This picture was taken after our little brother was born. The picture is of our family. Dad is holding his tiny brother in his arms; Mom is hugging Dad with one arm, and Mike and I with the other arm.

‘ Yes, I remember that day very vividly, ’ mom remembers, almost bursting into tears.

‘ Yes, I remember that day, too, ’ I said with a smile.

We simultaneously take our eyes off the wall where our pictures are hanging, and move into the hall. Mom starts looking for the TV remote. And then she says:

‘ God, has Dale been playing with it again? ’ she asks me, like I live in the same house as them.

‘ I don't know, ’ I answer and shrug.

Mom puts her hands to her sides and starts thinking about where he might have put the remote.

‘ Okay, Mom, I'm going to my room, ’ I say, and start walking up the stairs.

I went into my room and jumped on my bed. I turned on my phone and started looking at an ad that said casting was open for the lead role of Chad in «Love at a Distance». I watch with overflowing emotion. I think my name could have been on screens and billboards in town. People would recognize me on the streets and know my name. I would be a different Jake Evans. I'm still hoping that things will change.
