Farmer Ted

Farmer Ted is 13 years old, and has been one of my best friends for as long as I can remember.

Farmer Ted pretty much always has a smile on his face, which makes me smile, and he has a wicked sense of humour which makes me laugh.

He is kind of at that age where hugs are for losers, but not him, he will always give me a hug, and he has no problem with coming up to my room for a little chat and a giggle.

We have so much fun together, we don't even have to be doing anything in particular, just being together is fun!

Sure there are times when Farmer Ted is annoying, when I wish he would leave me alone to sleep, or let me concentrate on something that I was doing.

But I wouldn't change him for the world, he knows how to pick me up when I feel down, he knows I am always there for him, and I know he is always there for me.

I know I don't tell people enough, and I don't actually remember the last time I told him this, but I love Farmer Ted, and the happiness he brings into my life.

Farmer Ted is my little brother, and he isn't a farmer, but he is one of the coolest, most thoughtful people I know. He is a great example to me, and he probably doesn't even know it.

I guess we can't pick our family, but we can pick our friends, I just got lucky that my  little brother is both. I love spending time with him, and look forward to our little road trip at the weekend.

My brother makes me happy. Try to find someone that makes you happy, it makes life easier...
