Enough. . . .

They say it takes a minute to find a special person,
an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them;
but then an entire lifetime to forget them.

A father and daughter were in their last moments together at the airport,
Standing near the security gate, the Father said, 'I love you, and I wish you enough.'
The daughter replied, 'Dad, our life together has been more than enough. Your love is all I have ever needed. I wish you enough, too, Dad.' and she departed.

The Father walked over to the window, where a young woman was sitting, and he asked her: Did you ever say good-bye to someone knowing it would be forever?'
'Yes, I have,' She replied. 'Forgive me for asking, but why is this a forever good-bye?'.

“Well, you see, I am old, and my daughter lives so far away. I have challenges ahead and the reality is - the next trip back will be for my funeral.'

The woman says 'When you were saying good-bye, I heard you say, 'I wish you enough.' May I ask what that means?'

He began to smile. And said 'That's a wish that has 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 it in detail, and he 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.
He turned toward the woman, Smiled and he shared the following :

“I wish you enough sun to keep your life bright no matter how gray it may be.
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 larger.
I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.
I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you can possess.
I wish you enough hellos to get you through the final good - byes. “

He then began to cry and simply walked away.
