My Meaning of Home

Home is the bitter cold air on our balcony, the times where my ears start to burn and my cheeks turn rosy, the fact that even in the freezing cold my face is filled with a smile and it's not because of the beautiful snow, it's because we’re together in my home, in my community, My home feels warm even when it’s cold, my home is a place where me and my mum can share giggles when my little puppy prances around and where we can be a family in our own unique ways, Home is a soothing cup of hot chocolate on cold winter days when we put on our warmest clothes, it’s also a glass of refreshing ice tea on the hot summer days when we turn the air conditioning on, Home is love and cherish, it's the pictures I see and the memories I remember, it’s the tv I watch and the other things I take for granted, like the clothes on my back, the warm water for my showers and the cold water I drink, My home is more than just a feeling it's a knowing, a knowing that even when I mess up my family is there to pick me up, a knowing that at the end of every day my bed is there for me to sleep on and to comfort me throughout the night, It’s everything put into one special place, My Home, My Family, My Love!
