Larry's parents were devout Christians. That's why he couldn't tell them about his secret life: his life of the flesh. They'd never understand. So Larry kept his distance from them and kept silent. He slowly grew out of their lives until one day it seemed he couldn't call on his mother's birthday. He didn't know where to start. Larry was living his life his own way. His parents could live their lives their way. He never knew the pain this absence caused them, until that fateful day when Larry was walking down the street and a dear friend of his mother's bumped into him.
