Thank you.

Give me and Kate a minute here.

- Yeah.

- Thank you.

Hey, you.

I know things haven't been

that great between us lately.

See, I was so lost

in my own sadness that...

I wasn't able to help you through yours.

I'm really sorry.

Kate...

none of this is your fault.

(SOBBING) I...

I never should've stood up on that boat.

(CRYING)

Look at me.

Don't think about the past.

Everything's gonna be okay.

I know what it feels like to carry

what you've been carrying.

And I'm only beginning to learn...

how to let it go.

And I'm hopin' that this is something

that we can learn to do together.

Doesn't matter what you're goin' through.

You never have to do it alone.

I love you so much.

I love you, too, Dad.

I love you so much, Kate.

WILLIE:
That afternoon,

Mack told Nan everything.

I believe you.

WILLIE:
Over the next few weeks,

Mack improved rapidly.

ALL:
Our God is an awesome God

He reigns from Heaven above

With wisdom, power, and love

Our God is an awesome God

(INAUDIBLE)

WILLIE:
I'm sure

there are some who'll wonder

if everything really happened

the way Mack recalls.

Or if any of it happened at all.

You'll have to decide

for yourself, I suppose.

But the changes I see every day

in my friend are evidence enough for me.

- MACK:
Hey.

- Willie said the bass are biting.

He'll give me 10 bucks

if I beat his five-pounder.

That's easy money.

- You bring a pole for me?

- Take your pick.

Got one for you, too,

if you're feelin' lucky.

Oh, you're on.

The Great Sadness is gone.

Mack experiences most days

with a profound sense of joy.

- He loves larger than most...

- (LAUGHTER)

he's quick to forgive,

and even quicker to ask forgiveness.

JOSH:
Dad.

He has become a child again.

All right! Whoo!

Or maybe the child

he was never allowed to be,

abiding in simple trust and wonder.

And it wouldn't surprise me if,

every now and then,

Mack takes off his shoes...

just to see if...

well, you know.
