Takes a while sometimes to realize that the best things in life don't always come in glitzy packages with satin bows. Sometimes the best gifts are those where a person gives of themselves..
We too often get caught up in society's frenzy and forget what is truly important. material things - diamonds, furs, cars clothes....especially when it comes to relationships and black women especially have been notorious for equating a man's wealth to his pocket book - first things you get asked around birthday time or valentines or any holiday - "What did he give you..?"
And if it's not shiny or glittery or goes on the third finger of your right hand - right away he's dismissed. All in the realm of superficial...See I can say this because the cake in this picture means more to me than all those things - the person who got it for me actually left their job traveled miles on three hours sleep just to make sure they got it for me ON my birthday....I could say more and fill in more details but it speaks for itself.
You can't put a price on that - these are the ones that you keep close to you...they are rare but they are themselves worth more than their own weight in gold.
