i wish you enough

usually im skeptical about these little forwards, but i cut out all the if you dont send this to 37 people you will live a miserable life nonsence, the rest is very enlightening :)

Recently I overheard a Father and daughter in their last moments >> together at the airport.  They had announced the departure. >>  >> Standing near the security gate, they hugged and 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 ever needed.  I wish you enough, too, > Dad.' >>  >> They kissed and the daughter left.  The Father walked over to the >> window where I was seated.  Standing there I could see he wanted and >> needed to cry.  I tried not to intrude on his privacy, but he 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,' he said. >>  >> 'When you were saying good-bye, I heard you say, 'I wish you enough.' >>  May I ask what that means?' >>  >> He began to smile.  '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.'  Then turning toward me, he shared the following as if >> he 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. >>  >> He then began to cry and walked away.
