The Meaning of Home

What is the meaning of home? For me the meaning of home is when you have someone or something that is special to you. Also what makes you safe and comfortable in your home. Another reason is you need to fill the lonely spaces in your home like pets, friends or family. What makes a house a home? For me it’s the memories of when I was little. The fun moments and when I spend time with my family, friends and two dogs. But the most important thing is when I spend time with my family, friends and dogs. Why is my house important to me? For me it’s my room because it has most of my memories in it. My family because they make me feel safe. My living room because that's where I meet everyone special to me and when I watch movies with my family. Why does everyone deserve a home? I think everyone deserves a home because you are with the ones you love. You need a sheltered and safe place when it’s the winter when it’s cold. And in the summer when it’s hot. That is why I think everyone deserves a home. The meaning of home is when you have the things you love in your home like when I play board games with my family and we are all at the table together me, my mom, my dad and my sister and we spend time together and share fun memories of our home. That is what I think the true meaning of home is.
