That evening, I spoke to my husband again, sharing how much my parents had done for us over the years. I reminded him that while business is important, family is priceless. After a long conversation, he finally softened. The next week, he not only allowed my parents to stay in one of his rentals free of charge, but he also helped them find resources to rebuild their lives.

Through this experience, we both learned a valuable lesson: true success is measured not just by profit, but by kindness and the bonds we nurture. Sometimes, helping others—especially family—is the most meaningful investment of all.
