Abode

Home, when people think of that word, the thing that comes to mind is most likely a warm house that has your family eating a lovely meal, and that it’s the safest place to be, but that’s not always the truth. Some people don’t have a well-made house. Some people live in apartments, and care homes, and some have to live in help homes. Help homes are where you go to live if you can’t afford the bills and, or a home, so you go there. If you live in a house, apartment, or just somewhere with a roof over your head. You are very lucky. 65.9% of the population don’t have somewhere to live. Nowadays, they don’t have orphanages everywhere, so you would have to live with a family member, friend, or foster home if you can’t live with your parents or in your own home. Some kids have siblings, and some don’t, but if you do, you probably relate to messes in certain areas of the home and being loud! My home is sometimes like that. I have siblings, but they don’t live with me anymore because they moved out. I am fortunate to have a home and to live with my family. My home is a 2-story house with split levels. I live with my parents and three cats. I am so happy about the fact that I have a roof over my head, almost always a home-cooked meal, and a comfy bed to sleep in. There for if someone asks you what you think of when they say the word home. Don’t always think of a house that has a great paint job, and a fancy interior, cause that is not always the case.
