I Wish You Enough

[Guest guest]

I am hoping this works. Immediately after posting my last message (to Courage)

I was wallowing a bit in the unfairness of LBD. I thought I would turn off my

computer and do something really depressing like clean my house when my sister

sent me the following....

Needless to say - To all my friends in " Lewyville " , I wish you enough!

I Wish You Enough 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.

�

TAKE TIME TO LIVE!

�

To all my friends and loved ones,

�

I WISH YOU ENOUGH!
