My brother，Mark，died in a traffic accident four years ago. He was my big brother and
36 looked after me. I am
37 today for all of the special times we had as running partners，and times
38 driving to different races，where we had so many
39 about life in general. I
40 these talks terribly at this time of the year.
41 ，I am so happy he shared with me the
42 of his faith. He was always so
43 to people，and I had been with him many times
44 we pulled over to help someone in need，
45 a smile and helping them get back on the road. So I was not
46 when he told me of the time when he was
47 in college. It was the end of the month. To make matters worse，it was Friday and he had no
48 in his pocket for the weekend. Payday was Monday and he had no gas money to get home to
49 my dad and no money to buy food but he had faith that helping others
50 helping yourself.
On his way home from classes that day，as he was driving along，he noticed a guy ahead of him
51 his lumber (木材) all over the road as he turned the corner. Mark
52 right over and helped him load the lumber back into his truck. The guy was so thankful and
53 his hand to Mark，and in it was one hundred dollars. Mark couldn’t believe his
54 . He told him that was unnecessary but the man
55 and off he drove.
I still think of Mark sitting there telling me that story, with tears in his eyes, and how faithful he was.
