I
Received this in an email and thought it needed to be shared.
Recently I
overheard a mother and daughter in their last moments together at the airport. They had announced the departure. 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 was seated. 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 we re 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 as if she were reciting it from memory.
I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude b right no matter how grey the day may appear. I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun even more.
I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive and everlasting.
I
wish you enough pain so that even the smallest of joys in life may appear 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 but then an entire life to forget them.
Only if you wish copy and send this to the people you will never forget. 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
