A beautiful belle shared her story with me...I in turn share it with the rest if you:
"Recently I overheard a father and his daughter sharing their last moments together at the airport. Standing at the security gate thay hugged and the
father said, 'I wish you enough'
The daughter replied, 'Dad our life together has been more then enough' Your love was all I ever needed. I wish you enough too dad.
They kissed and the daughter left. The father 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 welcome me in by asking 'Did you ever say goodbye 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, she lives so far away. I have challenges ahead and the reality is next trip back will be for my funeral. He said.
When I heard you say Good-bye I heard you say "I wish you enough. May I ask what that means?
He began to smile "thats a wish thats been handed down from other generations"My parents used to say it to everyone.....He paused a moment and looked up as if trying to remember every detail, and he smiled even more. When we said I wish you enough, we were wanting the person to have a
life filled with just enough good thing to sustain them. Then he turned toward me and shared the following.
I wish you enough sun to keep your additude bright no matter how gray 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.
Then he walked away and began to cry.
Thay say it only takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them and
a lifetime to forget them.
Only if you wish send this to the people you will never forget. If you don't send it to anyone that means you are
in such a hurry you have forgotten your friends.
Take Time To Live.......
