If Home were the Number 246437

Home comes in different shapes and sizes. A home can be a town, country, a feeling, a group of people and can take many other forms! When you are at home, what do you feel? What do you see? What do you smell, touch and learn...? What is home? Home is a place where you can feel safe with people who care about you and shows devotion for who you are. A place where you can all get together to get something solved, speak your mind and share your feeling out loud. It's a place where you do not have to worry about what is outside or feel the unease about the sound of explosives or guns booming throughout the night as you sleep. Home is a place where memories live to thrive and be remembered. Memories of happiness, love, sadness, laughter and anger. Home can be with you in many places. Home can go with you to Australia to visit the platypuses. Home can go with you to Mexico to see the beautiful sea life. Home can come with you to a place called "my house" which is where you have your bed and can dream big with a roof over your head. The walls around you protect your house but will never change your home. Who is your home? Your home can be your pets, someone who you might get angry with but still love. It can be your parents who will always be with you every step of the way. It can be your siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins, step-family or friends. It can be someone you feel comfortable with, who you know loves and care about you. It is a place where you are allowed to fail or feel proud. Your home will always love you. Number 246437 is a very special number. It means "Love is a Miracle" and to me, that's what home means. A place where you can show emotion and be yourself.
