I wish you enough...

An email I received this morning, that I just had to share...

Recently I overheard a mother and daughter in their last moments together at the airport. Standing near the security gate, they hugged and the mother said, "I love you, and I wish you enough."

The daughter replied, "I wish you enough, too, Mom."

They kissed and the daughter left. Standing there I could see the mother 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! 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. 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."

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.

L*O*V*E that! It just gives me the 'warm & fuzzies'!
