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.
