A Unique Story About Friendship

The inseparable pair practice their golf swing.

Brian Kelly

Military Service Changes Brian's Life

At the age of 5, most kids look to their father's for guidance on riding their first bicycle or learning how to throw a baseball. But for Brian Kelly, that's difficult to do when your dad is deployed overseas in Syria.

Due to his line of work, Brian's dad isn't always able to communicate as often as he'd like or spend quality time with his son.

Dean Cravens Changes Brian's Life

We moved here the end of July last year. Their friendship started developing then, but it became very much more so since my husband left. He misses him so much.

Brian Meets Dean

While Brian may not have his father around at the moment, the little boy is still able to romp around with a best friend!

Brian eagerly knocks on Dean's door to play, tend to yard work, and spend quality time together.

Who enjoys yard work?

Brian and his dad mow the lawn together and pose for a last picture before he's deployed overseas.

Brian does! That's who!

"He loves John Deere,” says Barbara Kelly. “He gave his dad a John Deere shirt before he deployed because he loves lawn care."

And how do the Craven's feel about Brian's company?

I appreciate it a lot. I love kids and being with them. When I see they’re not having fun, I’m not.
