Re: What is the biggest compliment you have recieved
I guess Iīve had my share of compliments but the two that always stay with me are when I went to collect my then 16 year old son from his friendīs house, his friend answered the door and shouted to my son that his sister had arrived to take him home, (needless to say my son was mortified) and the other one was a few years ago when my closest friend was dying from a brain tumor and it was family visiting only, my friend told the staff that I was her sister and I quite literally rarely saw my home for 8 months, if I wasnīt at work I was with her. I have a very treasured card she wrote for me in one of her lucid moments saying it was to the best friend in the world and she couldnīt have faced any of this horror without me. I wouldnīt part with that card for a million pounds.14-12-2014, 09:39 AM

You've got a good boy there.I think my biggest compliment was from my Mother in one of her more lucid moments. I had dropped out of high school to go to work. One day I decided that I wanted to finish high school, so I went an got an equivalency diploma. When I passed the test, she said "I knew you could do it." One simple sentence; it meant the world.

This wasn't an actual compliment, but it was like a huge compliment from a dear friend, just by an act of kindness and selflessness. Around the same time my husband left me, her husband went to the gym one day, took a heart attack and died. My friend was at a girls weekend in Edinburgh. You can imagine................ Another friend called her to see how she was and the first thing she asked was "how's Myra?". Well. I was inconsolable when I was told this. A few years before, she had lost her 21 year old son in an accident. She then sent me flowers. There's hardly a day goes by that I don't think about her. What a wonderful "compliment" from a beautiful friend.
