What was the best compliment you’ve received? – A fairly simple question from the daily prompt.

I’m not sure which is exactly the best, but when my children say I love you Dad or my grandchildren say I love you, Papa from doing something for them, that is the best. It can be as simple as sharing a snack with the young ones or sharing a meal with the kids. Usually with the young ones, it’s from spending time playing with them. Or the kids saying thanks for our family week at the beach.

When friends belly laughs at my humor that’s a great compliment. When a friend tells me years later how important some photos I took and gave him are to him.

I haven’t been on the professional side for a while now, but I used to like when managers were perplexed in how I saw systems in trouble so early or how I fixed things so fast at times. Or when we discovered fixes that weren’t in the manual or tech data in the early years before the internet. I remember vendors coming to us at times to see what and how we were using their equipment or software.
