From the moment they first met in kindergarten, Blanco Vista Elementary students Owen Sirmons and Gunnar Franchione have been nearly inseparable.

Like most best friends their age, the duo, who sit next to each other in class, try to stay at the forefront when it comes to creating new handshakes and coming up with new dance moves.

Video games in recent years have been a way the two have been able to share a common bond that goes beyond physical differences. Sirmons has Escobar Syndrome, a condition that forces him to spend much of his time in a wheelchair.
