Katie Garvey:
Daddy, what's the greatest thing you ever saw?
Ben Garvey:
Greatest thing you ever saw. Umm. One time when I was a little boy, I was playing with my slingshot and I saw this Jaybird. I don't know why but I shot him.
Katie Garvey:
You killed a birdie?
Ben Garvey:
I didn't mean to. I don't even know why I shot at him, but I felt so bad, I started praying to God that he would come back. And all of a sudden the Jaybird woke up. He just flew away.
Katie Garvey:
God saved him?
Ben Garvey:
Yeah, I think so.
Ben Garvey:
I did something real bad. Something that I didn't mean to do.
Katie Garvey:
Like the Jaybird?
William Reeds:
There are no accidents. There are only things we do and what those things do to other people.

There's a struggle. How do you live if you're ruled by your past? But, how do you let go of a past that made you?
Father Ezra:
You don't have to forget. You just have to move on.
