The older I grew, the more determined I became to build my own home and break free from the reality I’d been living in.

So, I promise…

In the future, I will build a home that’s more the bricks and walls. It will become a safe sanctuary of unsaid thoughts and sad emotions. It will feel like a warm hug despite a bad day.

I will build a home that’s more than an organized and clean space; I will also decorate it with our found love and paste our pictures on the wall. I will be proud of your achievements and fill the wall with your certificates.

I will build a home that’s more than just home-cooked meals or chicken noodle soup. It will be a place filled with love, where we can enjoy breakfast together and have wonderful conversations. You can tell me how your day went as we eat our dinner together without an ounce of judgment.

I will build a home that’s more than a bedroom or a restroom. It will be filled with laughter and comfort. Every corner of every room is proof of our undying love.

I will build a home that’s more than a roof over your head or a bed you can sleep on. It will become a place of joy and bliss. A place where our souls can remain calm.

I will build a home that is much more than just a building. You can breathe freely, with complete confidence in your safety.
