Compliments come way to infrequent to most so it’s impressive that yesterday one complement was so poignant that it lasted two full days in this life. It wasn’t just the kind words that I received but the person who said it and that it occurred with no pretense before or after such words. To have the person just say that “I was a great father” made all the other work and pain in my life disappear at least for the moment. For in the end when G-D sends you home at least you know that those who remain might just remember some of the good you left behind.
