Answer: Being the godmother to my nephew

Explanation:

I had just broken up a very bad relationship. I still dreamed of him, kneeling down, asking me to get married, but I knew he was not the one for me.

And in the middle of that grief, I found out that my sister was pregnant, and that she was incredibly happy. Seeing everyone's enthusiasm for that baby reminded me that everything happens for a reason, that life must go on.

So I found myself kneeling in front of my sister and her huge belly, surrounded by our friends, and facing a different proposal: being the godmother to my nephew. It never occurred to me, I never thought someone would consider me for that task.

But at that moment, kneeling in front of her, there were no thoughts, no reasoning, because there was nothing to think. At that time the only thing that came out was "Yes, I do" because there was no doubt or uncertainty. No matter what happens in our lives, we will always be sisters and from that day I became the godmother of her son.

And I decided that he would always be able to count on me, to take care of him, protect him, and advise him.

That was the most valuable gift I ever got, something that can't be bought or sold.
