I wish you Enough ----------------------- I WISH YOU ENOUGH---------------------------- YOU all know who you are...the ones who challenge me daily to be a better person. How is that working out for you anyway? I wish you luck with that ambition. Here is something for you all who care. Never forget that I make friends for life and I got your back. I know you have my back. It is a long one but you will like it. --------------------------------------------------------- I wish you enough love At an airport I overheard a father and daughter in their last moments together. They had announced her planes departure and standing near the door, he said to his daughter, I love you, I wish you enough. She said, Daddy, our life together has been more than enough. Your love is all I ever needed. I wish you enough, too, Daddy. They kissed good-bye and she left. He walked over toward 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 good-bye 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 to me. So I knew what this man was experiencing. Forgive me for asking, but why is this a forever good-bye? 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 good-bye I heard you say, I wish you enough. May I ask what that means? He began to smile. Thats 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 enough Hellos to get you through the final Good-bye.. written by Bob Perks nangalama.blogspot.ca/2014/10/i-wish-you-enough.html
