what is the nicest thing you have said to someone else?

following on from the other thread about nice things said to you, what is something nice you've said to someone else?

i'll start- when I was at school, someone wanted me to attend the school christmas play with her.

I didn't like her at all, but knew no one else would probably go with her (she constantly smelled, and people often teased her), but I said i'd go with her- despite regretting it later.

telling someone "I think you make the best bacon sandwiches!"

(when I used to eat those)

When I was giving a reference for a friend, when they asked me if she had any weaknesses, I said I couldn’t think of any. I talked about how productive she is, and how she managed deadlines so well with high-quality results. They offered her the job within a few hours!

I love you.

You’ve been worrying a long time. Now it’s time for you to let me worry.

Well, I guess I've said and done a number of good things throughout my life along with some bad ones.

When I was a little kid, I was usually always nice to the bullied or least popular kids. I remember helping this one little girl who was always teased because she was very overweight. But then her mother invited a few kids to a birthday party of hers, and I refused. I now feel bad about that even though it's probably over 42 years ago. Then later I befriended the least popular girl in the class at another school. That eventually ruined my chances of popularity, but I didn't mind because I had a lot of ballet friends. But when I quit ballet I ended up with no friends at the high school. Even that least popular "friend" ditched me. I was devastated about quitting ballet and being completely alone. That, I believe, sparked my first major bipolar episode. It was such a bad breakdown that the school guidance counselor recommended I go to private school. I did, and that helped. I found many friends there.

I guess as a young woman my best words were declarations of love to my first love and my now husband. I always showed great love for my siblings and parents, too. When I was 34 my mother was dying of cancer and the last thing I said to her was that I would love her forever. I and do/will.

As for more recent nice things said, I guess I must mention how I compliment and show adoration for my psychiatrist. I really do admire and adore the man. I often tell him in various ways. He usually just remains silent, but he shows his doctorly affection towards me in small ways. I have also had the best therapist I've had in my life these past 4 years. I'm a little tough on her sometimes, but I do respect and appreciate her. I have told her in various ways these things and I know she appreciates them.

My husband is my true love, and has stuck by me through thick and thin since knowing me these past 22 years. I guess I've said and done thousands of wonderful things to him, as he's done for me.
