Marina Sorace-Ferreyro and Ken Ferreyro share a kiss as they prepare to leave the DMV. When Ken was arrested following complications from his post-traumatic stress disorder in 2016, their family had to split up.

After the COVID-19 pandemic hit, Ken's halfway house put stricter visiting rules into place in order to decrease exposure for their residents. Marina now sees him very rarely, and often only when he needs a ride for appointments.
