(Photo by Ellis) area -news I'd like to ask a favour i (Editor's note: Bea Maloney -Fadden is a • McKillop native and daughter of Wilfred Maloney, former longtime Expositor Dub- lin correspondent.) - BY BEA MALONEY-FADDEN I had a real compliment on July 19. Mike said "Chips don't fall far from the old block. You are like dad." —fife been trying to tell people that for years. While it has always en a real complimeot to be teld I am 1)k' my mother. I always wanted to be like my dad too. I' needed the qualities, both strong and rio so strong, of both parents, to play out my God-given part. . Dad wasn't a perfect human being any more than you or 1. He hated to be crossed. And wouldn't it be nice, if we could sail through life and never _have anyone cross-check us? (Dad said a high price for that shortcoming.) Fortunately we're all sevenallowed 21 major flaws and seven minor ones. (Love is an understanding 'of human weakness with the trite man' shining through.) For every shortcoming he had, he had two good points that cancelled them alt. I don't think anything spe.alcs fonder for my smother thin who she picked for a father for her children. She was a wise woman. Maybe she.knew that her children and children4n-law would be tested plenty before they kiss this old world goodbye. She knew that she could count on dad to prepare them for life, and Well he dhl--it eerrts we need a blend of grarrire" and gentleness. It takes a very. strong 'man to be gentle. WHEN BILL KELLY DD3D I'll never forget when Bill Kelly died. Dad felt s00000 terrible. He was cryirfg hi Marion's kitchen. (Only real men cry, or wish they could.) Marion said, "Don't worry dad, I'll be all right. You didn't spoil me" and so she yeas. Need I say more? Fortunately, Mary was there that day. She didn't say too much but oh my God her strength was felt. When it looked like we were going to collapse from the shock and grief of it all quietly Mary said "Maybe one drink would help calm our nerves." (A drink like that has done a lot of good at cru al moments hasn't it?) Mary took a flask o hiskey from her purse. 1 didn t end to say so much, but this is important. On 'New Years Eve of 1971 dad and 1 went down to Kelly's and dad said all the way down what a great woman Mary was. We played cards, drank a lot of whiskey and all the way from Kinkora to Dublin, dad said what agoad woman Mary was. SAY A PRAYER I would like to ask all of the good people up home. to say- a prayer that he gets an early retirement from this cancer. It's bigger than he is. ,1„......,.-Becaase his kids love that old man so much, they can hardly stand to visit him any more. - But if it's God's will - well then, I've learned to trust Him. But 1 hate things I don't understand. Be sure a wiser hand than/ours or mine pours out the potion for cur lips to drink. If only that wasn't so hard to put to -practice when you are being put to the test. HE KNEW ME Last Sunday I went to visit him. He was asleep when I got there', but he knew me rlght off. 't always know me, or so he, sayrt. Js voice had its old v brance. He sat on thct the bed eating his strawberry sundae. I sat beside him and Lynne, my little girl, was there. To me he's one of the heroes of this country --so why's he all -dressed up like that old man? I was reading him his euchre poem (when I could find my voice that it). He eajoyed it. Whoever did win that old rooster I asked him? Frank Flannery won it was his answer. He always liked Frank - who wouldn't? That reminds me, I was at Frank's last summer. He had a sign on one of His barn doors "Keep this damn door closed." Dad onuld have gotten a kick out of that. A TENDENCY TO WANDER I have a terrible tendency to wander - it's the Holland corning through. He finished every drop of the sundae and said, "Oh Bea. •I didn't leave you any." I wanted to say "You left me s00000 much," but I couldn't find my yoice (that's all right. that's allowed. He still picked up my 'warmth - once a man, twice a child). Still I wanted to say I'd have never made it, if I hadn't had you for a dad, as well as mom and Mary for a mother, of course. I didn't always feel that way. You don't get your act together overnight, a , lot of blood, sweat and tears goes into, a good performance„ as well as a .lot Of real joy. (Pleasure comes from the body, but, joy comes from the soul.) Is it any wonder I married someone so similar in so many ways to him? It took me a long time to se& that too. I'm a slow learner (NB). We get too soon old and too late smart. (Mike's been feeding me wise sayings for years.) When I handed him a cigarette he said "I want all I can get for nothing", and he willed and lay back down on the bed. "I'm sleeping all the time now," he sighed. And I couldn't keep from rememberin' (never could spell except when it counted.) UNCLE DENNIE'S STORY Uncle Dennie told me this story many times. (People listen without hearing.) - Aunt Nora and Uncle Joe are my Godparents. (I'm trying to work on becoming humble these days, forgive me wh‘'n brag.) The luck that I have had along the way. ' When Uncle Joe was told he couldn't work any more, Dennie Was there. He said Nora was so kind and encouraging. She took him by the arm and said, "Come pn home Joe, you've worked hard ,enough" and so I thought yes, go back to sleep dad, "You've worked hard enough, too." "Just have a good sleep now." I'll be glad now and ready when the call.comes that says - dad is at peace, because dad was crying on Sunday those old unshed tears again.
