“Home is where the 0. heart_ is.” That’s so true. I’ve lived in many different houses during my 1. but not all of them have been home. When you are growing up, home is where your 2. lives. I left home when I was 3. and slowly my childhood home was no longer. Now it’s my parents’ house and not my home. I moved around a lot and only 4. a year or so in most places I lived. They never really felt like home. A home is somewhere you feel totally 5. and want to come home to. The expression “Home Sweet Home” is also true. You have to have nice feelings about it to call it home. Home doesn’t have to be in your home 6._ . I’ve lived in several countries and have had a home in all of them.
