> 
> 
> Wish you enough...
> 
> Recently, I overheard a mother and daughter in their last moments together
> 
> at the airport as the daughter's departure had been announced.
> 
> 
> 
> Standing near the security gate, they hugged and the mother said, "I love
> 
> you and I wish you enough."
> 
> 
> 
> The daughter replied,
> 
> "Mom, our life together has been more than enough.
> 
> Your love is all I ever needed. I wish you enough, too, Mom"
> 
> 
> 
> They kissed and the daughter left. The mother walked over to the window
> 
> where I sat. Standing there, I could see she wanted and needed to cry.
> 
> 
> 
> I tried not to intrude on her privacy but she welcomed me in by asking,
> 
> 
> 
> "Did you ever say good-bye to someone knowing it would be forever?"
> 
> 
> 
> "Yes, I have," I replied. "Forgive me for asking but why is this a forever
> 
> good-bye?" 
> 
> 
> 
> "I am old and she lives so far away. I have challenges ahead and the reality
> 
> is the next trip back will be for my funeral,"
> 
> she said. 
> 
> 
> 
> When you were saying good-bye, I heard you say, "I wish you enough." May I
> 
> ask what that means?"
> 
> 
> 
> She began to smile. "That's a wish that has been handed down from other
> 
> generations. My parents used to say it to everyone."
> 
> She paused a moment
> 
> and looked up as if trying to remember it in detail and she smiled even
> 
> more. 
> 
> 
> 
> "When we said 'I wish you enough' we were wanting the other person to have a
> 
> life filled with just enough good things to sustain them".
> 
> 
> 
> Then turning toward me, she shared the following, reciting it from memory.
> 
> 
> 
> I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright. I wish you enough rain
> 
> to appreciate the sun more.
> 
> 
> 
> I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive.
> 
> 
> 
> 
> 
> I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in life appear much bigger.
> 
> 
> 
> 
> 
> I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.
> 
> 
> 
> I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess.
> 
> 
> 
> I wish you enough hellos to get you through the final good-bye.
> 
> 
> 
> She then began to cry and walked away.
> 
> 
> 
> They say it takes a minute to find a special person, An hour to appreciate
> 
> them, A day to love them, And an entire life to forget them.
> 
> 
> 
> Send this to the people you will never forget and remember to send it back
> 
> to the person who sent it to you.
> 
> 
> 
> If you don't send it to anyone, it may mean that you are in such a Hurry
> 
> that you have forgotten your friends.
> 
> 
> 
> TAKE TIME TO LIVE!
> 
> 
> 
> To all my friends and loved ones,
> 
> 
> 
> I WISH YOU ENOUGH!
