I’m sure not everyone has thought to consider how important home really is. I mean it’s all just a box with a roof on it, right? Wrong. Home is much, much more than just a box with a roof, and I’ll tell you why. . . Home provides a safe and warm place to sleep when winter comes or a storm blows over your city. A place to snuggle up and read stories at bedtime. Home gives you space to store and save all the things you need to survive in this wild world—and even space to keep stuff you won’t necessarily need to survive, but to love with all your heart. Home is a friendly, safe place to have some alone-time when a bully has bugged you at school or when you haven’t had a good day. It gives a cozy hideaway to spend time by yourself and think. Home is where you and your family live, communicating, playing and bonding together. Where you snuggle and watch movies and live together, loving each other and comforting one another when your day hasn’t gone right. Home is an important place in your life, a place to love and keep you safe, a place to enjoy your life and make memories from years ago seem like yesterday—and not just a box with a roof.
