“Can you tell me the story of how you met?” a young man asked them while talking with them in a park.
One of the men explained that they are both in recovery from alcohol addiction and that during a difficult period in their lives, they supported each other as they stopped drinking. He then spoke about his friend with particular admiration, highlighting his knowledge of literature and culture, as well as his “kind, friendly, and warm” personality.
One is gay and the other is straight; one has a family and the other doesn’t. But those differences never stopped them from building a bond that, as they show in the video, continues to this day: they still meet up and go for walks together.
