"I want you to find this man," she said as she held out the photo. I rose up from my chair and took it from her. It was a black-and-white picture of a man who looked to be in his early-30s. He was standing in a kitchen holding a newborn baby. He had a smile on his face, but his eyes were a tempestuous sea of sadness, a raging river of remorse.

I looked back at Katie, "Who is this man?"

She looked down for a moment, then looked back at me and said, "He's my daddy."

    It's probably going to have its moments.

    That reminds me of the old joke about the guy who used to go to the porno movies and sit in the balcony alone. A real tier-jerker!
