The Meaning of Home

Home is like waking up listening to the mourning doves. Like a cool breeze on a hot summer day. Like lying in bed after an exhausting day. Coming home is the one thing that keeps me going every day. My mom’s warm hugs and my brother's cheers of joy. I am so grateful for everything I've got. Even though my family doesn't have much, I still love myself and my family. Home is a happy place but the difference is home is everyone's happy place not just mine or yours. You can always come home. It's a safe place for everyone. My home, your home, everybody's home is filled to the top with love. Money can't buy you happiness but the love in our homes can.
