The best compliment I ever received was from my oldest grandson. The grandkids always loved my soup. They would rather have the soup made after Christmas using the turkey carcass than they would have Christmas dinner. They used to ask me (after they were grown and moved away) to make a pot of soup and freeze some for them. When Chris was 12 years old and I was teaching him how to make Chicken Noodle Soup, he looked at me and said, "Granny, you could put Campbells out of business".
Sorry, I have another one that ranks right up there. When my DH and I re-met (we were high school sweethearts) after being apart for 45 years, he looked at me and said, "You are just as beautiful as you always were. I would have recognized you anywhere." Of course, there were several pounds added and the hair was almost white, but he was looking through different eyes than the world does.
