Home Is Family

A home is a place you can call yours, a place with laughter and rapture. A house is a place with walls and a roof, cobwebs and scurrying rats. A home is a place where memories take place, pictures on the wall resemble it all. A house has empty walls with no pictures, no family, and no happy memories A home is a place where the room is lit up by the people you love. A house is a place with loneliness, darkness and despair. A home a place where you can truly be you, A house is a place where judgment lives. A home is a calm place, filled with love and joy. A house can become a home only through family. Thank you, Habitat for Humanity, for giving people homes where they can feel safe, loved, and not alone.
