Different strokes, I suppose.
I probably have just not in a sickeningly overly sentimental way and while using a quote typed up by someone else that for some reason has gone slightly viral on the internet, probably found on google images or something.
But yes I am usually more of a forthright person myself, If I miss someone I tell them, if I apreciatte something I'll tell someone on the phone. I tend to avoid telling 100 other people who don't care and who don't even know the person I'm talking about.
Different people have different styles. I don't go in for big gestures myself, normally, but when the occasion merits, it is useful. When someone does me a big 'do, it's only fair that I pipe up and let others know that they're good folk, right?
Accolades cost me very little. It doesn't hurt me one bit to praise a person, when it's merited. And doing so publicly gives the person a little boost in itself.
