Both brothers say they enjoy sports and being outside.
“In my free time, I play basketball, sleep, and game,” said Elijah.
“I also play basketball outside, throw the football, or play my game and do tech stuff,” said Elisha.
“I’m good at baseball and he’s good at basketball,” said Elijah. “But I’m not that good at baseball. Last time, I couldn’t hit the ball.”
“He hit me in the head with a baseball—by accident. It wasn’t serious, but he thought it was,” said Elisha. “I broke his ankles in basketball, though.”
“It’s important for me and him to stay together. Just having him around, especially on a bad day, means we always have each other’s backs,” said Elisha.
What we can bring to a family is , trust, and care.
