I’ve left a piece of me behind for everyone I love. I started to have anxiety once we had a date for the transplant because I still hadn’t figured out what to leave you. It came to me the night you visited me and brought me and Cara Spumoni ices. The three of us sat in the yard, eating our ices, reminiscing about the years when we shared a bedroom. Cara was fascinated as we talked about our childhood and the mischief we found ourselves in as kids. It was a great night, just the three of us hanging out. It reminded me of the day the both of you came to watch me race at the track.
Anyway, I guess what I’m trying to say is that I was holding out, hoping to find the perfect gift to leave you. I’ve found it, big brother. I’m leaving you the biggest piece of my heart and trusting you to take good care of it. I know you will. I know that you will cherish what I’ve placed in your hands.
I’ve written you a letter, different from the ones written in this book. This is separate. It’s in a sealed envelope. I’ve left Cara instructions to give it to you but not when to give it to you. I suggest you wait a while before reading it but ask that whenever you decide to read it, that you read it with an open mind and a willing heart.
The sun is starting to rise.
It’s almost time.
I love you bro.
Thanks again.
Your brother,
Jake
