I feel at home when I am in my own home, for sure. When my family are around me, when I am home alone, or when the house is rocking with a party of teenagers, they all still feel home, in my own home. So in that sense, "home" is where I live. It is the shelter that is over my head. It is the place that I go to when I am done work. It is the place that I go to when I am at some of my work. It is a PLACE.

I feel at home when I am 1000 miles away, in the company of my sister, or one hour away with my other sister. I can be on a vacation with my family or at the zoo with my nieces and nephews, and it is home. It can be anywhere I am, as I am surrounded by family or people I love. It is the PEOPLE you are with.
Home is so much more than just a dwelling place. It encompasses everything that is in our world that offers us that feeling, those memories, and those people we love. For each of us, home will be different things. Maybe your home didn't have a dad, maybe it wasn't a happy place, maybe your childhood wasn't full of great memories, but you can create them now. You can build a home full of love. You can build a home full of people you love. You can fill your life full of happy memories. It is up to you, but it is can be done. You can create your home wherever, or whenever, or however you want it to be. Make it a great one.
