My Brother Joseph Briskey

I have an older brother in my family his name is Joseph (we call him Joe) Briskey. He was hit by a pickup truck when he was three years old. From being hit he has brain damage in most of his brain. He was in the hospital for along time and it was to the point that he wouldnt make it but it wasnt time for him to leave his mortal body. But after along time recovery he is alot better and he had to re learn alot of things like the basic things like how to brush your teeth wash your hair and other basic needs. Joe has come a long way and he has accomplished so many challenges and I have seen him the things he has overcome and it is so remarkable and how he can still function even though he has limitations. he can play the banjo, drums, hurmonica, the super nentendo game system, and the wii. He can aslso sing to the songs from his cd players and he seems to know most of the songs. Even though Joe has limitations that doesnt stop him from wanting to keep trying he doesnt quit and when he sets his eyes on knowing the songs or playing a different instrument he will try his best and accomplish that challeneg even when he has to do a different way in accomplishing that task.

I have had numerious oppurtunitys to help him and to have fun with my older brother. He has a darrt board and we sometimes play that I am not too great at it but he is good and sometimes or almost everytime he beats me but we have fun. We sometimes work on a puzzle set that he mght need help with but most of the time he can do it he has a lot of puzzle sets and its awesome to see how he gets them finished with a puzzle set. Joe is also a missionary for the Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-Day Saints as well he is a service missioanry and he works at the Bishop Store House. I also volunteered there before and I worked along side with my brother we bag apples oranges and othere vegetables. I know that Joe is a very special person and he is so loving and caring towards our family I appreciate the example he has set for me and othere family members. Joe keep up the good work and don't let anyone get you upset you know who you are and you are never alone you have me and your family who love you and will always help you when you need it Joe I will see you when I am released as a missionary and stay strong and stay true love you bro.
