Tell me about the loveliest person you know!

[bearlyactive]

And before anyone jumps on me, yes I know the word "lovely" is overused!

I'll start by talking about my friend. I've only known her a few years but we just seemed to click (we often joke that we're turning into each other, because we tend to have the same thoughts at the same time). She'd genuinely do anything for anyone and she is always, ALWAYS smiling.

So come on, MNers, tell me about that person who always lifts your heart!

NB: not a journalist, just someone seeking positivity, because God knows we need it!!

My mother in law. Genuinely a very lovely, warm caring lady. Will do anything for anyone - she's in her 70s and looks after her 'elderly' neighbour who is only two years older than her but frail. She's there if I need a shoulder to cry on, gives good advice, never interferes and brought up her sons to respect women and look after themselves.

I am a cleaner.. Quite a recent customer had become an instant close friend. She has health issues and a disabled dc who lives in sheltered housing.. She never complains and as much as I am employed to help her she has added massively to my life also. She is cheery, ambitious and a very welcome addition to my life. She has appointed herself auntie to my dc. She says she feels proud to have them in her life. Albeit virtually due to Covid! She is a lovely woman.

One of my colleagues - she has to contend with chronic illness and depression, but she always knows the right thing to say and means it, she can call people out but do it in a sensitive and kind way, and is great at her job. She's young (late 20s) but has a lot of wisdom and maturity - she will go far, and by being a nice person, not in spite of it!

My best friend, who died 5 years ago.

She was genuinely the kindest, most selfless person I've ever met and I miss her desperately. We'd been friends for many, many years.

My OH. I opened my lunch box today to find a heart shaped wrap . After 12 years the romance is still alive!

So sorry you lost your lovely friend November

My mother in law-she’s one of my besties
She’s warm,loving,never pokes her nose in and treats me like one of the family-she (and fil) are amazing

My friend Nina-she was amazing
Supportive,caring,would do anything she could to help,never judgemental and an amazing woman
She died a few years ago and is very much missed by all that knew her-if I’m half the person these woman are/where then I won’t go far wrong

My mom, genuinely the kindest, nicest woman in the world, I know I am truly lucky.

My daughter. Really funny, works frontline in the NHS is so kind and understanding with her staff. Looks after me and is just such a loving, clever, funny person. I'm super proud she is mine.

Another here who loves her mother in law. Genuinely THE most amazing person I know, I've never met someone with so much love, warmth, generosity and positivity, for not only her family and friends but every single person she meets. She has a genuine interest in anyone she meets, is intelligent so has great conversation and is good fun. She does a ton of charity work, often spending her own money to help people less fortunate than herself. She also always sees the best in people. I feel I have learnt so much from her in the 13 years I've known her. She's truly inspiring and I love her very much :)

I'm so sorry, she sounds incredible

My dh.
The most sweet , loyal person you could ever wish to meet. .

My son. Everyone loves him and he has a lovely, gentle friendly nature.
He hugs people (in normal circumstances) and he does it naturally, like it's part of who he is, not like it's something he feels he should do.
He works in a supermarket and I know a few of his workmates and they stop me to remind me how lovely he is.
He is also funny all the time and we laugh when we are together.
His girlfriend is of a very similar nature and she's lovely too. I laugh at her because even when she thinks she's being horrible about someone, it's so mild and not really horrible at all but she still gets in a flap about it!

My Mum was the loveliest person I have ever known. She saw good in everyone and I really mean everyone. She spent her life in roles where she helped people.

Hundreds of people turned up to her funeral. Loads of people I didn't even know said she was their best friend. She had a lot of best friends!

My dad was amazing. He was kind, insightful, clever, generous, funny, thoughtful. I miss him every day.

Most.of my friends and my dm

Our downstairs neighbour. Over the past year he and his boyfriend have been so helpful to us. I was pregnant for lockdown, and this guy shopped for us every week. Since DD has been born he's been just as helpful and amazing - picking stuff up for us if we need it. We hardly knew the guy this time last year, but thanks to his unstinting kindness we've become good friends. Absolute legend.

My daughter. She is a young adult and I know I am biased but she is the sweetest, funniest, most caring, uplifting, positive person anyone could hope to meet.

She was my best friend. A GP, mother is of two beautiful boys. She died five years ago from cancer. I will miss her kindness, tolerance and sense of humour til I die myself.

My best friend. We've been friends since we were 8 years old and 'best' friends since we were 18 or so. She's thoughtful, compassionate, funny and caring. We WhatsApp every day, multiple times a day. She's like my right arm. We see eachother in person very little due to distance, and her job which commands long shifts. I'd be lost without her, she is family.

My late nan too. She was completely selfless and everything she did was for others. She was truly rare and I feel so lucky that she belonged to me. I miss her terribly.

I can't imagine your loss, her little boys too. How sad. Fuck cancer!!!

Cancer is so cruel, I'm so sorry for your loss

It definitely has to be my sons best friend 🙂

My son has some health issues which causes him anxiety and he doesn’t have much confidence.

The boy in question

• Is extremely kind
• Thoughtful
• Always tells him the things he is good at
• Loyal

Now we are on lockdown again, he calls/FaceTimes my son at least twice a day.

This lovely child is ONLY 9 years of age, I am so grateful that chose my son to be his best friend.

Ah GoGina that really is lovely.

He sounds wonderful, your son is very lucky to have him!
