And the hate crime hoaxes just keep on coming

First, the situation and the article, from Breitbart.com:

Prosecutors Charge LGBT Activist with Burning Down Own Home with Pets Inside

by Joshua Caplan

Michigan prosecutors say Nikki Joly, a longtime LGBT activist, set fire to her home and killed her pets due to resentment from subsiding controversy over the enactment of nondiscrimination legislation he advocated for.

Let’s leave the identity politics out of this scenario for a moment. What kind of a sick and twisted person do you have to be in order to set your own home on fire for ________ motivation, knowing and then allowing your very own pets to immolate inside?

The Detroit News reported Monday that law enforcement charged Joly, a transgender man from Jackson, Michigan, burned down her own home, killing five pets inside, in what was initially investigated by the FBI as an alleged hate crime in 2017. The newspaper, citing two individuals who worked along Joly at St. Johns United Church of Christ, where the Jackson Pride Center is based from, reported that Jolly, 54, had become “frustrated the controversy over gay rights had died down with the passage of the nondiscrimination law.”

The Detroit News reported:

Meanwhile, a police investigative report suggests a possible reason for the fire.

Two people who worked with Joly at St. Johns United Church of Christ, where the Jackson Pride Center was located, said he had been frustrated the controversy over gay rights had died down with the passage of the nondiscrimination law, according to the report.

The church officials, Barbara Shelton and Bobby James, when asked by police about a possible motive for the fire, said Joly was disappointed the Jackson Pride Parade and Festival, held five days before the blaze, hadn’t received more attention or protests.

Continuing from the DN:

No one was home as flames leaped from the house Joly shared with Moore. But the home wasn’t unoccupied.

A neighbor, knowing the couple had pets, kicked in the front door but it was too hot to go inside, police said. When firefighters tried to open the back door, it was blocked by the body of a dog.

All five animals died: two German Shepherds and three cats.

Traces of gasoline were later found in five rooms on the first floor of the two-story, wooden-frame house, according to the police report.

Please allow me to pose a question if I may. Considering the extremely sensitive aspect of investigations of this nature — meaning that local departments have the easy ability to step on a series of large social land mines and take serious societal, national, budgetary and even violent casualties, do you think that law enforcement and local prosecutors take a decision like this lightly considering Ferguson? I don’t.

Translated: there’s something likely extremely compelling to the case to have crafted the decision to prosecute in light of the today’s SJW political environment.

That said, do you see some possible threads here, forms of linkage with the Jussie Smollett case? I believe I do. And that’s that of narcissism, stages of and enhancements involving victimhood, sociopathy and, in this case, sheer evil regarding the animals.

The sequence of events would have made it difficult for anyone but Joly to set the fire, Grove said in the police report.

“The timeline shows a window of less than five minutes for another person to enter the residence, splash gasoline around, ignite the fire and then leave without being scene,” wrote Grove.

Joly told an insurance company investigator the arsonist must have been in the home at the same time he was, according to the report.

Lab tests by police found traces of gasoline on the clothes Joly was wearing on the day of the fire, said the report.

Two weeks after the fire, Joly was questioned for four hours by a city police detective and two FBI agents.

During the interview, he drooped his head, staring at the floor, not looking at his interlocutors, according to the report. He didn’t admit setting the fire and didn’t deny it, either.

Being a victim in 2019 carries with it not only a sense of martyrdom but that of massive entitlement and, truth be told, its very own awarded Badge of Courage by Leftists, Demorats and the American Media Maggots.

In the land of Leftists, now, you are nothing unless you are a significant victim of ____________. And you get to choose the grievance du jour, now “traditionally” involving an -obe, -ist or -ism at the end of the word.

Here is proof:

This explains why Leftist and Demorats are on the constant prowl for ideas, activities, events, words or writings by and from which to be “victimized.” The Victimhood Beast requires constant stoking and feeding in order to operate and grow. Yes, grow. Victimhood is Big Business in the United States. It can pay extremely well and, as such, has become an industry of its own. And it constantly screams “feed me!

This isn’t the end nor was it the beginning. This constant seeking, building, restructuring and reorganization of the Hierarchy of Victims will continue unchecked by Leftists, Demorats, aided and abetted by the American Media Maggots.

I continue to refer people to the compilation website entitled FakeHateCrimes.org. A deep and detailed repository of just that.

But wait, there’s more. Just check tomorrow’s news.

Hold on there. Back up that car wash. Let’s have some additional facts, shall we, from (of all places) USAToday.com:

Hate crime hoaxes, like Jussie Smollett’s alleged attack, are more common than you think

by Wilfred Reilly

In writing a book about hate crime hoaxes, I found more than 400. Such frauds damage good race relations.

The hate attack on Empire star Jussie Smollett is now alleged to be a hoax. That shouldn’t surprise anyone.

The questions here are obvious. How many Trump supporters even exist in the downtown of a city that went 83% for Hillary Clinton — and how many of them watch “Empire?” How many guys looking for a fight carry rope and bottles of bleach around with them? Almost every normal citizen had questions like these about this incident, and we were justified in having them.

That this case turned out to be a hoax shouldn’t come as too big of a shock. A great many hate crime stories turn out to be hoaxes. Simply looking at what happened to the most widely reported hate crime stories over the past 4-5 years illustrates this: not only the Smollett case but also the Yasmin SeweidAir Force AcademyEastern MichiganWisconsin-ParksideKean College, Covington Catholic, and “Hopewell Baptist burning” racial scandals all turned out to be fakes. And, these cases are not isolated outliers.

Doing research for a book, Hate Crime Hoax, I was able to easily put together a data set of 409 confirmed hate hoaxes. An overlapping but substantially different list of 348 hoaxes exists at fakehatecrimes.org, and researcher Laird Wilcox put together another list of at least 300 in his still-contemporary book Crying Wolf. To put these numbers in context, a little over 7,000 hate crimes were reported by the FBI in 2017 and perhaps 8-10% of these are widely reported enough to catch the eye of a national researcher.

I have no memory but even I can recall the Tawana Brawley case, and the Duke Lacrosse case.

Now read this:

However, hate crime hoaxers are “calling attention to a problem” that is a very small part of total crimes. There is very little brutally violent racism in the modern USA. There are less than 7,000 real hate crimes reported in a typical year. Inter-racial crime is quite rare; 84% of white murder victims and 93% of Black murder victims are killed by criminals of their own race, and the person most likely to kill you is your ex-wife or husband. When violent inter-racial crimes do occur, whites are at least as likely to be the targets as are minorities. Simply put, Klansmen armed with nooses are not lurking on Chicago street corners.

In this context, what hate hoaxers actually do is worsen generally good race relations, and distract attention from real problems. As Chicago’s disgusted top cop, Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson, pointed out yesterday, skilled police officers spent four weeks tracking down Smollett’s imaginary attackers — in a city that has seen 28 murders as of Feb. 9th, according to The Chicago Tribune. We all, media and citizens alike, would be better served to focus on real issues like gun violence and the opiate epidemic than on fairy tales like Jussie’s.

You and I both know this won’t stop, for any number of reasons. It frequently pays well. It keeps the industry moving, providing life blood. Sometimes literally. It soothes sensitive and snowflakey egos. But mostly?

In the world of Leftists, it provides and conveys status.

Hers was a cautionary tale when you work with others you don’t really know, involve cash, and make agreements that are not immured in paperwork or honesty. Please listen to see what the hell happened. KARI will likely return to Big League Politics and, of course, she’ll be going to CPAC this year.

Hour 2: BZ covered the waterfront and proffered a bunch of Happy Stories, followed up by an in-depth examination of the sordid conduct recently displayed by Jussie Smollett, and the implications of his actions.

The sad story of a sad, young, gay black man.

The sad story of a sad, young, gay black man who somehow felt he wasn’t a sufficient victim for the Left or, well, labored under some serious mental Leftist issues. Or perhaps in an even more craven context, became nothing more than a seeker of hack publicity.

Things began this way on January 29th, from ETonline.com:

‘Empire’ Star Jussie Smollett Hospitalized After Homophobic, Racist Attack

by Antoinette Bueno

Jussie Smollett has been hospitalized in Chicago after an apparent homophobic and racist attack, ET can confirm.

According to the Chicago Police Department’s incident details, a 30-something man was walking when two unknown offenders approached him and gained his attention by yelling out racial and homophobic slurs towards him. Police say the offenders allegedly began to attack the victim with their hands about the face and poured an unknown chemical substance onto the victim.

At some point during the alleged incident, one of the offenders wrapped a rope around the victim’s neck. According to police, the offenders then fled the scene, and the victim was self-transported to Northwestern Hospital. He is in good condition, and Area Central Detectives are investigating.

Just “enough” information, just enough speciousness.

“Jussie was walking when two guys started yelling racial and homophobic slurs at the Empire star,” the source says. “Jussie was then attacked by the men and was repeatedly hit. Jussie tried to protect himself and at one point the men poured a substance on him believed to be bleach and one of the guys put a rope around his neck. After some time the men fled the scene and Jussie went to the hospital. Jussie is mostly physically OK with some scrapes and bruises, but he’s more emotionally shook up.”

According to TMZ,  the attack happened at around 2 a.m. when Smollett went out to get a sandwich, after which someone yelled, “Aren’t you that f***ot ‘Empire’ n*****?” The outlet reports that the the two offenders — who allegedly are white and wore ski masks — beat Smollett badly enough to fracture a rib, then tied a rope around his neck and poured bleach on him. 

 “This is MAGA country,” TMZ reports the offenders yelled as they fled after the assault. 

From the beginning, this did not pass the BZ “smell test.” Why would two Caucasoid MAGA hat/ski mask wearers hang around in the -9º Chicago temperatures at 2 AM in order to hope for a young, gay black man to walk by — their kit already prepared with bleach, gloves for thumping and a rope for lynching?

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez weighed in immediately, naturally.

As did the bulk of Leftists around the nation. Because after all #MeToo also includes gay black men, correct?

Then a funny thing happened. People began their own version of the proverbial “smell test.” And not just hateful, ancient and decrepit Caucasoid males. Joe Budden said “it’s a lie, he’s lying.”

Shit just unravels from there. Breitbart provides a timeline for what they term a hate-hoax attack.

January 29

Smollett was hospitalized after an attack described by the Chicago Police Department as a possibly “racially-charged assault and battery.”

Smollett alleged that his attackers asked him, “Aren’t you that faggot Empire nigger?”

TMZ reported on Smollett’s claims at the time:

The 2 men — both white and wearing ski masks — viciously attacked Jussie as he fought back, but they beat him badly and fractured a rib. They put a rope around his neck, poured bleach on him and as they left they yelled, “This is MAGA country.”

Chicago police claimed via statement:

Given the severity of the allegations, we are taking this investigation very seriously and treating it as a possible hate crime. Detectives are currently working to gather video, identify potential witnesses and establish an investigative timeline.

Empire creator and producer Lee Daniels derided American in his acceptance of Smollett’s claims as prima facie, describing them as “just another fucking day in America.”

The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), acceptedSmollett’s claims at face value while blaming President Donald Trump for the alleged attack:

The recent racist and homophobic attack on acclaimed actor and activist Jussie Smollett is troubling. The rise in hate crimes is directly linked to President Donald J. Trump’s racist and xenophobic rhetoric. It is dangerous for any society to allow a tone of divisiveness and hatred to dominate the political discourse. As this rhetoric continues to bleed into our everyday lives, dangerous behavior will continue to place many law-abiding individuals at risk. We pray for a full physical and mental recovery Jussie Smollett and many unnamed victims of this forum of hate based terrorism.

Sen. Cory Booker called for an “anti-lynching” bill to be passed in Congress while referencing Smollett’s claims.

Cory Booker

@CoryBooker

The vicious attack on actor Jussie Smollett was an attempted modern-day lynching. I’m glad he’s safe.

To those in Congress who don’t feel the urgency to pass our Anti-Lynching bill designating lynching as a federal hate crime– I urge you to pay attention. https://www.ebony.com/news/jussie-smollett-hospitalized-after-homophobic-racially-motivated-attack/?utm_content=link&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=daily_post&utm_source=t.co

Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) accepted Smollett’s claims while blaming Trump:

But we have to understand this is happening for a reason. Why all of a sudden do we have people unable to study while black, unable to mow a lawn while black, unable to have a picnic while black, and being attacked? It’s coming from the President of the United States. He’s dog-whistling every day. He’s separating and dividing, and he is basically emboldening those folks who feel this way, maybe never said and never talked about it, never could act it out, but now they’re on it.

Presidential hopeful and Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) accepted Smollett’s claims as true, describing the alleged attack as a “modern day lynching.”

Kamala Harris

@KamalaHarris

.@JussieSmollett is one of the kindest, most gentle human beings I know. I’m praying for his quick recovery.

This was an attempted modern day lynching. No one should have to fear for their life because of their sexuality or color of their skin. We must confront this hate.

January 30

Local law enforcement reviewed hundreds of hours of surveillance footage, finding no evidence to corroborate Smollett’s claims.

CNN reported on the Chicago police’s inability to substantiate Smollett’s accusations:

In a place so far with a high number of private surveillance cameras, they cannot find any images of the two alleged attackers. After combing through hundreds of hours of videos, the only image of Smollett police obtained from security cameras was inside the Subway sandwich shop near the location of the reported crime — and he was standing alone.

Chicago police requested the city’s help in finding persons of interest related to the alleged attack on Smollett, issuing a “community alert” towards such an end.

Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel framed Smollett’s claims as legitimate during a press conference. “Obviously the alleged statement of what happened here is horrific and there’s no place for it in the city of Chicago,” he said.

Read the rest of the story here.

Smollett said “I’m pissed off” when he was interviewed by ABC News’ Robin Roberts on February 15th. Such righteous indignation, indeed.

But then things really did start to fall apart. People began to notice when, at first, Smollett refused to let Chicago PD access his phone. Later, he acquiesced but only after having “scrubbed” a few things, he said, on the phone itself.

“Smell test.” Remember that? By now, we’re talking cat box.

Jussie Smollett Still Hasn’t Talked To Cops Again About Attack & “Developments”

by Dominic Patten

Things may be moving towards some sort of formal prosecution in the Jussie Smollettalleged attack case but Chicago PD have yet to have a new sit-down with the Empireactor as more “developments” come to the surface.

However, a well-placed law enforcement source tells Deadline that despite emerging and complicating evidence and requests for a further formal interview, Smollett has not made himself available “in a timely fashion” to investigators.

But wait. You’re the victim here. Right? Why does a victim feel the need to “lawyer up?”

“Smell test.”

Some people began to dig — obviously not the American Media Maggots, who are largely agendized, political and biased — and turned up some annoying evidence.

Jussie Smollett Guilty of Giving False Info to Cops in 2007

by Calvin Freiburger

For the five people left in the United States that still believe Jussie Smollett was beaten by bigoted Trump supporters roaming the streets of Chicago, it turns out there’s yet another reason to be skeptical: he’s done this sort of thing before.

NBC Philadelphia reports that in 2007 the Empire actor pleaded “no contest” to driving under the influence, driving without a license…and giving false information to law enforcement.

Smollett was sentenced to two years probation in the case.

Wait. You mean Smollett has a history of lying to cops? Imagine that.

“Smell test.”

Then things began to turn. From the DailyCaller.com:

PELOSI DELETES SYMPATHETIC TWEET FOR JUSSIE SMOLLETT

by Kerry Picket

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi deleted her original tweet sympathetic for “Empire” actor and singer Jussie Smollett amid reports that Smollett may have staged the alleged January 29 attack against himself.

Cory Booker called the Smollett attack a “modern day lynching.” Now he’s circumspect.

Kamala Harris called it a “lynching.” Now she’s circumspect. With odd laughter.

How cautious were these two massive Leftists when the issue of Kavanaugh emerged? Where was their reflection, consideration or circumspection? Non-existent.

And here is a meme-deflating paragraph:

Chicago police now suspect that Smollett paid two acquaintances to stage an attack against him, according to reports from numerous outlets. The two men, who are U.S. citizens of Nigerian descent, were arrested Wednesday but released from custody Friday. They are reportedly cooperating with investigators.

Even CNN began to embrace the “smell test” and found Smollett beginning to fail.

Two arrested in connection with attack on ‘Empire’ star Jussie Smollett are released without charge

by Dakin Andone & Ryan Young

Two men who were being questioned in connection with an attack reported by “Empire” actor Jussie Smollett have been released without charge, the Chicago Police Department said Friday.

The men, who were arrested Wednesday, were released “due to new evidence as a result of today’s interrogations,” said Chicago police Chief Communications Officer Anthony Guglielmi. “And detectives have additional investigative work to complete.”

Translated: the Nigerian brothers rolled like a Douglas fir in a northwest river.

Only when they knew the meme was bullshit did the American Media Maggots begin to weigh in. From CBSNews.com:

Brothers say Jussie Smollett paid them to participate in alleged attack, source says

by Carter Evans

The two Nigerian brothers arrested in connection with the assault on “Empire” actor Jussie Smollett are no longer suspects in the attack. They’re now cooperating with police.

A source close to the investigation confirms to CBS News the brothers told detectives Smollett paid them to participate in the alleged attack on January 29 and that they purchased the rope — which was found around Smollett’s neck — at a nearby hardware store. The source said detectives have evidence to corroborate the sale, something the men’s attorney alluded to Friday night.

“New evidence that was brought to their attention, obviously I had it, my clients had it,” said Gloria Schmidt, the brothers’ attorney.

The Chicago Police Department released a statement Saturday night saying information from the brothers had “shifted the trajectory of the investigation.”

To continue with PageSix.com:

Jussie Smollett, pals reportedly rehearsed alleged attack

by Lia Eustachewich

Jussie Smollett allegedly promised to pay his two pals $4,000 to stage his racist and homophobic assault — which the trio even rehearsed beforehand, according to a new report.

The embattled “Empire” star paid $3,500 to bodybuilding brothers Abimbola and Olabinjo Osundairo before they left for Nigeria the day of the Jan. 29 attack, and promised another $500 upon their return to the US, sources told CBS Chicago.

Late Saturday, Chicago police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said cops reached out to Smollett’s lawyers to arrange a follow-up interview.

Why would Smollett’s attorneys allow a follow-up interview? Smollett could only sink himself deeper.

“Smell test.”

Then, another nail, from TruePundit.com:

POLICE: Rope Wrapped Around Smollett’s Neck Was Purchased by Smollett

Police sources tell CBS Chicago that the rope wrapped around Smollett’s neck was traced back to a purchase made by Smollett himself.

Jussie Smollett appears to have picked the wrong location for his “hate crime” to be caught on video, if we compare his Good Morning America interview to the latest reports about the two Nigerian men who say the actor-singer paid them to stage an assault.

As of now, it looks as though police believe Empire star Smollett not only lied about a phony hate crime committed against him by supporters of President Trump, he also hoped to arrange for the hoax to be recorded by a surveillance camera.

OANN.com then reported on Tuesday the 19th:

Report: Jussie Smollett To Face Grand Jury Over Alleged Hate Crime Hoax

Actor Jussie Smollett is set to face a grand jury over an alleged hate crime hoax after new developments shifted the direction of the Chicago Police Department’s investigation.

Brandon Straka, creator of the entire #WalkAway movement, who’s been on my radio show on two prior occasions, opined regarding the Jussie Smollett situation.

Tucker Carlson absolutely nails it. How many thousands and thousands of dollars were wasted on an investigation that was a hoax from the beginning? Dollars and time that could have been utilized to investigate actual crimes in Chicago?

Then there was this on Wednesday, from ABC7Chicago.com:

Jussie Smollett attack: Smollett officially a suspect in criminal investigation for filing false police report, police say

Chicago police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi confirmed Wednesday afternoon that Jussie Smollett is officially a suspect in a criminal investigation for filing a false police report, a Class 4 felony.

Guglielmi said CPD detectives are currently presenting evidence before a Cook County grand jury.

“Smell test.”

And so, to recap:

  1. Smollett has a history of hating Donald Trump and smearing his voters;
  2. Police didn’t find any video footage of the attack from cameras in the area;
  3. Smollett won’t turn over the complete phone records that his manager claims show they were talking when he heard the attack;
  4. Police didn’t find any white suspects like he described but rather a pair of Nigerian brothers with ties to Empire;
  5. Police say records show the brothers bought the rope that wound up around Smollett’s neck;
  6. Police found a magazine and stamps that may have been used to make an (almost-certainly fake) letter threatening Smollett; and
  7. Smollett has lied to police before.
  8. Chicago PD announced on Wednesday the 20th that Smollett is now a suspect in a Class 4 felony regarding his hate crime hoax.

Here is now what needs to occur. Smollett needs to be prosecuted not just for filing a false police report, but for an actual hate crime itself. Jussie Smollett was apparently readily willing to identify two innocent Caucasoids as “suspects” and sacrifice them on the altar of his own racial bias, and seek their conviction.

And finally, this Thursday, February 21st press conference from Chicago Chief of Police Eddie Johnson.

“Smell test.” Smollett’s case reeked.

Hour 1BZ began the show with the shrewd and percipient DAVE MILNER, the Unpleasant Blind Guy who is, yeah, blind — but he’s not unpleasant in the slightest. He and I talked about the UK, the EU, and the political chaos that is swarming about Europe. What can we learn from this? Who knows? Our country his a vast past of embracing what I call Historical Alzheimers.

Hour 2: BZ covered the waterfront and proffered some important news stories, then slewed into more Happy Stories. A bunch of Happy Stories. Then, alas, some AOC Socialism. But wait. There’s more. Listen to discover what that may be.

This is a unique week for two reasons. It was ten years ago on February 11th that my Dad passed away in 2009, at the age of 88. He was a member of The Greatest Generation, flew in WWII, served his country, and I miss him every bit as much now as then.

This Thursday, February 14th — Valentine’s Day — is also the anniversary of Mr and Mrs BZ. I won’t be broadcasting on Thursday because we’ll be experiencing various hotels in various locales on various days. But I ask: is she not cute as a button and massively much more than I deserve in my wobbling, infirm, geriatric status? The easy answer is: yes.

My father, United States Air Force full bird Colonel Richard Lee Alley, passed away ten years ago, on this day. February 11th, 2009.

He was 88 years old. He missed his 89th birthday by less than two months.

This year, he would be 99 on April 13th.

I cannot, still, tell you how terribly I miss him.

He was a part of The Greatest Generation.

The generation that secured promise and freedom and liberty for not only the United States, but for the entire world at large.

At the end of his life, he proffered large decisions. I had to make many of those large decisions. One of the worst for me was deciding to take him out of his very own house. The house where me and my two other brothers were raised. The house where he clinged.

First, I had to physically take him out of his house. Where he and my family had lived — for over sixty years. He said: “goodbye house.”

I wrote about looking at my father’s face in repose.

Ten years. I can remember it like yesterday. It seems like it was yesterday. And there isn’t a day that I don’t think about Dad.

So many questions. So many questions I would loved to have asked him. But I was wrapped up in my life and didn’t realize until a year or so later how he may have played a very serious role in any number of USAF adventures on many levels.

That first night of his passing, the 11th, I had a dream. I awakened with it in my head. Carole King was singing “So Far Away.” I remember that most distinctly.

Dad passed away at 3:30 am on Wednesday, February 11th. The night before, I had been able to summon both my brothers and my wife to his bedside. Friends visited. I thought he would make it through that night. I was sure of it. My wife counseled me: “kiss him, kiss him goodnight.” But I didn’t do it. I tried to make light of his condition, that he’d be around the next day. I’ll horribly regret not kissing my father goodbye to my very own dying day, come what may.

I pondered what had happened, here. I reflected, once again, here. I thanked you, my readers, for supporting me here. My father’s funeral was documented here. There were more goodbyes for me, just selling my father’s car.

He was a member of The Greatest Generation. Those who made so many major sacrifices for our great nation, kept us safe in our beds, and kept the country strong and free. Their incredible sacrifices. Though they didn’t necessarily want to do so. He fought in B-17s. He trained in B-25s. It was almost the perfect triumvirate: his brother Jim signed up for the Army; his youngest brother Bill enlisted in the Navy (and had the USS Yorktownsink underneath him). My father went for the Army Air Force.

If you want to digest the quintessential document of sacrifice, read “With The Old Breed” by Eugene B. Sledge. Astounding. Simply astounding. Or perhaps the superior(but lesser read) Bert Stiles book: “Serenade To The Big Bird.”

They didn’t want to be there, they feared, they wanted to run away. And yet they persevered.

God bless you, Dad.

I think about you every day.

I can only hope, as I wrote:

I’ll bet my Dad’s flying high above the earth right now, in an open cockpit Consolidated Vultee BT-13, canopy slided back, where the skies are blue, the weather fair, and he’s young, strong and free. So free.

God bless you, Dad. Hold Mom’s hand. Step into your past, may it be untroubled and calm and fair. May your love be unfettered and limitless and beautiful. Whatever your ideal reality would be, let it be.

And I write this post through a film of tears. My throat constricts. I still miss you terribly.

What’s wrong with me? Why can’t I just let this go?
