Home Means To Me

Home to me is a safe place to be loved by family. Home is where you feel safe, where you are happy and where your dog takes up more than half your bed when he doesn’t even need that much so you can’t sleep until he leaves. Home is a place to feel comforted and cozy, where you are safe and warm. To read a book by the cozy fire and feel relaxed on your bed covered in dog hair. To wake up on Saturday mornings to the smell of bacon and eggs and of course the burnt toast that was in the toaster for five minutes. Where you shoot a hockey puck and it looks like it misses by a centimeter and almost goes through the window then you get so mad and upset but then it turns out to be bardown and then you feel so proud of yourself and then you question how you went from wishing you’d never shot that puck to beaming with pride.
