To wonder if?

It's the anniversary of Holly and Jessica's death from Soham today 22 years ago.
I never forget the date and its been mentioned on social media today? 4 August 2002.
I remember what I was doing, does anyone else remember dates like this.
AIBU to ask if the creature that killed them, would think about it today.
Does these horrible creatures think about it does anyone know? Do they remember dates etc.

I'm not sure I really expect anyone to know?

I think some do but in a way I don’t want to think about as it’s not remorse I’m talking about because they are sick and I don’t want a family to think about it.

a lot of others probably don’t particularly remember the date necessarily but don’t blank it all completely either.

I remember some dates but no I wouldn’t have known today and I don’t remember what I was doing but that’s not to say I have not thought about holly and Jessica or other people who’s stories have touched in some way me not a lot but sometimes I do and I think about their families.

obviously I am aware that I don’t want to come across in a way that somehow means I even remotely can conceive of what someone’s family of a person I didn’t know feels. Or make these events so how mine because they aren’t.
infact I’m finding myself unconsciously about how to write this post with the correct tone if that makes sense.

i feel voyeuristic talking about some events because they are not really mine to think it’s ok to discuss but I also know I have the best intentions and hope nothing I would say a person would feel insulted or hurt by.

I'm so with @Ginkypig on this. Ivr tried to write this as honestly and sympathetically as possible but acknowledging I don't really have that right.

i cant think about the individuals who perpetrate such crimes as my heart goes to those who matter, those who have suffered.

I remember the Omagh bombing because st pretty much the exact time occurred we got married. What was one of my most joyous days was the the most catastrophic for so many. Never heard about it until we went to our room after our reception, can member being horrified and when further details came out about the situation and how it unfolded I was devastated.
On our anniversary I give thanks for my DH, relationship and family but I always hold a private moment, thought and love for those who died and their family and friends who lost everything that day x

And i can recall the day of the Dunblane killings as my ds was away with my dsis and all I wanted to do was hug him tight.
I can remember feeling such grief, and sobbing but at the same time recognising this wasn't my grief to have, not my story, it was part if a 'national' grief and shock which although horrific was nothing in comparison to the grief family, friends and the community were/are dealing with.

Certain things stick in our minds because they are so horrific and they should never be forgotten.

Two lives cut short for what?

Every year on August 4th he should get a beating and be forced to read Kevin Wells book about how her death affected the family.

Too think he can actually apply for parole in 2040 is tragic.
