But even as we sat in the interview, Keith, I mean –

There was a lot of trepidation.

He's somebody who's very thoughtful about everything that he said, everything that he's been through.

And I think that had the effect of him wanting to make sure that he said everything correctly.

He's so used to being interrogated, being asked about the same set of events over and over and over that he really was very specific in how he wanted to say it.

So, yeah, he's somebody who has certainly been through a lot.

And I'm glad that he decided to sit down and talk to us about it.

Plenty of times.

Plenty of times.

I have to say, Keith, I think this was probably the longest Dateline interview I've done.

I mean, between starting, stopping, yes, just kind of allowing him to take a few moments.

We were in it for, I mean, almost the entire day.

It is.

And I mean, I can only assume, but yes, talking with Chris, but also speaking with people who have lost loved ones to any number of things, people who have lost a spouse along the way, and then kind of moving on.

There is a piece of your heart that always lives with that person, but then there's the piece of your heart that then goes on and continues to live your life, or so I'm told.

But I can't imagine, and I...

I would imagine there's nothing easy about kind of walking through that and trying to balance that.

And you took that as a sign.

And so that was really a moving part of the interview.

I have to say, Keith, that his wife was actually there in the interview.
