Oh Father, where art thou

So. Here I am again. Embarking on a seemingly impossible journey to persue the whereabouts of my “Bio-Dad”.
I was doing some writing today, and realized that this is a pretty huge turning point in my life. I know he hasn’t been here for 25 years, but I know people have flaws. I know people have stories. I know people have circumstances. I know people need forgiveness. Who knows if what my mother told me was true, but the fact is, I constantly wonder. What is he like? Does he miss me? Does he have health issues I need to know about for my own well-being? Is he really where I get my temper? Is he really as good looking as my mother told me he was? Did he really leave because he didn’t want a second child? Is he married? Has he started a new family?
I don’t know. Maybe I am setting myself up for a disaster. But, I feel like I would rather have a beautiful disaster than constantly wondering, pittering around the Earth with bitter feelings that I do not even know are justified. The opportunities are endless.
What I know:
I know my “Bio-Dad’s” name is Donald Francis. (His middle name might be Andrew)
I know my “Bio-Dad” is probably 46 or 47 years old.
I know he rides, or used to ride Motorcycles.
I know he had a father who was an amazing pointalism artist, also named Donald. (I believe)
I know he has brown eyes.
I know the last time my mother saw him, was in Dallas Texas, or somewhere near there.
If he’s anything like me, he is stunningly good looking with a great sense of humor. If he’s anything like me, he thinks about me, at least once a day, just like I think about him. If he’s anything like me, he’s hot headed, but also a friggin genius.
If anyone knows anyone who knows anyone who might be able to hunt this guy down, or help me out, that would be great. We could launch a full forced internet force team if anyone wants to get on board.
I have prayed and prayed about it, and I feel like I at least need some closure. Maybe he does too? Heck, I’ll take the chance. Who knows, maybe he turned his life around like I did. Maybe he is a completely awesome dude now, and wants to teach me how to ride a motorcycle? I don’t know.
Anyway. Why don’t we pass this blog around, and see what the internet can do? It could be an awesome testimony!
