I've often wanted to ask mine for pictures. As it stands I have a few of him on my phone, all stolen from the internet, and like a total weirdo I stare at them when I'm feeling panicky or very needy. So embarrassing. But after I started doing this I actually read somewhere that seeing the face of someone you trust can release some kind of chemicals to calm you down, and it really does work for me. Just one more thing I do fairly often and talk about almost never.
