Meaning of Home in Two Different Countries

My home is located in two different countries. One of my homes is here in Canada where I live with my Mom, Dad and brothers. My other home is 9, 186 km away by plane in Lebanon. When I am at home in Canada I enjoy time with my Mom, Dad and brothers. We enjoy cooking traditional Lebanese food that reminds us of our other home. We also enjoy living so close to the United States because we can visit my Grandma, Grandpa, Aunts, Uncles and cousins who live there. Life in Lebanon is very different from here. The power goes out daily and I have many more family members to spend time with. The food and traditions of Lebanon are unlike anything here in Canada. I love being able to spend so much quality time with all of my extended family, 64 of them to be exact . Home looks different in both Canada and Lebanon but I would not have it any other way. Thank you very much Habitat for Humanity for helping people all over the world find a place to call home.
