The Meaning of Home

Home is not just a place with a garage, a room and plenty of doors. Home is not just a place with bricks, wood and a mortar. Home is not just a place where we live and goof around. Home is way beyond that; it's a place where we make extraordinary memories. Like our first time walking, talking, and laughing together. It's a magical place where you can have family time, dinner time and game time. It's a place where we are comfortable and free like birds. It feels like I can spread my wings and fly, in my family's love covered all around me. We can learn new things, lessons and where we are taught from right to wrong. And when worries and stress can cease. Home is the only place where my mom’s famous taco’s aroma fills the air. It's a place where the greatest holidays are decorated and celebrated all around the house like Thanksgiving, Ramadan and Eid. Home is a place where we feel safe and it's also a place where we fight too. But we all know that home is filled with love and it’s only unconditional love. It's just like a chain of love. And for any kind big or small. Home is a place where you're you.
