okay yeah so its cheezy, its one of them email FWDs that you get once in awhile... but i really liked this one so i thought id put it up.
maybe its just still me being all hormonal and emotional hahaa... but i really did like it.
I got this from my sister and she got it from someone else, and it sounds so good that
I wish that I had written it so I stole it and sent it to you.
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 - 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 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.
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 but then 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........ Love is
giving someone the power to destroy you, but trusting them not to.
I wish you enough too.......
