Christmas Day, 2014, the tumor in my mom's breast burst and covered her remaining lung. She could barely talk let alone breath by the time the ambulance reached the ER... The doctor told us she wasn't going to make it, but my mom already knew that. Then she said something to me (in a very weak, whisper) shortly before moving her to the room she died in... 5 years later I asked my dad if she ever said anything to him at the hospital before she passed. He said she didn't speak to anyone after she got the news... My mother's last words were: "Son, you are the best thing that ever happened to me."

This is so beautiful 🥺💓

[@dark.angel1880]

The kindest thing someone's said to me: I made a friend in the first grade. Her Mom soon deemed us "sisters" and herself my "other Mother". I had a very hard childhood and this wonderful woman always went out of her way to make things easier for me and to show me love. Going on a year ago, I was having problems with my housing situation and I went to stay with them for two weeks. On the day I was heading back to my home city, while saying goodbye, she took my head in both her hands, looked deep into my eyes, and said "You grew up beautifully." At that point she knew me from age 6 to 26. The amount of love and sincerity in her voice made that moment stand out to me. And it always will. She was always someone who I knew cared for me deeper than most. Her and her daughter, and now her grandson. I have a little family that I wasn't born into but I know will always love me as one of their own.

Somebody once told me, "I want to be like you." Knowing myself, including all my flaws, i was pretty surprised to hear that and it really melted my heart. Made me think i must have been doing something right.

[@anieti006]

Me too. A lot of people say the want to be like me but I have never really allowed myself to enjoy and appreciate that, because of my insecurities. In retrospect, I think that is the kindest thing people have said to me.

@Nina Barakat thanks, i'll take that as a compliment, lol. i don't think the person was referring to my looks though. i'm sure she meant something else. 🙂

Once I was told by a complete stranger that I was really beautiful. Anytime I ever felt ugly I always thought of her words. I've been wanting to pay it forward since then and compliment a stranger but I often feel too awkward or creepy saying it so I just say nothing. To anyone reading this though, I think you're beautiful. Also, try to compliment more strangers, it might totally make their day and maybe stick with them for the rest of their lives. (Just try to do it tastefully so you don't come across as just creepy)

When I applied for my first job out of high school, I gave the worst interview and couldn’t answer a few questions because I was so nervous. But I was polite, and somehow, the interviewer (who became my first boss) decided to hire me. I always try to do my best, but I had a low opinion of myself. They trained me and helped me develop people skills, I was so grateful. They were one of the first people who gave me constructive feedback rather than just criticism. After about two years, out of nowhere, my boss said, “I’m so glad I hired you.” and it was so kind of them because they were the one who built me up. It made me feel like they saw my potential even when I couldn’t.

[@emilyx8377]

People who are nervous and polite tend to follow instructions well because they listen carefully and work hard to do what's right. Your boss sensed you were trustworthy and humble.

“You will become the mom who’s home is welcoming, where all the kids want to be and hang around” - said to me by a friend the morning after a night out when we were chilling on my balcony. I’m 21, and he is 19. I’ve never felt so deeply proud. It made me feel very connected to my mom and grandmother because they always were that home for neighborhood kids. I told them that.

May the Lord bless you, heal your hurting heart, and make you one of His own adopted sons so that you forever experience the care and love of the Heavenly Father:) By the way, I'm a grown man with kids of my own, and I still enjoy the fact that my sister calls me "Bubbie" 😉

[@burningshadows01]

The kindest thing ever said to me was my husband: I need to give pretext. I was in an abusive marriage and got out. During that marriage and after I kept trying to be who people wanted me to be, not who I was because the ex always forced that on me. When I met my now husband we were talking after we got together and I asked. What do you want in a partner? What is it you are looking for? He said: I want you to be yourself. I freaked out, curled up into a ball on my bed and was hysterically crying while attempting to get out: But I don't know who that is! He just held me and said: That's ok, I'll be here when you figure it out. I'll be here while you figure it out. He said even if we didn't end up together as a couple he would be there for me. He was willing to step back from his feelings for me to make sure I was ok. He has been my husband for 9 years and we've been together for 11 years. He is the most caring person I could have ever asked for.
