A Home.

A soldier's little girl, whose father was being moved to a distant post, was sitting at the airport among her family's meager belongings.

The girl was sleepy. She leaned against the packs and duffel bags.

A lady came by, stopped, and patted her on the head.
"Poor child," she said. "You haven't got a home."

The child looked up in surprise.

"We do have a home ma'am," she said. "We just don't have a house to put it in."

The next time you're confused between what is a house, and what is a Home, I hope this story helps you out.

  2. True. which brings me back to one of my all time favourite quote:

    "Having to place to go back to is a Gift. Having someone to Love is Life. Having both, is a Blessing."
