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.
