No Place Like Home

Home is not just a building or a place where we live and sleep. It's a place with more than walls and a roof. It’s a soulful feeling, an expansion of one's heart in place and time, beyond the doors and walls. It’s a blessed place, where you and your family can feel safe and secure. Where you know you belong and where you have all you need. Place of residence , where we are intertwined with our emotional encounters, memories , and personal experiences. Where you can share your joy and sadness, Where happiness, joy and delight never disappear, where misery and sorrow vanish into thin air with laughter that never fades. It’s the place where we can truly just be ourselves, where hearts are full, smiles are contagious, and promises are fulfilled . A place that is filled with love, laughter, and a little bit of chaos. It is a field of battle and play, where chaos meets kindness. Where we celebrate our culture, identity and traditions. It’s the place Guardians words guide us through ups and downs and embrace us with helpful information. Where family bonds grow stronger, Where every member is cherished , admired and kept near. A place to live with our families and pets and enjoy with friends. It’s where there is comfort and peace, where worries and stress can conclude. where dreams take flight and where journeys never come to an end. A place is built with chores and emotions where we learn to live in the world and where we unlearn the bad. It's true that there is ‘no place’ like home.
