Home to Me

Home is special to each one of us. Home is where we are loved by our families. A house can’t be a home until you and your family are in it. Home is where we start our stories, our life. Homes are different from each other, just like families. I love my home not just because of my family, but the memories inside as well. The walls, roof or doors in my home aren’t just made of bricks, they’re made from memories. When I first come in, I smell Filipino food that's cooking on the stove. The taste of pandesal for meryenda. Home is where I feel safe, calm and a sense of comfort that a house can’t have. Home is where I hear my family laughing at the dinner table while we are eating. I have many favourite places in my home like my room but there is one place in my home that is my all-time favorite it’s the backyard. I love it because it’s filled with a diverse range of annuals and perennials with evergreens, hydrangeas and limelight. Thank you, habitat for humanity for helping families across Canada and the US.
