A Home and a House

A home and a house are different. Hi, my name is Farrah and I have moved 6 times and I'm only ten! My parents are house flippers. But no matter how many times we move, my family always makes sure they make it a home. A home is not just an address it's a feeling, who you are with, and the memories you make. I actually have a best friend who doesn't live with her parents. She lives with her grandma. But despite living apart from her parents her grandma still makes it a great home. Everybody deserves a home. Thanks to Habitat for Humanity for providing people with homes that don't have one. A home is who you're with that can be nice neighbours, family members, and loving people. Who you're with is meaningful because the nice people you live with is a feeling of comfort. A feeling is coziness, love, and safety. A feeling can be feeling safe. A house is safe. Safety Is very important. Memories can also be important. You can have memories of your favourite furniture you love, family, and love. Families are great to make memories with. Family is good because the memories you make in your home will last forever. That is why a home and a house are different.
