The meaning of home

The meaning of home is not just bedrooms and a kitchen, it's also not just a four letter word, it's a place filled with love, family and hope. My home to me is a place where everyone knows and loves each other, my home is a place where I can tell anyone anything. It's a place where I feel welcome, loved and happy. My favorite part is my loving and caring family, even if me and my family did not have a roof over our heads we would still have a home just with each other. When I walk through my front door there is this one smell and feeling that just makes me happy. All I need in life is my family because they are one of my many homes. Every night when dinner is made we all gather round the table and talk about our day or some of the things we saw on the way to work and school. Every sunday it's family game night, we play a variety of games such as trivia, monopoly and charades. Where the family started was inside home, all the renovations and having guests over was all at home. When you move to different homes it's a really hard process because you feel like you're losing all of your memories in that house but you're really not because it's all in your brain and you never lose them. On that drive away from your now old house you feel like it's all gone but don't you worry you might make even better ones at the new house. Every year and days that pass, we make memories along the way in this one place called home.
