I have a photo I keep in my wallet too. I hate it when they get old.

[lieu-murphy.livejournal.com]

I'll get a new one when they take school pictures in the fall, but this one's it until then.

[changes-stars.livejournal.com]

Mines of me and my girl when we were best friends at school. If I could go back I'd take more pictures, so this is the only one I've got.

[lieu-murphy.livejournal.com]

I get one every year from the ex of our daughter.

[changes-stars.livejournal.com]

Does she look like you?

[lieu-murphy.livejournal.com]

I like to think she (http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l290/gusthemoose/random%20photo/AnnaKid.jpg) does, in some way.

[changes-stars.livejournal.com]

She's very pretty. I hope my girl grows up to look as beautiful as mum.

[lieu-murphy.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I'm sure she will.

*nods*

[raith-wraith.livejournal.com]

That your kid?

[lieu-murphy.livejournal.com]

Yup, *shows him the picture (http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l290/gusthemoose/random%20photo/AnnaKid.jpg)* That's Anna.

[raith-wraith.livejournal.com]

Cute. Are the boys after her yet?

[lieu-murphy.livejournal.com]

Thanks. No, but she likes a boy named Walter.

[raith-wraith.livejournal.com]

Why's she like him?

[lieu-murphy.livejournal.com]

Because, and I'm quoting here, "he looks like Oliver from Hannah Montana".

[raith-wraith.livejournal.com]

Hannah who?

[lieu-murphy.livejournal.com]

Oh, Thomas, I could kiss you for that.

What are we gazing forlornly and therefore completely uselessly at?

[lieu-murphy.livejournal.com]

My daughter (http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l290/gusthemoose/random%20photo/AnnaKid.jpg). Who I am allowed to stare at forlornly. I don't have custody.

Then it's game over. Time to throw in a towel... Feel free to let me know which sports jargon is the most effective in helping you get through this difficult time.

[lieu-murphy.livejournal.com]

*rolls her eyes* She's nine, House, I lost custody when she was two. I've had the time I need to get past all the woe is me crap. I just like looking at my daughter. You probably wouldn't understand, unless you have a kid running around out there somewhere.

[cant-have-any.livejournal.com]

One woman did try to blackmail me once...

Then there's no point moping around is there?

[lieu-murphy.livejournal.com]

Why am I not surprised?

No, but I love her so that comes with some portion of useless moping now and again. And hey, she's cute.

[cant-have-any.livejournal.com]

*glances at the picture* True but I'd give it about another eight or nine years.

[lieu-murphy.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm keeping you far away from my kid unless she gets some mysterious disease. She'd probably tear you apart.
