Pawpaw and Mourning and Redemption.

Yesterday I laid to rest my father, James Wesley ‘Pawpaw’ Welch. He passed away in 2021, but some oddities about his grave that I began fixing months ago finally were completed late last week. My visit yesterday was the first time I felt that I was finally laying him to rest.

I recorded a video, which I’ll upload sometime today, because the oddities at his gravesite have wider implications for the family situation that I’ve already discussed.

This week I will be wearing mostly black and some white.
Feeling mourning and forgiveness and judgement, all focused towards redemption.

Adding the video I discussed adding earlier today below. I recorded this yesterday November 8th 2026 in South Carolina.

A few important points:

• The style of the video is very loose. I’d driven a few hours and didn’t want to read off a script. But the important points are there.
• We should all be focused more on forgiveness and redemption than on vindictiveness.
• I mention the connection between Pawpaw and me (Jeremy) as Pawpaw’s son and Homer as my (Jeremy’s) son. As previously discussed, I am reducing discussion of Homer other than to acknowledge that he is my biological son (which is now easily provable because of the fingers). I am choosing to keep Homer far from all of my work and political issues, as I am any other kids that I have. Acknowledging this connection openly actually protects Homer, because the acknowledgement that I have a full 8 unique fingers as two paws, and Homer only has 2 fingers, will mean that focus will be entirely on me and never on him for any political issues. My authority and influence is not tied only to these biological features, but it is likely that some people will attempt to frame that it is only from biological features. Speaking openly and explicitly about these points protects Homer from these attempts more than a hidden acknowledgment or partial discussion.
