the nicest compliment

so, tonight was my dad's farewell do. i saw people i hadn't seen since i was a teenager. some of those were my mother's old colleagues. one of them had had breast cancer before my mom got it the first time. and she said that i looked more and more like my mother, not only in looks but obviously also in spirit. the others agreed, and it was really nice, cos there is nothing that could make me happier.
