Recently I overheard a father and daughter in their last moments together at the airport. The airline had announced her
and standing near the security gate, they hugged and he said, “I love you. I wish you enough.” She
said, “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 she left.
He walked over toward the window where I was seated. Standing there I could see he wanted and needed to
. I tried not to interrupt him, but he
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
and she lives much too far away. I have
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
for many generations within my family. My parents
say it to everyone.”
He paused for a moment, looking up as if trying to remember it
, and then he smiled and
the following:
“I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright.
I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more.
I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive.
I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in life appear much
.
I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.
I wish you enough
to appreciate all that you possess.
I wish you enough ‘Hellos’ to get you enough the final ‘Good-byes’.”
Then he walked away, leaving me lost in thought.
