Meaning of Home

Do you know the difference between a house and a home? In the Collins Dictionary the meaning of a home is a place where you live and feel you belong. Also in the Collins Dictionary it says the meaning of house is a building where people live. For me the most important part of a home is the people and it feels like a place where you want to spend your time with those you love and it also gives you safety. A house is a building that provides shelter. In my opinion, what makes a house a home is the people in it, the comfort you feel and all the memories you make with your loved ones. My family makes a house a home. When I go through hard times or good times they’re always there. Like when I have a good or bad day. They give me comfort when I need it. They provide for me and give me everything I need. They also love and keep me safe. When I’m sad or feel like I don’t belong somewhere they make me feel loved and cared for. The reason they make a house a home is the comfort, love, and safety that they provide. I have a lot of memories in my home with my family. Just some of my favourite memories are at Christmas time or just in the winter. The first one is with my big brother Evan. Me and him went into the forest and played in the snow together and had a blast. It’s easy for me to remember because I loved that time with him and it was just so much fun that we had together. Another memory was my first time riding my brother's dirt bike, and let me tell you it was a disaster. I went up a hill and ran into the chicken coop and got stuck.
