The Best Compliment I Have Ever Received

"To Chryss...thanks for adding beauty to this place...and thanks for being a beautiful person inside and out...thanks din for listening to my stories and for sharing your stories as well... i would surely miss Heather...mamimiss ko ang mga dangling earrings mo at mamimiss ko ang girl na allergic sa manggas..take care girl!"

This is from an officemate's farewell letter, sent a few days before she left the company. We weren't really that close, I just exchange stories with her every now and then, greet her with a beso every time i see her. And yet it's surprising how she was able to move me to tears (well, nearly moved me to tears) just by a few simple lines in her email. It's not that she said i was beautiful, frankly these days i don't normally care if i am (ask anyone who really knows me), it's just that nobody else ever told me i'm a beautiful person on the inside as well. It touches me to know that somebody who isn't even close to me can look past the surface and see something else underneath - something even some of my closest friends weren't able to do.
