Reasons

We all have a reason for everything. Jake was my reason. My brother wanted to help people, he wanted to be a doctor. And I looked up to him so much. He always cared about me, and I was closer to him than our parents. We were friends for life. Then, one day he was walking to his college where he was getting his doctorate when he was hit by a car. He was rushed to the hospital, and I sat by his side after the operation that failed. I watched the life leave my brother's eyes, and decided I would live out his dream for him. I figured since he was always by my side, I would be by doctors' sides, helping them as he had helped me. Today was the 4 year anniversary of his death, and every time I looked at the doctor today I saw Jake. It was really hard to even glance at him. I still miss you Jake.
