I don't take compliments all too well.........but there are two that still cut straight to my heart when I think of them.........

No matter where I was on New Year's eve.......at the stroke of midnight I would call my mother and wish her a Happy New Year (as I knew she would be alone, but still awake.....and we never missed a year from the time I can remember in saying it as it was happening) and my boyfriend's mother caught me doing this once....and when I explained why I did it, she said, "That is the sweetest gesture I've ever known anyone to do. I wish my children were so considerate!"

And......the fact that my sister named her daughter (of her twin boy and girl) after me. She said she hoped my personality would rub off on my namesake!
