We Can’t Keep Losing: “What We Bury, Our Children Inherit”

By Steven Adebanji

Joseph and Mathew were more than childhood best friends--they were brothers forged in the fires of Hollow Ridge, a place where dreams died young and loyalty meant survival. Together, they believed they could outrun poverty, pain, and the ghosts of their fathers. But everything changed the day Leslie walked into their lives... and Joseph made a choice that shattered their bond forever. Twenty years later, silence still hangs between them like a wound that never closed. Now both successful, both fathers, and unknowingly neighbors in a new community, fate pulls them back into each other's orbit. But this time, their children--Jayden and Lily--form a friendship reminiscent of what once was. As old tensions rise and unspoken truths begin to surface, Joseph and Mathew must face the echoes of their past before it passes down to the next generation. Will they confront the pain they buried, or continue the cycle of quiet ruin? We Can't Keep Losing is a deeply emotional story about brotherhood, betrayal, generational healing, and the fragile art of forgiveness. Through laughter, tears, and a comically heartfelt backyard barbecue, two men learn that sometimes the bravest thing you can do... is speak again.
