I Wish You Enough Recently, I overheard a father and daughter in their last momets together.  They had announced her plane's departure and standing near the security gate, they hugged and he said,  "I love you.  I wish you enough." She said,  "Daddy, our life together had been more than enough.  Your love is all I ever needed.  I wish you enough, too, Daddy."   They kissed and she left. He walked over to the window where I was seated.  Standing there,  I could see he wanted and needed to cry.  I tried not to intrude on his privacy, but he welcomed me in by asking,  "Did you ever say goodbye to someone knowing it would be forever???" "Yes, I have,"  I replied.  Saying that brought back memories I had of expressing my love and appreciation for all my Dad had done for me.  Recognizing that his days were limited, I took the time to tell him face to face how much he meant ot me.  So I know what this man was experiencing,  "Forgive me for asking, but why is this a forever goodbye,"  I asked. "I am old, and she lives much too far away.  I have challenges ahead, and the reality is her next trip back will be for my funeral," he said. "When you were saying goodbye I heard you say 'I wish you enough.'  May I ask you what that means???" He began to smile.  "That's a wish that has been handed down from other generations.  My parents used to say it to everyone."  He paused for a moment, and looking up as if trying to remember it in detail, he smiled even more.  "When we said 'I wish you enough,' we were wanting the other person to have a life filled with enough good things to sustain them,"  he continued and then turning toward me, he shared the following as if he were 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  'Hello's' to get you through the final 'Goodbye.'"  He then began to sob and walked away. My friends and loved ones,  I wish you ENOUGH!!!   submitted by a dear friend email source unknown
