The Meaning of Home

Home is where I feel loved when my parents gently tuc me into bed and kiss me goodnight.Home is where we all gather in the living room and read together by the popping fire and we eat cool apple slices together too. Home is where I feel safe as my parents curl me up into a warm,cuddly hug or when they say "I love you” .Home is where I can act goofy,disruptive or even sassy and my parents will still love me all the way. They will still make sure I have a cozy bed and a warm meal every night that helps me drift off to sleep.Home is where if I get sick my parents make sure I have medicine. If I'm hungry they make sure I have a warm delicious meal. Home is where sweet aromas fill the air as my mom brings breakfast,lunch or dinner to the table and I can eat as much as I want until I’m stuffed and I know there will be dessert after.And every meal is the perfect temperature.And when my parents feed me it is an act of generosity.
