Enough

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 - her 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 wanted 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 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, she 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 an entire life to forget them.

* Only if you wish, send this to the people you will never forget, and
remember to send it back to the person who sent it to you. 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........

We went fishing for mothers day and all the kids caught a fish.

We had a lot of fun as you can see the fish are good sized.

The weather was nice and warm can't wait till we can go swimming.

Soon we will be going camping for my sons birthday.
