What is home to you?

“The ache for home lives in all of us.The safe place that we can go as we are, and not get questioned.”-Maya Angelou A true quote right? I don't think if i ever left home perhaps when i'm older and i'm going off to college. If I ever leave home, the home never leaves me. I'm grateful for the habitat of humanity because of the opportunity for others to feel the same warmth,care,safety and comfort that I feel. Like when I walk in the door I smell that delicious cent of muffins that my mom just took out of the oven. The phrase the home is where the heart is, it's quite true. Over the years I found a lot of home in others , the people I love. I've always asked myself this same question “ what is home to you” It’s my mom’s love and care, my dad's laugh and chuckle, my sisters smile, Sona’s goofiness and my happiness .If i didn't have a home is don't think i would be here today praying for others to have the same love to fall asleep to at night under the stars with a roof over their head. Sona is my exchange student. At first she was temporary but her love will always be permanent.. She completes my home. Her personality is a big part of what I describe as home, her care and goofiness a bit of craziness. I will always have a piece of her in my heart. No matter if she leaves she's always a part of my home. Home is definitely where my heart is. Some might describe a home with four falls and a roof but it's so much more. I believe you can find home in so many different things like animals, people, the sky, mountains, maybe a feeling, happiness, love and affection . The purpose of this writing is to spread awareness that some might not have a home. I hope that this helps society realise that you might go home to a nice cooked dinner and your family but some may not. No matter how big, no matter how small, home is in us all.
