The Daily Writing prompt asks – What was the best compliment you’ve received?

The first thing that came to mind was compliments about our children’s happiness and behavior when they were young. No specific one lept out, because it was a long time ago when they were young, it was just that sense of pride that felt good when they came.

I’ve gotten some nice compliments at work over the years. Ones that were extremely special and touching. Many performance reviews but the more important ones from co-workers whom I admired.

Right near the top would be the compliment “You’re a great friend, you’re like a brother to me.”

But these two are the tops for me. They are important because you have to work hard at it and earn it. And those compliments are when my better half says to me “I Love You” and when my children say “You’re a great dad.”
