As an Army Staff Sergeant and devoted single father to two special needs sons, he shoulders the weight of everyone else's needs. Between pre-dawn PT sessions, therapy appointments for the boys, and the shadows of PTSD that follow him home from deployment, Jerry has forgotten what wanting something for himself even feels like. This is love in his world: sacrifice, structure, and showing up no matter how bone-deep the exhaustion runs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen his best friend Mac and his mother Maggie refuse to take no for an answer, Jerry finds himself boarding the \u003cem\u003eElysian Serenade\u003c\/em\u003e with a duffle bag and a chest full of guilt.
