Chapter One

The Journey

"Speak unto the children of Israel that they go forward" –Exodus 14:15

Chronicle - Past Events Future Realities

Thaddeus Sikorski was a third generation Russian and Polish American. Thad had long given up the thought of experiencing fatherhood. It was the prevailing premise that a child created forever by the way his mother experienced the child's expression of needs and sensations during the first days and weeks of life, and then the presupposition this was the moment that a child's life tragedy might be set for life. When he became a father during the birthing process at the Stanford University Medical Hospital, and viewed his first and perhaps only child, Melissa Rose, Thad catapulted immediately into a murky tunnel of experiences. Those ordeals changed his entire life. Thad left with a clear concern over the American values of justice, rule of law, and moral decency. Up to that point, Thad believed that the courts and lawyers were always just and pure. As the years rolled by, America was to experience endless hours of psychological and economic pain that the heartless judicial executioners would continue to inflict upon the innocence of children and their parents.

Thad was a United States Air Force Veteran of the 1960s. Thaddeus was not a traditional recognized war hero in Vietnam for he did take many risks that could have brought him back in a black plastic body bag. Thad had "sucked it up" being afraid during his entire tour with the First Air Commando Squadron in Nha Trang South Vietnam. As a little boy growing up in the cold weather in Chicago, Thad only knew that if options failed for him and everyone else in his life, the United States government would always be there to rescue him. However, in his latter stages of life, Thad would begin to think that the California legal system was out to destroy him and his angel children. Thad lived in these times when fathers lost their children due to the women's empowerment agenda of the U.S. Federal Government. Legal bandits stole a family's future earnings and the full power of the State of California and the Federal Government would threaten them with jail if they did not pay what they had not. One can see that the policy actions of the Clintons brought dire consequences for average American families who did not have the monetary resources to fight for the sanity and safety of his or her children and families.

On March 18, 1988, Phyllis Wilde, was discovered murdered in her Santa Clara home. Wilde savagely attacked with a hammer. She beaten so severely that the entire left side of your skull had collapsed. Before leaving, the murderer had covered her with a blanket and neatly balanced two pillows over her head. The entire room splashed with huge amounts of blood. The first person that entered the crime scene with Santa Clara Police Sergeant George Teal was the high profile 37-year-old Silicon Valley attorney N. Russell Sjonborg who had been the client executor of Phyllis Wilde's estate. Sjonborg three months after he walked through the blood spattered gruesome crime scene accepted an appointment by Judge Jeremy Bird to be the Guardian Ad Litem for Melissa Rose Sikorski, a young Palo Alto, California five-year-old girl. Russell would soon find himself the author of a murder plot to kill children.

The Journey Happens

Thad's mind was clear. This was to be his time of joy and self-actualization. He was finally coming to the point where his destiny was to be an entrepreneur power within the business community. Looking back, from the very moments of clarity of thought, Thad's thinking and creation had much to do with his own parents and their domestic struggles during their lives. To be clear, Thad never experienced knowing them. Yes, their divorce when he was just nine years shattered this young boy's very foundation. Thad's family was but past shadows moving across the snowdrifts of Chicago's winter storms. Therefore, Thad never wanted to be a father who would subject his own children to the years of endless confusion and lack of direction that fate had bestowed upon him. Prior to going to Vietnam, Thad's college first love, when he was 17 and attending Bradley University in Peoria Illinois, was June Hartmann. June was from Naperville Illinois but later married an engineer from Western Electric two years after Thad's arrived in Japan. Of course, the romantic breakup led Thaddeus to being a regular Tachikawa Airbase bar brawler.

Time fast-forwarded to 2009 when June Hartmann contacted Thaddeus on the Internet. She had divorced her husband and had two grown children. She lived in San Diego and they visited together. She was this sexy fox at 20-years-of age when Thaddeus met her at Bradley. In 2009, she was an old woman with 10,000 wrinkles and breast implants. There is nothing wrong with breast implants; however, they were hard as baseballs. Well, their regenerated love lasted for about six months. Unfortunately, June was a bit "nutty" as if she was at Bradley. They stopped seeing each other when Thad realized that she was flirting with any man who would walk within five feet of her. Thaddeus knew that she was battling cancer. In 2010, Thad found her obituary in the San Diego newspaper. The truth for Thad was that no one could resurrect a completed romantic past. Thad married several times because of his Post Trauma Stress Disorder (PTSD) anger episodes affected his ability to maintain stable relationships. Thad's five legal wives were Janice Troulman, Alice Paroda, Scarlett Swerling, Michelle Chiles, and Lucinda Varzea. Lucinda was a student from Portugal and they lived together in Seattle, Washington. Thad's second daughter Marianna was born in 1998. Anyone would conclude that Thad had a full life. However, Thad as a man was emotionally unable to stay long in a marriage relationship. Thaddeus had this "traditional 21st century role" to play and then to pay for selecting toxic women. When Thad married Scarlett Swerling, the dreams of being a "real father" rekindled as a reality. With the Palo Alto, California Swerling family, Thad was soon to discover that he did not have the right to love his children or to participate in his angels' early childhood years. The middleclass never would get justice. Perhaps, that is why families settle marital differences outside of a United States' Court System that many believe exist for the rich and their powerful politician allies.

The Beginnings

Thaddeus's story begins with the angel Melissa Rose. However, the story really begins in 1983...
