It is true that all of us have faced or facing some difficulties in our lives, it's unavoidable and it's a part of growing. Anything that does not kill you makes you stronger. This is definitely true for Gerald. He was an old enough man to know that a relationship with a straight guy would only cost him an effort, heartbreak, and money.
Upon losing his job, he was left by his boyfriend and he was suddenly in the middle of confusion and mess that he thought would only be solved by moving to another place, to a far place. He decided to sell off his beloved stuff and items to earn extra cash.
As an unexpected bonus for depressing situation, one day, there was this young kid who approached to help him clean his yard. Little did he know, the kid would bring him somewhere he thought he would not be able to go to.
