The Meaning of Home

Personally I would define home as my mom and dad forgiving me and my other two siblings. It is a safe haven because my parents will love me unconditionally. In a sense they are weighing the forgiveness over and over. I sincerely owe them a big one for always forgiving me. They will love me and my other two siblings no matter what I do wrong or how wrong I act . They will still love me, I am so grateful I have parents that will forgive me no matter what. When I let one tear drop they comfort me and I love that. I enjoy the warmth of their snuggles. All of our basic needs are met at home but most importantly I am grateful I have parents that can love me no matter what and forgive me no matter what. When we have breakfast, lunch and dinner we all gather at the table and talk about our successes and failures. It's a very honest and fun place to celebrate birthdays. Every year for my birthday I get a gift from my family members and it is them because they are a gift to me. Thank you Habitat for Humanity. We really appreciate what you are doing to help the people in need.
