Spencer hated the tradition of the Saturday night bath, and the task of getting him to take one fell to his Aunt Mary. “She’d try to round him up and get him in the tub,” Frank said. “Spencer was always pretty hard to find. She’d literally have to push him to the bathroom, and then she wouldn’t hear anything. She’d ask Spencer, ‘Are you taking a bath in there?’ He’d say yes, but he’d be sitting on the floor fully clothed—even his hat still on his head—splashing the water with his hands.”
Finally, it was decided the boys would do better under the no-nonsense supervision of Grandmother Brown, and Spencer wore a collection of scapular medals for the occasion. “What are all these things?” she demanded, yanking at them. “Don’t take ’em of my neck!” he exclaimed. “You can’t take those off! They’re holy!” Her expression must have told him she thought he was crazy, for he took them out and started to explain: “Well, this is so you won’t get drowned… and this is so you won’t get killed… and this one is so you won’t commit a sin…”

Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get - only with what you are expecting to give— which is everything. -KH
The only thing that matters is what they feel, and how much they feel, for each other. And if it’s half of what we felt— that’s everything. -ST
