Stomach Bonding Sleeps

Cary Benjamin sleeps dreamily on my stomach as we're both bonding and recuperating. He's phenomenal.

- Jennifer Grant

Forgive Needed Forgiven

He'd forgiven who he needed to forgive, let go of what he needed to, and accepted himself as he was. Archibald Alexander Leach, Cary Grant, and all.

Death Given However

Dad has, and had, a deservedly glowing reputation. However, this belief in 'reputation first' seems to have given rise to his fears of what might be rumored after his death.

- Jennifer Grant

Father Voice Some

At some level it's still hard for me to admit that my father died. I can talk about it and around it, but those two words. 'He died.' What can that possibly mean? That I won't get to hear his voice again?

- Jennifer Grant

Thoughtful Tender Looked

The best word to describe my father? Thoughtful. There was a tender quality to Dad that his sense of fun could sometimes mask. But, above all, he was sensitive and looked out for those he loved.

- Jennifer Grant

Prove Wanting Dad

Can't blame men for wanting him. And wouldn't be surprised if Dad even mildly flirted back. Dad somewhat enjoyed being called gay. He said it made women want to prove the assertion wrong.

- Jennifer Grant

Love Guess Fell

I fell completely in love with acting. I guess I was bitten.

- Jennifer Grant

Candy Maybe Dad

Few men in their 70s looked as good as my father did. What was his secret? Genes, maybe, since he didn't exercise or diet, and he kept a candy drawer, drank a pot of black coffee every day, and read in the middle of the night. Still, he took such joy in being a dad - and in life in general - and his happiness showed.

- Jennifer Grant

Father Him Part

He was an amazing father. I clutched my memories of him to my heart for so long, but he's a part of the world.

Own Give Your

It's not what your parents give you. It's what you do with your own stuff.

I Think Through Some

I'm sure there was some part of his soul was intrinsically happy, but he probably had to go through some permutations to really get that to blossom. I'm sure Dad had his challenges, but I think that joy was there from the beginning and he had to find a way to make his life support that and express that.

- Jennifer Grant

Star More Still

I am my father's only child. The world knows a two-dimensional Cary Grant. As charming a star and as remarkable a gentleman as he was, he was still a more thoughtful and loving father.

- Jennifer Grant

Wit Charm His

Dad was synonymous with his charm and wit and grace, and it was sort of the perfect way to go for him.

- Jennifer Grant

Father's Day My Own Will

When it comes to Father's Day, I will remember my dad for both being there to nurture me and also for the times he gave me on my own to cultivate my own interests and to nurture my own spirit.

- Jennifer Grant

Father Think I Think

To be honest, I think I'd become a bit selfish with memories of my father. I wanted to hug them close to me.

- Jennifer Grant

My Life Pants Very

Simple. Pared down. Timeless. The ties were never too thick or too thin; the pants were never too flared or too skinny. In my life with Dad, he wore Western apparel because we went riding - jeans, cowboy boots, the turquoise belt buckle. But it was all very simple, and that classic look is very 'Ralph Lauren.'

- Jennifer Grant

Week Before Dad

When I knew I was pregnant four years ago with a boy, a friend suggested I call him Cary, but I initially resisted. There was only one Cary Grant. But a week before he was due, I started thinking it would be wonderful to pass the name on to him. And anyway, my father wasn't Cary to me. He was Dad.

- Jennifer Grant

Love Father Dad

The grief of losing my father has come in waves over the years, as it does with most people. His love and devotion as a father provided my closest, most intimate relationship. Dad, and our time together, is in my bones. While reflecting on him, the memories themselves seem to boil down into certain 'essences of Dad.'

- Jennifer Grant

Hollywood Away Rather

One of the myths about Dad was that he was mean. That simply wasn't true. I always found him generous to a fault but he wasn't reckless with his money, which was rather rare in Hollywood. He'd grown up with nothing and he wasn't about to fritter it all away.

- Jennifer Grant

Beauty Play I Remember

I remember him reading 'Sleeping Beauty,' and he would play the score by Tchaikovsky as he read it. We'd also read 'Winnie the Pooh,' and, you know, those probably that he most often read me were 'Beatrix Potter' books, 'The Tale of Jemima Puddle-Duck' and 'The Tale of Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle.' I still have at least 15 of them.
