In memory

Words this week come from Katharine Hepburn, speaking about Spencer Tracy. They resonated for me particularly in memory of my father, who died 10 years ago this week. Not in an exact way, do you know what I mean? But in a poetic, metaphoric kind of way. Thanks KH:

When I met Spencer I discovered myself, do you know what I mean? That apparently meant a great deal to me. I think it must have. But he had me, I didn't have him necessarily, do you know what I mean? One person has to make that relationship work and I think I knew how and I think I did make it work.

Well in the last years of Spencer's life I didn't act so much because he wasn't feeling too well and he wasn't feeling very confident, and I was in a position to alleviate that situation for him and he was my good, good friend and that seemed wonderful to me, to be that useful.

For all those relationships that are a little bit outside the box and take a long time to understand.
