T-A photo PRE- CHRISTMAS SPECIAL PRICE 1W ,PVVYN WHILSMITH It was 2 .a.m. in the city hospital. Hurting, sick, lonely and discouraged I wanted to cry but I couldn't squeeze out one tear. Just when think I'd let go a deluge I'd hear a voice coming back to me from my long ago, little-girls years . . "Hush. bush, big girls don't cry" Big girls (or anybody elsefor that matter ) don't cry was one of my mother's creeds. It wasn't that she was unkind or unloving, it was just that.totter notion, next to Godliness and cleanliness came strength of character. To her. tears were a sign of weakness I remember falling off a horse when I was about seven and almost killing myself. Once Mother had affirmed that I hadn't (killed myself. I mean she firmly stated there would be no crying please for doing what was such a fool thing in the first place Dragging me into the house she forthwith poured iodine into my scrapes and cuts sternly admonishing if I so much as winced When my horrid big brothers threw my favorite teddy bear into the pig pen. where it was soon ripped to shreds. she gave them each a hefty clout on the side of the head as she told me to "stop that snivelling because you're too big to be dragging around a teddy bear. anyway." I doubt if she'd ever heard of Stoicism but she was its truest advocate and disciple.In her view it was a waste of time and effort to give way to tears. You might think I never cry. No so. I weep buckets . . but rarely at the right times. And usually for the strangest of reasons. Let a couple of searchlightsplay over the sky at the opening of a new gas station and I'll choke right up. A murky little T.V. play will send me blubbering from the room with my apron over my head; and a hunch of fresh faced kids lustily vocalizing 'Climb Every Mountain' will positively undo me. My family are used to it. They never bat an eye when they see tears dripping off my chin as I read 'Goodbye Mr, Chips' for the 14th time. They weren't at all abashed when I broke down at the sight of our hockey players standing at attention while 0 Canada was sung in Moscow. In fact, they expected it. I had already wept openly when I watched the Rus- sian boys faces as their beautiful national anthem was played in our country. They tolerate my eyes spilling over as I watch a lowering sun send shafts of purple, coral and red shimmering across the evening clouds. And they expect me to weep into my soup if they tell me about a mangy, flee bitten dog that was shot for being a vagrant. They do, however, object to my 'carrying on' in public. Everyone of them pretended they didn't know me on Armed Forces Day at the Western Fair when I broke right down and howled at the sight of hundreds of waving flags being paraded past the grand stand while a massed band played. They try not to sit next to me in a movie. A few weeks ago I felt such empathy for the Jewish father in 'Fiddler on the Roof' as he tried to understand his five daughters practically flooded the theatre. It got so bad I coundn't even keep my sympathy quiet. While I sobbed into my scarf our youngest was jabbing me in the ribs, "Shut up, Mom, you're making a fool of yourself." Which only made me cry harder. Anyway, like I said in the beginning I couldn't cry when I was in the hospital, I remained dry-eyed as I watched most of the other ladies go through their post-operative blues and weeps. But when I got home again and saw all my own things and all my own dear people in all their right places well, you guessed it .. it was just too, too much. By MRS.
