The Meaning Of Home

I don't know what home means to you or people around us, but what home means to me makes this page longer than a bus. A home is where in the winter time you can huddle around the fireplace and drink hot cocoa with your family and go outside to have a big fat snowball fight. A home is where in the spring time you can sit on the deck and watch the flowers start to bloom and see the birds come back from the south and the clocks change and you can see more light. A home is where I can get in my cozy and warm bed in the very cold basement and sometimes my cat, Nichols, goes and rubs his face against my face in the middle of the night. Sometimes at my home my dad drives me, my mom and brother to the airport and we see the big airport and go to our gate and get some food before our big flight. At my home we set up our trampoline in the spring time then my brother and I see who can jump the highest and it feels like I can fly. At my home we wait for our supper and smell the deliciously cooked food in the kitchen and we devoured it then me and my brother jump up on the shed roof and watch the bright stary sky. A home can mean a lot of different things to different people But I know what a home means to me and everyone should have one. That's why we are coming together and helping the people who are struggling to find homes and building it for them. I hope everyone can experience what it's like to have a home and everyone deserves one too.
