My idea of a home is the door is always open,no matter what our children are doing or what crisis they are facing.We love the fact that our children-grown still love moms homecooked meals and say no one does it better-not to brag but a home is surrounded with childhood memories,the smells,the feel,hugs and sorrow too.It is a safe haven for all that life itself bestowes

I blogged, but am a bit clueless on the "specially designed widget" to tweet from. Here is my post Away We Go - What Home Means to Me

HOME -
A house, apartment, or other shelter that is the usual residence of a person, family, or household.
The place in which one's domestic affections are centered.
The word HOME, to me means a place I am most comfortable with. I have my childhood home, which is where I return to when I wish to summon up happy memories - the problem is that I've lived in several.In which case it would depend on which memories I would like to remember.
As a child, HOME was where I returned to and found my Mum, Dad & Sister.People who loved and supported me, whatever I did.
Nowadays HOME to me is where my son,daughter and husband dwell. They are the centre of my affections and I feel happy to be there, so long as they are there.
So to sum it up.It's people in my case that make somewhere a HOME.
You can also tell everyone your definitions on this link -#awaywegomom

Yikes! I'm so sorry you haven't heard anything yet - they emailed everyone right after the contest was over. I'll make sure you get an email today.
