Dad

My Dad

On the 2nd June 1962 a hero was born, a man who would change the face of this planet one life at a time. It was on this day that Andrew John Farmer was born, to be honest i dont know a lot about his life until the point where I met him. I got to meet him on the 5th of November 1992 which was a real honour, I think it was something like 330am when we met. This is when God blessed with a role model, a great friend and the number 2 Hero in my life.

Life progress and my relationship with this incredible man began to grow closer.

 He was My Hero

 There were times in my life when I got stuck, before i met God and even after, God used my Dad as my Hero. There was this time when I was really young and this girl started beating me up and my Dad was first on the scene to help me and be me Hero. Another time when I got lost for literally three hours when he was looking after me at a four wheel driving thing, just as I was about to run a way to get back myself, there he was.

He was My Helper

 To be honest sometimes i didn't know the answers, Dad was always the first person I would ask about stuff. Dad knew life, he knew what i should do in situations. Dad once ran half a race with me because I had the stitch, he got owned from it but he wanted to help.

He was My Support

I guess this is pretty self explanatory but, when I needed a shoulder to cry on he was the first person i would go to. He probably invested in some water proof spray for his clothes the amount of times that he let me let it out.

February 25 2009 at 3pmish my Dad, Helper, Support, Hero and so much more passed away. The reason I write this is as a tribute to him, although its a couple of days late it was his birthday just two days ago. Dad not only impacted me but all who he came into contact with, he led an example of how one should live out their relationship with God. He was generous, a man who had charisma and was always there when you needed him. Although he was a Hero, he helped me learn that in my life one thing is more important than all else and that is my relationship with my God, and that all else fails in comparison. 

Happy Birthday Dad, I miss you

What a legend.

This is why I live, For Jesus and for his glory, this is who my Dad lived for, so perfect and so holy, he gave his life for me and i cant help but put this in here. Its for this reason why im still here and why i do all i do.
