Home Is....

Home is a place where I can relax. I can express myself freely in a safe environment. It is a place where I feel comfortable, and I am surrounded by family that loves me. In its’ most basic form, home is a place where I am protected from the elements. In a more meaningful way, home is where my family cares for me and provides me with all that I need along with providing me with some of the things I may also want. A home without people that care about me is just a physical shelter void of human connection. The people that live with me at home provide me with a relationship and connection that supports my emotional, spiritual, and physical development and well-being. These supports help me grow as a valued part of my family in my home and in turn the greater community.
