Daniel is eight and Carter is 12. From the time Daniel’s feet hit the ground, he’s been following behind his big brother. They shared a room for the first six years of life, Carter on the top bunk, Daniel on the bottom. Most nights, Carter started on the bottom bed with Daniel either reading to him or playing silly games with Daniel’s stuffed animals. I’m pretty sure Carter is Daniel’s favorite person on this planet.
Is it because Carter takes time to be a kind big brother? I’m sure that helps. Or, maybe it’s because he reads to him or plays silly games. That definitely helps. In all honesty, I think Daniel is drawn to Carter because of his position and relationship in life.
