Why people dwell on their final pre-pandemic memories
Constantine Manos / Magnum
For me, it’s the last time I swam in the ocean. It was a February evening in Florida, and I didn’t know that the people I was there with would be the last new friends I’d make, on a work trip I didn’t know would be the last I’d take.
Everyone else seemed content to sit on the sand and look up nearby restaurants on the internet. But I felt like maybe I’d regret it if I didn’t go in. So I changed into a bathing suit I didn’t know I was wearing for the last time, and I swam out just far enough to feel free but still safe. Two things I haven’t felt since.
Every year, Joy and I have the unmerited privilege and high honor to spend an evening with a beloved friend, who hosts an annual Christmas dinner party at her home, complete with hors dâoeuvres, a four-course meal served to us at table by wonderful people, live piano music, lovely conversation, and singing to round out the evening.
It is an event that gathers people who donât get to see each other often or spend much time together. In fact, even in this small town, it is the only night of the year when I get to see and talk to most of them.
Something. and then i walked out and went, i did, i did something. i did something to help. that s what i wanted. reporter: what two families wanted were some answers and some relief from their pain. those answers finally came. i m pretty much satisfied with the answers right now. never prove everything 100%, josh. but i m not gonna get much more reporter: unfortunately, the criminal justice system has never doubled as a grief therapist. some wounds are too great to be healed in a courtroom. and the day that she left the door and then her voice and what she was wearing and, you know, i m getting old and you forget a lot of stuff. but those things, i just not that. i don t want to forget her, forget, you know, that image and her voice and it s hard.
