Maria and Jack
The woman who was crying over the grave just happened to be Maria, Joseph’s wife. She excused herself and began to speak with the older man. She explained to Jack why she was there and that her husband, the former soldier, had lost his life and was buried here in this spot.
Jack was very touched by the story, it hit him on a deeper level. It sounded very similar to what he went through, losing the love of his life at an old age. He wanted to do something for Maria, but he didn’t know what. After she left, an idea struck him when he looked down at the hose in his hand.
