Hello everyone, you’re welcome to my blog.
What are the things that are priceless to you.
There are a lot of things that hold so much value in our lives that it might not mean much to others but means a lot to us. For some it could be family heirloom transferred down to generations, it could be simpler things like a gift from a friend. It can be related to our culture and heritage, it could be an object that reminds us of someone very special, it could be very important in our life who to others is just an ordinary person but to us they mean the world.
Yes, I have something like that in my possession which is my dad’s blanket he gave me one of his blankets before he passed. He had 2 of such blankets and when I was going back to school, I asked dad to give me one of them and he finally did, that blanket reminds me of my dad each.
It reminds me of all the childhood memories I shared with dad, the times we stayed up to do my school assignments till late at night and how we ate together and enjoyed sweet moments together. He will always want us to eat together as a family, making the family bonding time is complete.
Just like dad gave me he also gave mom her own and she also cherishes it till date just like I do. To many others it is just a mere fabric that holds no value, but to me it means the whole world. It reminds me every day of the kind of man my father was, a man of integrity, love, kindness, humility and a diligent man. A man who has the fear of God a devoted Christian.
Each day I use my blanket I’m reminded of my fathers love and warmth towards me all the fatherly love and advice that he always gave and his encouragement that made me become the woman I am today.
I’m glad to write this prompt on ladies of hive to share my experience about something that means the world to me.
Thank you for stopping by my blog today.
