East or West, home is best!

We are a big family and we live in a four-bedroom cottage in a quiet village. We love our house — it’s well designed, has a nice view of the river and each of us enjoys being there and spending time together. One day my grandma and grandpa who live next door came over and we were having tea all together. My Mum said,
‘I am so happy to see all of you here, when we are all sitting like this talking to each other, sharing the news, all jokes and laughing, I know I am at home. This is home to me — you, my children, my husband, my parents, whom I love very dearly and who make my life full and worth living.’
We were all impressed by mother’s touching words and my brother spoke up and said, ‘To me home is where I can relax, do nothing and watch TV. What about you, Sis,’ he asked my youngest sister Lucy.
‘Oh, to me home is where I can play with my dolls and have three meals a day. It is also a place where you can put up a Christmas tree.’ ‘Yes,’ said my youngest brother, ‘it’s where Santa Claus always comes and leaves presents for us all!’
‘How lucky you are,’ said my Dad, ‘to me home is a place where I am never at rest because you keep asking me questions. It is a place where something has to be taken care of all the time — fixing leaking taps, changing old light bulbs, hammering in nails for pictures to be hung! But... I love it! It keeps me busy.’
My grandmother looked at us and said, ‘Home to me is the only place where I can quickly recover from a cold or flu. No other place works that well for me. It’s a place filled with love and care.’ My grandpa smiled and said, ‘It is only at home that I can have a good night’s sleep.’
When my turn came I said, ‘It’s everything to me — a place I want to return to at the end of every day. There is no place like home!’
