One sunny day, Tyler and his family decided to take a vacation to a small town in Sunshine Drive. They rented a luxurious cabin in the outskirts of town surrounded by woods and nature. Sunshine drive offered many activities, such as carnivals, hiking, horse back riding and many other adventurous outdoor activities. On a gloomy day, Tyler decided to go hiking with his little brother, Dylan. They packed snacks, water, and other essentials for the hike and dressed accordingly to the gloomy weather. Starting their hike at six a.m., Tyler and Dylan were refreshed by the peaceful aroma the woods emitted. Tyler and Dylan went to the hiking center and got their supplies out. They raced up the hill and suddenly Dylan tripped and fell and scraped his knee. Tyler looked back and heard his brother crying he ran to his brother and helped him up. Dylan started crying and made a big scene and everyone around them raced up to Dylan and helped him up. Tyler was worried and didn’t know what to do and didn’t even have a cell phone with him to call his parents. So Tyler asked one of the people if he can use their phone.

Tyler immediately called his parents and told them that Dylan had got hurt during the hiking trip. Tyler looked back at his brother and noticed a significant amount of blood weeping down his knee. Dylan was unconscious and had to be rushed to the hospital. When the ambulance came Dylan was escorted to the ER. When Tyler and his family had arrived to the hospital, the doctor told them that Dylan has had a brain injury for the last four months. Tyler was so shocked and overwhelmed about his brother and asked the doctor if he was going to be fine, the doctor responded saying he has traumatic brain injury and was critical and could lead to prolonged coma in the future, and the doctor said he needed surgery right away.  Tyler and his family waited patiently to see Dylan after his surgery, when the doctor told them that you can see Dylan now Tyler rushed into the room and hugged his brother really tight and said “Thank god your alright I thought you were in a coma for a second.” Tyler stared at his brother waiting for a response.

Tyler started to scream and shout and yelled, “Dylan wake up”, Dylan did not respond and Tyler started to cry and the doctors immediately rushed into the room and informed the parents that Dylan had passed away due to his massive brain injury. The mother and father were in shock and looked at Dylan and starting to cry and kept repeating, “Dylan wake up”, “Please honey, wake up”. Tyler was standing on the side of the bed looking at Dylan, traumatized and could not believe that his best friend, younger brother Dylan had passed away.

This vacation for Tyler and his family will always be their unspeakable moment in life.
