Dear Sir,

I don't know how I can express my thanks sir. I may never be able to truly tell you how much appreciation I have for you.
Many have tried and tried to use me. Many have tried to make into something I would never be.
You however, have always accepted my wanderings and unsureties. You treated me like family. Your assuring tone and ever ready to listen attitude has not gone unnoticed.
I in fact respect you in such a way that I have never respected a man in this world. I know that men disappoint. However with your humble ways and peaceful character. I see a person I can model and only hope to have a small part of you in me.

We don't get to choose those who are family in this life. God chooses that in his wisdom. However in the church we have a spiritual family. To me in the spiritual family I consider you as to an Father or an Uncle.

You have given so much and you continue to give.
I thank God for you daily and pray that many more will be affected by your love and gentleness.
My hat is off to you Sir.
