Raise pre flop.

As played, the flop check raise was fine and the rest looks Ok.

Your results have absolutely no bearing on whether you played the hand okay. Please don't think like that, you'll lose money. And yeah, you played it okay, except for the stuff people have already mentioned.

I have been on a break from poker for a while. Trying to get my head back in the game. Can someone expand on why a PF raise is a good idea here? I believe it. I just can't explain why and that bothers me.

Because you'll win more often than everyone else will most of the time.

When an unraised pot comes back to you like this, you very probably do not need to worry about AA, KK, QQ, or AK. Therefore, you are at least 45/55 if there is a pair out there, better if not, justifying a pot-building, +EV raise. Also, if you miss the flop, and elect to play anyway, your PFR may help you pick up the pot with a flop or turn bet.
