no matter what

Guys like us, that work on ranches, are the loneliest guys in the world. They got no family. They don't belong no place. . . . With us it ain't like that. We got a future. We got somebody to talk to that gives a damn about us. We don't have to sit in no bar room blowin' in our jack jus' because we got no place else to go. If them other guys gets in jail they can rot for all anybody gives a damn. But not us. ~George from Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck
Once you recognize it in your life--whether from a spouse or sibling or friend--unconditional love and support immediately replaces the want of anything material. And if it's ever lost, you'd give anything to get it back.
And [then] We appointed for Moses thirty nights [on Mount Sinai]; and We added to them ten, whereby the term of forty nights set by his Sustainer was fulfilled. And Moses said unto his brother Aaron: "Take thou my place among my people; and act righteously, and follow not the path of the spreaders of corruption." ~Holy Quran 7:142
