“It is the longest video I’ve watched of him since he passed. Just give me a second.”
Jesse gently encouraged her, replying:
“Take your time.”
The broadcast briefly faded to black as Erika struggled to regain composure. When she resumed the interview, her face showed calmness tinged with ongoing grief.
Reflecting on her husband’s work, Jesse asked:
“Charlie was on a mission to save Western civilization. Did you know that's what you signed up for?”
Erika responded softly:
“No, I did not sign up for anything. I just married the love of my life.”
When asked about the day before Charlie’s death, Erika recounted:
“He was at the office and we were going to meet for dinner beforehand with a dear friend of ours, who I wanted to just be with us and pray with us before the event.”
Her words reflected both devotion and loss, as she revisited the final peaceful hours before the tragedy.
