Look up "The House That Built Me" by Miranda Lambert. Listen to these words. I hope that you never feel this way, but if you ever do, I hope we are able to provide you a safe haven like this one always was for me.
This is the house that built me:
My room was where those 2 windows on the right are
We moved in when I was 10, and this is where I lived until Bella was born. Those first few weeks after we had you this is where we stayed. My entire childhood is contained within these walls. This is where your dad picked me up for our first date. This is where we fell in love. I have so many memories of this house, and I'm sure you do too. Your grandparents don't live here anymore, but to me, it will always be home.
We've called the house we live at home now for 7 years, but hopefully very soon we will have a new house to call home. I know there we will make tons of new memories.

We are so happy to be able to provide these things for you, and we can't wait to make a million new memories here together. I know right now it's hard for you sometimes to grasp the reasons why your dad is away so much, and why I'm always so tired. But know that EVERYTHING we do is for you. Every sacrifice we are making now is to give you girls more than we had growing up, because ya'll deserve more. I hope that this will always be "HOME" to you as your granparent's house will always be to me.
