This is never going away. Poor Teddy.
I just realized how young he was at
the time, and I didn't know Mary Jo was older.
Killing another person has lasting power. "Poor Teddy" not only has to deal with people never forgetting how he allowed Mary Jo to die, but he will have to answer to God, who will present him (Ted) with his Book Of Life.
40 million fetuses will come tumbling out, along with the corpse of Mary Jo and goodness knows what else.
As a Christian I am duty bound to pray for The Swimmer's everlasting soul. But the idea he will have to face Divine Justice somehow make me feel better.
Mary Jo was 29, Teddy was 37.
