My Brother Is My Best Friend

Boston B., age 8, Texas

My big brother has autism. It is hard for him to talk and make friends, but he is my very best friend. I take care of him when we ride the bus to school, and I make sure he doesn’t get lost when we are away from home. I help him find his class in Primary and pray for him every night.

I have faith that one day he will be able to tell me what he has been thinking all this time. He will smile and tell me I am his best friend too. I am so lucky to be his brother. I love him.
