unfortunately, this sentence stands in isolation, so one really has to deduce
everything from that which follows:

最近になってやっと、家族の大切さがわかってきた。

I feel petty confused about the part before the comma xD I have a strong
feeling some stuff was omitted there ^^

I only dare to make an attempt at translation this far: "..., I came to
understand the value of family."

question
grammar
Extrapolating the contents of this phrase
最近になって means "becoming very recent", "arriving at the recent past", or simply
"very recently".

やっと means "finally", "at last", "eventually".

家族の大切さがわかってきた means, as you say, "I came to understand the importance of
family".

Put them together and you get "At last, very recently, I came to understand
the importance of family". More idiomatically, "It was only very recently that
I came to understand the importance of [the] family".
