'A gift from God, a friend for life and an inspiration to many lives' quoted by ruiyong
I think basically this quote actually can sum up everything.

Hey freedy,
I want to thank you for being a great blessing to my life. When i was just a spiritual infant, u choose to nurture me, grow me and invest in me. Times when i choose to rebel and go against you, you still choose to remain faithful. Though i know you have difficulty in expressing, i know you truly care. I know you do find it difficult in taking care of me because we are 2 very different people, but i appreciate that you still give your best. My heart is filled with gratitude for all you've done. You have definitely built up strongly on my foundation in God and thus, i'm able to be who i am now and still running this race.

I appreciate you for your realness in life and bringing up the 'eccentric-ness' of yours into the group. You have contributed greatly in providing constructive ideas (at times =D) and bringing out the dynamics of the team. Life will be so boring without you around (especially during BGT). I treasure this friendship with you because this friendship will last for eternal and i'm glad to have a brother like you around. I'm looking forward to our friday's match because there is just such a thrill in playing you compared to the others. haha. I enjoy those small chats with you as they can be really insightful and fun when comes to nonsense.

Since my early days in church, you have inspired me greatly on how a church should be. You have driven me to go for my goal in becoming a leader like you. There are many incidents when i feel like giving up, you will be there to help me sort things out and to reconcile me back with God. Through these years of your leadership, you have shown me about your perseverence and determination for your group especially in the last couple of years. You are really a Man of God and a man with character. I have seen you stretching yourself in the aspect of love. You still choose to be loving even they are unlovable, you have grown a great deal and you have made God proud in your willingness to invest His Kingdom. I'm just a mere person that is impacted by you, but i know that you have definitely great impact to many others out there. You make a difference!

We'll see each other again real soon! Remember to be back in your vacation break k! =D
