HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS

Home, a familiar word but what does it mean? To many it means where we live and not much more; to me it's where love, family, food and smell is. Most people don't care about home but they don't realize that many don't have the finer things in life like a home or car. Many don't have a place for family or have none at all. Home is where love, laughter, family and comfort is. You can have parties, movie nights, family dinner and so much more. Home is where memories configure, kids laugh, parents and adults talk and laugh. So you can see your family grow up, see your kids if you have them and watch as they grow up and go to college and eventually have kids of their own. Jump in joy when they have something exciting like getting accepted into college or announcing they got a job. I'm writing this not because I have to but so someone out there gets a warm place to sleep, a place to eat, somewhere to bathe and cook. So someone can live in a place not the streets. Not dirty and wet, hungry and cold.So they're clean and dry, full and warm. Safe from danger like troubled people who do bad things. Adequate enough to live.
