What does a home mean to you?

When I think of home I think of love, family, and a safe place to go to. Home holds many memories, from the day it was built to the home it is today. All those memories from sitting by the fire watching the winter storm pass, to sitting on your bed in the summer with warm dry clothes, after a long day at the pool and the beach. It's spring now and you're watching your parents open the pool and cut the grass while you're playing on the swing. In fall you're cozy again with sweaters and sweatpants sitting on the couch watching the leaves blow by in the wind. Not all people have those things. That's why you need to love your home and all that comes with it. When I think of home I think of my animals home is not just a safe and warm place for you, it's a safe place for animals too. Dogs, cats, all animals should feel safe, warm and secure in your home. They see your home as a safe place to be fed, watered and loved. Your house is not a home without the love and memories it holds, no matter how many people you live with, or if you share a home with another family, or if you live in an apartment you should appreciate your home no matter what When your mom tells you to do chores you usually don't want to do them but chores and keeping clean makes your home more organized, cozy, and tidy. Your home is important so you should love and appreciate it and all that comes with it. Some people move out of the house that holds their childhood memories, so, when that happens to you one day please make that home as full of love as yours is today.
