Leaving the Nest

Tom Taylor married his high school sweetheart and had a high paying job in finance in Florida but unforeseen difficulties arose when Tom and his wife Elizabeth noticed a developmental delay in two of their new born sons. Years of medical investigations didn't lead to any successful treatments and soon Mark and Tim were both accepted to be permanently physically and mentally disabled. Tom and Elizabeth lost faith in finding a cure and suffered together through depression. At the age of fifty, Tom started to break through the fog of depression and religious prescription. It didn't happen overnight, but Tom subsequently quit his job and embarked on his new artistic journey. As Tom transitioned from his life in Jacksonville and moved to New York City his explorations resulted in a drug addiction and he eventually found himself without money and secretively living in a gym.
