You have worked to build me what I asked for all the days of our lives. Even when the task seemed impossible, even when it would have been easier to give it up, you did not, but kept on going.

Just as the room I built for you lies within mine. And in this way have all our wishes been granted. Together, we have made ourselves a home.
