My Family-My Home

No matter with or without a house my family is still a home for me. Though a bed and a roof are an added bonus living in a house is not much alone, but with a family in it, its colours truly shine. A home is not a sink, a chair or a stove but a love that stays permanently. A house can’t change a person by itself, but a home full of love can change the most lonely and sad person into a loving, wanted and kind person. A home is surrounded by love and joy, while a house is just an empty shell waiting to be filled. A house is the hard shell of a turtle while a home is the soft turtle full of joy and love that lives inside the hard shell. A home is surrounded by love, a home is a feeling that can't be replaced or replicated. A house is just a space where people live but a home is where people thrive, learn, grow, conflict and love. A home is being with my family.
