Home Is Where My Heart Is

What is a home? A home is a place truly yours. A home to me is more than four walls and a roof. Home to me is where aroma fills the air from the wonderful dishes my mom makes in the kitchen. Home to me is also family. In my family there are four people; my mom, my dad, my grandma (who I call Dadi), and my sister. Home is where I share love with my family, relatives and whoever comes by. Home is where there can be different feelings. Like annoying ones, happy ones and sad ones. A home is also where memories are made. I remember one from when I was one or two years old. I used to live in front of a park, and nobody would take me, so I started crossing the street. My uncle saw me and came to grab me before I got hit by a car. Home to you can be different. It can be an apartment or something else. Sadly, not everybody has a home, so thank you to Habitat for Humanity for supporting that and trying to give everybody a home.
