What was the best compliment you’ve received?

I’m sure I’ve received some compliments in the many years I’ve been walking this big old world.

I’m just one of those people that doesn’t seem to register compliments when they are given.

It’s as if I prefer to constantly question myself and my abilities, and react with disdain towards anything complimentary.

Strange isn’t it? I’m sitting here really trying to think of a moment in time and then one does pop into my mind…

My mother on her death bed holds my hand, looks at my wife and I any says, “You are a lovely couple”.

Maybe that’s why I struggle with it all. She was the best and nothing can ever trump that moment in time. Maybe I’ve locked the door to compliments from that moment on, who knows?

It is strange isn’t it?
