i recently read something from a woman
writing about her life online
having a really tough day
who got the best compliment she has ever received
from a reader who she didn’t know –
‘if we were in kindergarten together,
i would have hung my coat up on the hook next to yours.’
she said it brought her to tears,
and then, great joy.
wow, i loved this compliment too.
what is the best compliment you have ever received?

That’s a great compliment. The best one I ever received was after delivering a baby for a single mother when I was an EMT in London. She had gone into labour, and the baby came quickly, on the floor of the kitchen with her back against the cooker. The mother asked my name, and I was wondering if she was going to name the baby after me. But she added, “I have already chosen the name Marley for my son, after Bob Marley, so won’t be calling him after you. But I will tell Marley that he was delivered into this world by the kindest man I ever met, and that man’s name was Pete.”
Best wishes, Pete.
