A Brotherhood Blooms

Scott Strazzante

Chicago Tribune

After receiving his morning medication, Jessie Stevens,12, pulls back the curtain to interact with his mother Telitha Wright and his LaRabida Hospital roommate Dashawn Miles. Since Miles' mother is only able to visit once a week, Wright has become Miles' 'play mother' and spends equal amounts of time with both boys.
