I'm not big on compliments. More often than not... when people say nice things about me, I think it's out of courtesy. Or I feel that it's part of my duty to act a certain way.
This weekend... my MIL sent me a text after the Mother's Day dinner that made me puff up my chest just a little bit. "Thanks for holding the mother's day party. I'm so happy and impressed that you are a great father and husband. Thanks for everything."
I really could care less about what they think of how I treat their daughter or their grandkids... cuz again, I stand on solid ground on who I am. But still... it's still nice to hear.
However... despite what MIL said, it simply doesn't rank up there with what my FIL said to me the day I asked him for his blessing before proposing to Joyce. "我都好放心將曉瑜交比你."
So simple... so direct... yet so authoritative.
