Meaning of Home

Home is not just a place to stay. It's not just a place with walls and a roof. It’s a place you live, a place you have fun, and it's a place you need. Home is a place my dad, papa, brother and I live, love and make unforgettable memories. Home is the place I make my Habitat for Humanity essay so people can get a house, apartment, whatever home will mean to them. A home you need, whether that means living in a shelter, in a big fancy mansion, an apartment or even a small town house. Home is a place I walk to after school with my dad telling him how my day went. Home has the front door where I say goodbye to my dad when he leaves, or that I come through when I have a great day. Home is the place I smell the delicious meals my dad makes in the kitchen while I’m working on homework. Home is the place I sleep in my slightly cold but cozy bed while my papa does the dishes downstairs. Home is the place I spend my weekends watching TV with my family on the couch while eating a bag of chips. Home is the place I decorate my tree for Christmas while my Elf on the Shelf runs all around my house. Home, something Habitat for Humanity is trying to give to those who need a new one the most. Thank you Habitat for Humanity for giving kids all across Canada this opportunity to give to those in need.
