Thursdays Come at Morning
by Lee Cataluna, original story by Les J.N. Mau

Two brokenhearted men meet and form a connection while visiting the graves of their loved ones. Howard has returned home to Honolulu from NYC to be caregiver to his dying father, a man who never accepted him. Sam has recently lost his husband. The two face the question of how to live fully when your best days seem to be behind you, but you realize you still have love to give.
