The Meaning of Home:

A place where laughter rings throughout the air. A place where familiarity resides. A place where family connects and shares tales. That is the living room. A place where age-old recipes bring back cherished memories. A place where happiness dwells in the heart and the mouth. A place where love is always the secret ingredient. That is the kitchen. A place where reflections on the soul take place. A place where both body and spirit are cleansed. A place where negative emotions are flushed away, leaving only peace behind. That is the bathroom. A place where warmth and recognition emanate from every surface. A place where sleep brings dreams, and dreams bring hope. A place where the walls whisper of old memories and stories untold. That is the bedroom. A place where echoes of events past take the form of objects. A place where items pile up in a priceless treasure trove. A place where dim light and tall shadows envelop pieces of undeniable family history. That is the basement. A place where shouts of laughter frolic in the breeze. A place where imagination can find adventure in any climate. A place where both kites and dreams dance in the wind. That is the backyard. A place where all are welcomed. A place where memories are made and celebrated. A place where you feel safe and comfortable. That is a home.
