This is true... I believe that I had a guardian for sure... ~~Jungabel~~

For some reason I have been thinking about this a lot recently...

I had this hairdresser... he was recommended to me by this very pretty lady that had great hair so I decided to give him a try...

I went to him a few times and really liked the job he did on my hair... to give you an idea about him, I'll describe what he looked like...

He was in his late twenties about five foot eight, and was ALWAYS dressed to the nines... he wore outfits like plaid knickers of bright kelly green, and yellow stockings to match, with a bright yellow shirt. His hair and clothes were always impecable, neat clean and immaculately groomed. He always wore sunglasses indoors but it was because he had one eye with no colored part to it and I always guessed he was embarassed or something.

He was not in my social circle and I only saw him once outside the salon when I thought that we were both accidentally in the same place at the same time... come to find out, perhaps it was no accident.

We were not friends that hung out, or talked on the phone or anything like that, we were simply client and hair dresser. There were no signs or anything funny that made me ill at ease...

One day I was on the phone at home, when a car pulled in my driveway. (apparently he got my address off my check that I paid for a cut with) I didn't recognize the car and when I opened the door to this stranger, I didn't recognize the man before me...

He was filthy, with disheveled hair and gritty looking face, he was in filthy jeans and a t-shirt that had seen better days... he was also wearing a faded flannel shirt and when I saw his face with one eye without a colored part, I knew who it was but could hardly believe that he was at my house looking like he had been on a serious bender...

I stayed on the phone as I was immediately afraid of the person in front of me, and he asked me if I would come with him...

I told the person on the phone who was at my door in front of him and asked them to hold on, knowing that he now new that someone else knew he was at my door...

I told him no, that I had plans and said I would see him later and closed and locked the door... he sat for a moment in his car before driving away... I knew that I had averted a potential disaster, but it wasn't until later that I learned that he had initially learned to cut hair in prison, and that after leaving my home he drove to another state and at gunpoint held up a convenience store... I wonder if he is out now??? I wonder why after 14 years I am thinking of this now....

This has made me realize that indeed there are moments where life could go so very differently... An angel for sure kept me on the phone, and gave me the wisdom to say to my friend on the phone that this person was at my door.... I appreciate that I am not a victim as I seemingly could have been...
