My Special Place

My Home is where family will always support me on a good or bad day. Home has unimaginable comfort and joking with my family is always amusing. A home may not be a house,it is a feeling, a feeling of joy, love and happiness.Where you make memories, where you have a sense of belonging, where all your traditions and cultures live, these are all a part of who you are, what you feel at HOME. Feelings and Memories All precious memories in a frame or a phone are held on tight in my home. My first step, my first word, my first sentence, all these cherished memories are carefully preserved. At home laughter lingers through the halls. You feel unconditional love, a feeling that lives in my home. Identity and belonging Home is like a warm hug that NEVER lets go, it’s a non-judgemental space where you can truly be YOU. Home is where you are sheltered and treasured no matter what. Home is where you have a sense of belonging, never having to be ashamed for who you are. Traditions and Culture My home has culture and traditions that make me truly me. Whether it is the rich aroma of delicious waffles on a sunday morning, birthdays, or the new years, all these things make my home truly special. At home, delight radiates from my smile knowing wherever I go, my home and I will forever be walking hand in hand. Thank you Habitat for Humanity for giving other people a chance to experience …HOME.
