Graciousness in accepting compliments in public life
A reader asks how to acknowledge a compliment gracefully without sounding egotistical and suggests replying with a simple thank you. In another letter a family grapples with a spouse's illness and doubts from relatives highlighting the need for open conversation and medical proof. A third writer faces heartbreak when discovering a son raised for two decades is not biologically his, with guidance on preserving the father–son bond.
