What makes a house a home?

Maybe it’s watching your siblings grow before your eyes, or maybe telling your parents silly little lies. Maybe when your sibling helps get your work done, or when you have endless amounts of fun. Dad makes a home full of joy. Even after a hard day he makes us laugh. He always has time for his girl or boy. Mom cooks dinner, oh so yummy. She gets you ready to go to school. She dresses you up, really cool. She helps out when you have an ache in your tummy. Or maybe your house is different from others, that doesn’t mean you don’t have the same love for each other. Maybe your home isn’t a building, a person, a place, a thing. Nothing about home is limiting. Sometimes you’re an only child. `That doesn’t mean you aren’t as wild. So I guess we found out what makes a house a home. It’s the love and care, in which we all share.
