I was helping my sister with a pretty complicated tax problem while we were at our parents house, and once I figured it out our dad said "I no longer have any concerns about selling the business you, that was damn impressive". My Dad is my idol.

My daughter giving me a hug and saying 'Never letting go'

My girlfriend Jenn saying I love you.

It was a long time ago my father was out of the game parenting wise and my mother was loony tunes and hardly remembered that she had a daughter - we were changing the beds together one day, I was about 13 y.o and she looked at me as if she hadnt seen me before and said you'll do. When you have really disinterested parents 'You'll do!' is gold dust- I am so glad I left to make my own way in life 2 years later but it still was the nicest think she ever said to me about me.

I love you Dad!

"You have the skin of a white man but the heart of a Native."

This probably doesn't make sense without the long back story to this quotation.

Best Mom in the whole universe!

That's a tie between "I love you" and "Take those clothes off and lay down, honey"...

I have been a very public figure, so nothing really stands out to me, so I will tell you one of the weirdest things instead... A week before my 40th birthday, I had all my hair cut off - that didn't work out so well, so I grew it back out... By the time it got be back almost to my shoulders, I was at a bus stop when some dude asked "has anyone ever told you that you look like Kurt Cobain?"... So, I asked "You mean before, or after he blew his brains out, what ARE you asking me!?" Lol. He went away

“Life’s a battle you make worth fighting.”

Not sure if this counts but it was baby babble from my months old niece. Significant because she was literally terrified of all men. Would cry hysterically as soon as one walked in the door. Until that day, the only man she didnt fear was her father, my brother. That day she chose me too as I held her in my arms for the first time. It is one of my fondest memories

In my 30 + years of teaching at this University I have never had anyone touch the keys the way you do. You touch the keys as if they mean something to you.

I said, "they do." I was 20.

"Can I sit on your face until I forget your name?"

When a cop says “I’ll give you a warning”

Well not quite said to me but my eldest son to his wife. She was trying to make out I was wrong on this or that and why would should I have any better idea than her, what did I know. He said, "Actually my Dad knows his stuff from all his researching and he's usually right on most things". The silence hit the floor like a brick. Cheshire cat time, Thanks Son. I had been running an awareness project for years, LOL I love the what did
I know.

My doctor once told me I have nice knees.

I get "you're so calm, cool and patient. I don't know how you do it". A lot. It's nice to hear. I have 3 kids and a troop of 15 girls. Now I don't always feel all those things... But it's nice to know people notice.

I had someone recently tell me they admire my strength and determination. That was great to hear too.

"You are a beautiful person". That was a week of sex... she was "sex on the go"... and so we did but she really meant what she said. She was on vacation and all she wanted to do was love... I lost 10 pounds... but she really found me a nice, able 19 year old islander that "she will always remember with a smile". NYC smarts of her. Still works for me. After all those decades. But the woman that asks "help me undress" nowdays gets the "Nicest Award".

my ex told me she loved she was able to be herself round me as i was so non judgemental

That I'd inspired them to become a better parent

I'm not going to give the name, but some one here sent me a message.
"I would like you to know that I always think your responses are kind, well adjusted and well thought out".

That was very nice, and very special to me.

That I'm complex woman. There was two persons which said me that and one of them was an important person in my life and in society.

A former work colleague of mine once described me as "crispy on the outside with a warm, gooey center."

You are the most non-judgmental person I've ever met.

You're way better in bed than your Dad or your brothers.
