Home

What is home? Home is somewhere you can feel safe. A place you can warm up by the fire. You feel the love and smell the steak. Somewhere you make memories, angry, happy and sad. Home is filled with jokes and laughter. Home is somewhere me, my brother, my mom, my sister, my dad, my dog and cat all live. Home isn't just a place, it's a feeling, good ones and bad ones. Somewhere where the birds wake you up every morning. The feeling of catching a fish with your brother. That's home, you can't replace that. Home is a shelter from storms from All sorts of storms. No matter who you are or where you are, instincts tell you to go home. The magic thing about home is it feels good to leave and it feels even better to come back. Memories are created at home. Friends are made, and laughter never ends. It's not how big the house is, it's how happy the home is. The smell of baked cookies and the dogs pee, you'll never forget that. That’s Home.
