Many sayings or statements begin with or contain the word home such as: Home is where the heart is or I’m going home for the holidays. But what is home, a place or a state of mind? For many people the definition will differ as to what home actually is but for all intents and purpose a home is usually considered to be a person’s place of residence. Their residence is where they live, sometimes by themselves, perhaps with a significant other, often with their family. Families can range from a couple with children, single parents or grandparents raising their grandchildren. It is a place where they can come and live their lives. People who are raising children will be providing a safe place that will allow the children to create memories, much like they did when they were growing up.
When children grow up they usually leave home for the first time when they go off to college, get married, get a job or go into the service. Sometimes they live close by and the anxiety of leave home is less. When they go off far distance and cannot visit their loved one regularly, they will often develop homesickness. They are so overwhelmed by being away from home for long extended periods that will actually develop symptoms of illness that may include headaches, depression, nausea or stomach problems. Homesickness can be overcome by keeping in close communication whenever possible through phone calls emails, letters, cards and texts. Once a child is acclimated to their new home, the systems will disappear.
A childhood home will be the place where someone grew up and where perhaps they still have family members living. On holidays, such as Christmas or Thanksgiving, we long to go home to visit our relatives and relive the magical moments of childhood and gather around the best 26 inch LCD TV. Often our families will accompany us and then we can share those memories of growing up in the home with them. Robert Frost wrote “Home is the place where, when you have to go there, they have to take you in.” Going back to our childhood homes is a safe comfortable refuge for most people when times of trouble or heartbreak are upon us. Divorce, abuse, loss of a job, or death of a child or spouse will send us back home for comfort and relief. People need to know that when they want, need, or have to go home, someone will open the door for them.
Home is therefore a place and a state of mind. It is where we love and are loved and can be many different locations. It does not have to be limited to one place or one state of mind. It is where we want it to be. And the best 26 TV makes it even friendlier.
