The meaning of Home

A home is not just a shelter with rooms and a roof, but it’s also where you have built your life. A home is more than just a house. Home is where the heart is, and your heart longs to be there. Where all your comfort is. Your love, and I can explain that feeling. Because home isn’t where you are, it’s who you’re with. And I know who I want to be with, my family. Forever and always. You take your home with you, that strong, warm feeling that you get. Each time you step through that door, the familiar smell that you have always known was there waiting for you. The smell of your parents cooking meals for us to eat. The smell of opportunity in the air, optimism, like something good is about to happen. Home is not just a place to sleep, it’s also a place of hope and love, joy and positivity, peace and cheer. And as I lay in my bed each night, I begin to think about how lucky I am to be here. Here at home, with my family.
