What a Home Means to Me

Even if your house is broken, it doesn’t mean your home is ruined. Because home isn't a place that keeps you warm, home is a place that is in your heart. I learned this when my house was damaged, and I thought that I had lost my home. I had just lost a house. I didn’t believe it at first, but then I started to believe that a house is a shelter with a bed and food, but a home is filled with love and kindness. It is where people laugh and play. You can have dinner parties in a house, but you can’t in a home because a home is not a physical place. It is a spiritual place. This is what home means to me. It means that a home is not just a roof over your head, but it is a place where memories are held, where you live, learn, love and grow. Thank you Habitat for Humanity for giving people that already have a home a house.
