THOUGHT from Fr Kevin;
CARING DISCIPLINE – BUT FAITHFUL LOVE
Many my age or older will remember that great Waterford singer who made his fame in England, Val Doonigan. He started life in the humblest of circumstances, the youngest of eight children. As a boy he was taken suddenly to hospital with scarlet fever. On one visit his Dad asked him to write down something he would dearly love to have when he came out of hospital. Val knew that his Dad was too poor to buy anything, but that he was very clever with his hands. So he asked for a “trolley” or a little cart – one of those little carts made from planks and pram wheels. When he came out of hospital the first thing he saw on entering the front room was a marvelous “little cart” complete with steering wheel, which his father had made. But there was a strict condition attached – he must never ride on the pavement where it might be a danger to pedestrians. One day young Val broke this rule. When his Dad found out he calmly took the vehicle to pieces and hung the wheels up in the back yard! And for years Val, God rest him, said how he looked back with huge admiration for his Dad, just as much for his caring discipline as for his generosity and kindness.
