Meaning of home.

Home is a safe and comfortable place for me and my family to live in. It is always nice coming home, on a cold winter day, and feeling the warmth of the air in my house. My home is a place where I find a soft and cozy bed to sleep in instead of a cold and hard pavement. Sadly, some people don’t get to sleep in a cozy bed like mine. I am really grateful that I am fortunate enough to have a home to stay in and not have to worry about living on dirty and dangerous streets. Imagine walking after school and not having a home to go to! Personally, I would be very scared and worried. My home is also a safe place because I have a family to rely on. My home is where my family lives. A thing about my home that makes me happy is that I can make special memories with my family to look back at when I’m older. For me a home will never be a home without the love and patience of my family. That's what makes my home so special. Nothing is perfect in my home. Once in a while my family and I will argue, but an amazing thing about my home is that we can learn to forgive and move on. In my home I will always be accepted for who I am by my family instead of being judged. However, not all homes are like mine that's why I'm happy to be able to have parents so loving and kind. I love that in my home we have a different culture than others may have that's what makes my home so unique and special. That's what the meaning of home is to me!
