Meaning of Home

My topic is about what does home mean to me? Home means a place that you can stay warm in and have a nice loving family to hug and care for. Home is also a place where you can celebrate holidays with your family and friends, like getting gifts or getting traditional foods by family! I am 11 years old. I lived in 5-8 different homes because of my tricky situation between my mom and my dad. I am from Palestine and born in the USA, when I was in America, I had to go to Palestine to see my mom's side of her family. So, I kept switching to America then Palestine. Then my mom could not handle the switching anymore, so my mom and dad Moved to Canada. Then my dad told us to move back to Palestine. My mom didn't want to go so she packed and moved into a different house. Then after I never saw my dad again. [Divorced] My new home was nice and cozy, there was other single moms living in the building, so it was fun! Now that is why I love my home. My home means everything to me my home is not a house my home is a place to call for love and help! The end.
