Jack's Act of Heroism

We had a family lunch at a pavilion near the cemetery immediately following the interment.  While we were standing around talking, we saw a duckling waddle around.   


Unbeknownst to me, Jack decided to try to reunite the duckling with his family.  Amy figured it was a fool's errand, but walked the half-mile or so to the pond with him and watched as Jack went to the shore and released the duckling.


They were both amazed as the duckling started quacking and a female adult from across the pond immediately swam over and took care of the duckling.  Jack was thrilled to have reunited the family.  He kept saying how happy he was and even told Amy that he'd felt the spirit.


A little later, I walked over to the pond with Jack and Sawyer so we could see the happy family.  I don't know if was the right family or not, but it made Jack happy to see the them anyway.
