Home

So many people mistake houses and homes to be the same thing, but they are not. A house is a blank, empty space, but a home is place of freedom and wonder. A house is cold and creepy, but a home is a warm, comfy space to show love. A house is just a building, but a home is a building made of friendship and love. A house smells empty, but a house smells like homemade food. A house sounds like the quietness of night while a home sounds like sharing stories during dinner time. A house is just four walls, while a home means everything to me and hopefully it means a lot to you too. I thank Habitat for Humanity for building homes for the people who need one.
