up in the morning smelling eggs and bacon the smell flutters through the house or waking up and seeing sticky maple syrup running down the stack of light soft brown pancakes on the table with a nice warm cup of milk makes my taste buds jump with water.I love being with my family all the time and to be able to have a family because my home is my family. It might look like a home if it has furniture and all of that stuff but really a home is home if you feel safe and secure and where you can share all of your thoughts and most importantly is that a home isn’t a home without love.
