Friends Only

[rubyredstained]

Today is the twentieth anniversary of my father's death, and I spent it at my friends' wedding. I can't think of a better way to spend a day, mind you. Flynn and Quinn epitomise love in a way rarely seen outside of epic romances that are always disappointing for their fictional nature

Hahaha! Oh, Dad.

He is wonderful though, isn't he? Despite his mane of wonders.

You are too, sweet Serenity.

[rubyredstained]

No wonder my mother dated him. She would have mistaken him for a hippie!

He really is.

And so are you! ♥

[hereprophetslie]

Easy mistake!

There's too much gooeyness here, I feel I may melt like a chocolate chip. Someone say something cynical!

[rubyredstained]

Uhm.... I highly doubt I will ever get my hair to behave?

[thatoldgeek]

Oh, that's just not fair. I have no revenge against that sort of thing.

Although, in all gooey seriousness, all of you kids have meant the world to me. Keep on making me a proud daddy figure, Serenity. I know you will.

[rubyredstained]

Hahaha! I'm sure you have some sort of photo where I am wearing something untoward on my head! Anyway, I think it's handsome!

Thank you, Ben.

You're one lucky pup. I cannot get over that hair :D And that's a mighty pumpkin!

I'm glad you're surrounded by love and gooeyness.

[rubyredstained]

Yes to all!!

Me too, Leon. Me so very too. AND I get to participate in a music video! I'm so hardcore with my videos and goo.

I get what you mean, a lot of it, anyway. I was well old enough to understand and to mourn when my parents were killed, but the awesome father figure thing... yeah, I have that. It sounds like your Ben is a lot like my Peter. He even took me in despite the fact that I wasn't a good person in the past, and I'd hurt people he loved. He saw the good in me, recognised the changes, and made himself a part of my life that can never be replaced now.

Like you said, he's not my father, but he's definitely my Dad now. I love the way Ben looks at you. That says it all.

[rubyredstained]

Everyone I know talks of Peter like he's some kind of saint. I saw him at the wedding! He seems cool and his hair is like Ben's too! Hahhaha maybe they're related ;) Their kindness and hair being so alike and all!

I do to. Thank everything for people like Peter and Ben.

[empress_tasha]

I may be biased, but it's with good reason. Irony aside - he used to be a priest - he pretty much is a saint. You're not wrong about the hair, though. Dad, Ben and Robert Smith...

Hell yes. I'm thankful for people like them every day.

[rubyredstained]

Hah! An ex-priest saint. Awesome! And oh yes, Robert Smith!

:)

One of the greatest things I've learnt in my life is that family isn't necessarily about blood. What I have with the Littletons, and particularly relevant here, with Lavinia, certainly proves that. I'm so, so glad that despite that fact that your father died when you were so young, you had so many wonderful people stepping up to be parents to you. I absolutely agree - everyone should be so lucky. The world would be so much a better place for it.

Besides, anyone who can photobomb like that with their adult daughter is clearly awesome.

[rubyredstained]

It really would.

And Ben's awesomeness knows no bounds ;) He was probably wondering what I was doing... And god, I don't even remember...

[in_spectre_mors]

One of life's great mysteries!
