House to Home...

When does a house become a home? Is it when your parents get stressed because of the money they owe the bank for the house? Is it when you start taking down a wall because of mold? No. Is it when your parents scour the market for a house they can afford? No. A house becomes a home when you walk into your new house and feel all the stress from the day get lifted off your shoulders. A home is where a couple with a baby who are looking for a home somewhere can settle down and start their life together. Home is somewhere that can feel safe, comforting and loving. Home is a feeling; it feels like a big warm hug embracing you as you walk in the door. But for me it doesn't matter if you live in a cabin, an apartment or a condo, whether you're poor or rich; it doesn't matter what your home looks like, all that matters is what is on the inside of your family. The comfort of a warm hug from your mom or your dad;if you have a good day or a bad day, they will be there for you through your ups and downs. Family is what makes a house a home.
