It is said that a good name is better than silver and gold.
No doubt what people think of you is what makes them even want to give you the gold we talk about.
But trust me my family is the number one priority, the value I place on my family has a great margin compared to the value placed on gold.
I grew up seeing my family place plenty of value on each and everyone of us.
My dad will always sacrifice the unimaginable just to ensure that the whole of the family are in good health and are at peace with each other.
The health and peace of mind the family share is something I can not trade for anything regardless of how exquisite it is.
Note that gold can't really buy those things.
My health and that of my family is something I can not give out.
Keeping gold with no family to share from the joy of having such a valuable renders it valueless.
To me the gold can only gain value if there is something of greater value to make it valuable and to me that thing of greater value is my family.
I place much value on my family because they are my name, they are the reason why I have gotten to any stage or level I found myself, they have sacrificed a lot just to see that I stand and not only stand but stand strong.
The fact that they were used as a gateway for me to come into existence is already enough reason for me to make them my number one priority.
If they haven't placed the value on me then I wonder how I would have managed to even get the gold that is thinking of taking their place in my life.
Keep gold aside and give me my family, they are all I have got.
This was a really nice sentence ❤️❤️
And yep, the joy and wellbeing of our family (blood related and non blood related) is something priceless.
