Today is another year without my daughter, Brianna Long, and the weight of it still feels impossible.
I struggle to call it an anniversary. It was the day everything broke.
Brianna was murdered by gang members while she was at work in Valdosta, Georgia. We are still waiting for a trial. Still waiting for answers. Still trying to move through a life that no longer makes sense.
I miss her in ways I can’t fully put into words—her voice, her face, the ordinary moments I used to take for granted.
I find myself wondering who she would have become and what we would have shared. Grief has narrowed my world. Most days I work and come home.
The things I used to enjoy no longer feel like mine. Learning to live without her has been the hardest thing I have ever faced.
Please keep our family in your prayers. Pray for strength, for answers, and for justice for Brianna. Nothing will bring her back. We know that.
But she deserves accountability, and we deserve the truth. We will keep holding on to the hope that it comes soon.
Brianna, not a day passes that we don’t miss you. You are loved. You are remembered. Your life mattered, and we will keep speaking your name.
My sweet Bri Bri, I love you more than words can hold. Until we meet again.
Mommy loves you always. 🌹
Blessed Doiminic O’Coilleain, also known as Blessed Dominic Collins or Doiminic Ó Coileáin, was an Irish Jesuit lay brother and martyr. He was born about 1566 in Youghal, County Cork, into a prominent Hiberno-Norman Catholic merchant family. His father John Collins and one of his brothers served as mayor of the town. As a young man he left Ireland for the Continent, first working in France and then entering military service. He fought in the armies of the Catholic League in Brittany against the Huguenots, rose to the rank of captain, and was appointed military governor of a strategic region. After about nine years of soldiering he went to Spain, where a pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela and contact with the Jesuit Thomas White led him to renounce his military career.
In December 1598 he entered the Jesuit novitiate at Santiago de Compostela as a lay brother. He made his profession in February 1601 and was sent back to Ireland as companion to Father James Archer, chaplain to the Spanish expedition that landed to support the Catholic cause. He arrived at Castlehaven late in 1601 and later served at Dunboy Castle during the siege, tending the wounded rather than fighting. When the fortress fell in June 1602 he was among those taken prisoner. The English authorities offered him liberty, preferment, and rewards if he would renounce the Catholic faith and enter their service. Relatives urged him to feign conformity in order to save his life, but he refused. After imprisonment and torture he was condemned by a military tribunal.
On 31 October 1602 he was taken to Youghal, the first time he had seen his native town in many years, and hanged. He wore his Jesuit gown and addressed the crowd in Irish, English, and Spanish, declaring that he died gladly for the faith of the Holy Roman Church. An English officer remarked that he went to his death as eagerly as to a banquet; Collins replied that for this cause he would willingly die a thousand deaths. He was one of the Irish Martyrs. His cause advanced slowly, and on 27 September 1992 he was beatified by Pope John Paul II together with sixteen other Irish martyrs. His feast is kept on 31 October, or on 20 June as one of the Irish Martyrs, and on 30 October in the Society of Jesus.
🚨 BYRON DONALDS JUST NOW:

*Crowd erupts*
"We gotta get out and VOTE! We gotta get out and WIN! We gotta KEEP FLORIDA FREE." ☀️
THAT'S our next governor, preserving western civilization and making sure Florida holds the line.
Tomorrow is the FINAL statewide day of early voting. Go vote red!
You are correct. And behind the riots on the streets of France, Italy etc. And behind the mass illegal migration invasion of the west & behind the destruction of the natural food supply in the name of the net zero scam & behind the conquering Islamic terror networks across Christian countries & communities….etc etc.
🚨 BREAKING: Total chaos in Berlin tonight.
Streets on fire, out-of-control mobs, and absolute lawlessness taking over European cities.
This is what weak leadership and open borders get you.
America, WAKE UP before it is too late! 🇩🇪🔥🇺🇸
Jako senator Republiki Włoskiej pragnę wyrazić całe moje uznanie i solidarność z Prezydentem Polski Karolem Nawrockim za odwagę i determinację wykazaną w powstrzymaniu tego, co mogło przerodzić się w prawdziwy zamach na organy konstytucyjne. Uważam za niewiarygodne, że premier Tusk próbował wspierać nielegalny atak na Trybunał Konstytucyjny, winny jedynie stwierdzenia oczywistości, a mianowicie, że krajowe prawo konstytucyjne musi mieć pierwszeństwo przed prawem Unii Europejskiej. Nie sądzę, aby można było tolerować sytuację, w której „rządy prawa” są wyłącznie tymi, które odpowiadają Ursuli von der Leyen, a wola narodów i ich Konstytucja nie liczą się już wcale. Potwierdzam zatem moje poparcie i aprobatę dla działań Prezydenta Nawrockiego, mając nadzieję na Polskę i Włochy jako przyjaciół – coraz bardziej wolne i suwerenne.
The globalists hate Poland because it is a White country that loves Christ and is both safe and successful
This creates massive problems for the globalist agenda
AUSTIN MAN slams into a stopped minivan at 103 mph on Mother's Day, right in front of a cop, and kills a fire captain hours after his fifth son was born. DA Jose Garza's office asked him to pay a small fine.
Marvin Taylor was on his way to pick up his four other boys so they could meet their new baby brother. He was sitting at a red light on Koenig Lane when a Dodge Durango doing 103 in a 45 zone slammed into him and threw his van 150 feet. He died pinned inside.
The officer found the driver, Rodney Bremby, with bloodshot eyes and slurred speech and stench of alcohol.
He was charged with intoxication manslaughter, which carries up to 20 years in prison. A judge revoked his bond twice while the case was pending, and both times he was back out within two weeks.
On Monday he got 10 years of probation, community service, and $535 in fees.
Five boys have lost their father, and the man who killed him just had to pay a small fine and promise not do it again before going back home.
