This morning... I felt the need to go over to my dad's house ... Just to check the mail ... and just be..there.. I walked around for a minute.. and pulled some branches off of the Japanese plum tree in the front yard. I always loved that tree.... After checking the mailbox, AS USUAL, there was someone else's mail in there.. So, I jumped in the car, put the mail in the correct box 2 houses up.. jumped back in the car and took off.. About two houses up.. I looked over and saw my father sitting on the porch of this house...
Yep.. Damn near drove through someone else's house looking at him..
Once I got to the stop sign... and got myself together.. I turned around. I'm crazy.. but Dammit.. I'm not THAT crazy.. I turned around and pulled up to the house.. I got out and basically ran to where this gentlemen was sitting.. I said " I'm sorry to bother you .. but may I PLEASE take a picture of you" He said.. Hell I don't care.. (verbatim) I laughed because that was something that my FATHER would say.. I explained to him WHY I wanted the picture and he thought I was joking.. This man looks SOO much like my father.. I had chills just standing next to him.. I went searching through FB for the picture of my father and I together.. and it just wouldn't pull UP.. Finally I remembered that his obit was tagged on my sister Kim's page.. It was the best picture of my dad's face.. While searching for the picture.. I told him my name.. and he told me his.. He says.. JORDON.. My name is K. Jordon.. ( my children are KASEY and JORDON) *_*... wild..
When I found the picture, and showed it to him.. His first words were.. OH SH... YEA.. It kinda shook him up too.. Their hair was the same.. silky.. indian... Their Forehead was the same.. Skin tone... the grey in their beards were the same.. And he had the most Interesting eyes I'd EVER seen... they were dark Blue... (my aunts eyes are about the same color.. never seen that before ... Weird eye colors ran in my family.. because when my son Jordon was born his eyes were Lavender.. glad they changed because I'd have to kill some lil chickenhead around here over my child..)
After telling him that my father lived just down the street.. I asked if he had moved into this house and he said No.. I'm just here visiting with my daughter... *_*...*CHILLS*... I took the picture of him... and we started discussing family trees because it's KINDA weird what's going on.. We don't think that we are related at all.. but gee whiz.. I thanked him for allowing me to have a picture of him... and he said... if you want one of us together.. that's fine too.. : So I knealed beside him and put my arm around him and snapped a picture..
I got a hug from Mr. K. Jordon.. physically.. But in my heart.. I got a hug Spiritually from my Daddy.. :)
Thank you Mr. K. Jordon for just sitting on that porch this morning...
