The type of people that are like sunshine! Mine was an ex manager. Never a bad word to say about anyone, had a disabled husband and both her dad and bother died young but was was just fabulous and positive

Loveliest thread ever! Love this. Defo my best friend - she’s been there through thick and thin, makes me laugh loads. Super lovely person, smiles a lot and sees the best in people. Volunteers for Amnesty International, a real good egg and I’m honoured to be part of her life xx

Hands down a colleague I've worked with for the last 5 years.i admire her so much. Warm, funny, kind, generous.

Luckyingame · 19/10/2025 18:44

Nobody to describe as "lovely".
The most worthwhile human being in my life is my husband of 20 years.

LancashireButterPie · 19/10/2025 18:49

My Mum. I like to think I learned my mothering skills from her but in reality, she was way better. RIP Mum.

Dinosaurhearmeroar · 19/10/2025 18:59

Me tbh. 😂. I get told it all the time ☀️ and I’m going to back myself here!

IAmThePrettiestManOnMyIsland · 19/10/2025 18:59

Cliché but it's my mum. She is unintentionally hilarious and has my sisters and I in stitches all the time. She has had a lot of health issues in recent years but cracks on with it no complaints. She'd give any of us her last penny and we know we can rely on her in any situation.

franke · 19/10/2025 19:05

Apart from my dh and dc, my sil. We've known each other for 40 years and I love her.

Loyalwomansfriend · 19/10/2025 19:34

Amazingly positive thread. Thank you OP.
Mine is my husband. We met later in life and he is my third (time lucky). Sadly I’ll lose him very soon to bastard cancer so I treasure every day. Kind, considerate, wears his emotions visibly. We’ve never argued and could pass every day just talking. A man among men.

ToadRage · 19/10/2025 20:05

My cousins wife is just lovely. She is always happy to see us and involves me in her children's lives. I was not close to my cousins when I was young but expressed a desire for a closer relationship to this cousin at my fathers funeral and we have all made an effort. She gets on great with my husband. They are the only family members aside from parents who have visited our house. They understand about my disability and that I can't have children which is why I like to take an interest in theirs. She has never asked me to butt out or told me that i am too interested. She always sends me pictures of milestones and she sends me a videos of them singing/saying Happy Birthday on my birthday and of them opening birthday or Christmas presents.

Goddessoftheearth · 19/10/2025 20:07

My DH - he’s a genuinely good man and is kind, thoughtful and supportive.

Also have a lovely friend who is just so positive and kind, even when her own life is difficult. She’s recently painted beautiful pictures on stones along with short and meaningful passages from the bible and leaving them in the woods for people to find. I’m not religious and I know several people who also aren’t but they have picked up a stone that has meant something special to them just when they needed it.

Bluecat7 · 19/10/2025 20:15

My s-in-law is a very golden sort of person, and my manager from of my old jobs. Both kind, patient, positive, wise people. I’m always curious and wonder if people like that are born that way or learn how to be like that.

Houndsahollering · 19/10/2025 20:15

My sister.
She is just a genuinely wonderful human being.
She is an absolutely amazing mother to my nephews - I tell her if I had to choose a different mum, I’d pick her.
She has this amazing quiet grit and determination about her.
i love the bloody bones of her.

Bbq1 · 19/10/2025 20:21

My mum. Such a kind, generous, loving mum and Nan She's just a ovely person and my best friend.

surprisebaby12 · 19/10/2025 20:22

My husband. He would do anything for the people he loves. He makes me feel so seen and heard, and is incredibly intentional around birthdays, Christmas, anniversaries etc.

OneFootAfterTheOther · 19/10/2025 20:29

My hairdresser. Just the nicest person I know.

JungAtHeart · 19/10/2025 20:39

My eldest DD. She is just the kindest, warmest most thoughtful person. Honestly like a true earth angel. My younger DD is great too but in entirely different ways 😂

Chipsahoy · 19/10/2025 20:40

My mil is lovely and positive, not in a gushing bubbly way, but she’s steady and even. And she’s passed that on to my dh. Again steady and even. Perhaps not quite as positive but not a worrier. My sil on my side is a steady lovely fun person too. I can’t think of anyone I’d describe as sunshine but I find both my mil and my sil my nervous system just feels calm and happy.

the80sweregreat · 19/10/2025 20:41

A friend of mine. So lovely and genuine and a good listener, which is a quality many lack.

ChewbaccasMrs · 19/10/2025 20:56

My DH but he'd laugh his head off about him being like sunshine but he is amazing.

He's the first man I've been able to trust,he looks after me and our 5DC(I became seriously ill within a year of having our youngest because the hospital screwed up)and he loves me like no one ever has before.

He's fiercely protective of me,our 5DC,our 2 DILs and our 2 DGC and he'd do anything for family,my parents adored him and he adored them,he's helped my parents, aunts and Uncles,my big brother,my BFF and her family.

He is my safe place and I am his and no matter what he never treats me like I'm to much to look after.

Onefortheroad25 · 19/10/2025 21:02

My 21 year old son’s girlfriend. She is just pure sunshine. They’ve been together since they were 16 and she’s a huge part of our family. Shes nearly always in good form, she’s kind, helpful, funny and has brought so much to our house. I don’t know anyone else like her.

wanttokickoffbutcant · 19/10/2025 21:04

My sister is a bright star - would do anything for anyone and is always so positive and cheery, even when things aren't great for her.

A lovely woman I work with, who I don't know very well at all but she is so upbeat and cheery that she makes me feel better just seeing her.

My mum was lovely. Could not say something bad about someone if she had a gun to her head. I miss her so much and wish I could be more like her.

ABCQWERTY · 19/10/2025 21:21

My daughter is the loveliest person I know. She is an older teenager, but a joy to be around.

There is also my SIL, if I hadn't met her through my husband, I would have still wanted her as a friend. She is kind, funny and enjoys (my sometimes odd) sense of humour, hers is similar.

My other SIL is one of the kindest people you could meer. We have different personalities, but she is just so caring and genuinely lovely.
