Family first always. They are our support and love us no matter what. Jobs are important and pay the bills, but in the end it's family who will be there for you at the end.

Family is there no matter what. Jobs are not. Have to focus on job to make money to feed family. Family needs to be supportive of job.

We grown, we need to support our family. Our bigger family, unfortunately, we cannot always count on.

I moved 1,253 miles to get away from my crazy family and their constant fighting. I ain't going back.

I was faced with this dilemma in 1981 as interest rates climbed & construction took a downturn. Jobs dried up in my city. Moved for a position during my youngest's junior year of high school. Wasn't an easy move.

I wish I did but a good quality emerald is so expensive. Yes, there are "created" emeralds, but unlike diamonds which look great, the created emeralds do not.

To continue my story (this is 3/3), I was very envious when one of my best friends got faux emeralds for her birthday and wore them first. However, I was happy to wear mine anyway. My friends bulled me because I was a "copycat" even tho they all knew I had received mine first. #meangirls!

My parents got me faux emeralds as my first pair of pierced earings and I looked at them in the box until my mom could find the "self-piercing" rings that slowly worked into your ear over a couple of weeks. When I proudly wore my birthstone earings to school my best friends bullied.

My birthstone is Amethyst. I like it. I like the color. But one, I prefer Emeralds. And two, I don't wear jewelry anymore.

No, I have no rubies, and I wept mock tears for my husband's benefit answering this.
