The Meaning of Home

You may think a home is full of colors and a structure and you have so much space but that is not a home at all. A home is where you spend time with people who you love instead of being alone. It's where you cherish your memories, it's where you have your laughter and your sadness. But above all that you would have everything you need. A home is where you get together and have a fun time with your family. It's where you smell your mom’s cooking or how proud your dad is of you. It's where your whole family comes across the country to spend time with you, it's where your friends come to comfort you when you're feeling sad. There's a lot of things that make you feel like home.When I'm at home I feel safe because I know it’s safe to talk to my family when I need help. When I'm at home I see my brother playing with his toys and all the ways coming to me and telling me about his day and how I can help him . It’s when my grandma tells me that I can do it, it's when my grandpa makes me laugh, it's when my dad gives me that extra push to try hard when I feel in doubt they always tell me to reach to the top. When my friends always call me and ask what's going on and how we can help it’s when my cousin tells me you're going to do great. A home is where you leave a home you have so much memories when you move out even if it hard to say goodbye a move means a new adventure it a house don’t make it home we make it home all time.
