thoughts on tomatoes

I have a friend, he's a lot older than I am. He plants tomatoes. His life is one that is gentle and in humble service to God. If he is one of the Meek that Jesus referred to than I can see him inheriting the earth. I have never heard one word of anger or hatred come from his lips. He inspires me to be a better human and Christian.
It is his eternal sunshine and positive. He tells me that he loves me and I believe him. I love him too- Love, of course, is not an accurate word. I love him as I would love my father and my friend. It amazes me that this kind of emotion is possible and saddens me that we don't feel that kind of love for all others.
Perhaps if there were words in English that would describe and ascribe such levels of love without the cynical would not misinterpret.
