You may have heard this story before, but it's one that touches my heart every time I hear it: A lady was said to have over-heard a man at an airport saying good bye to his daughter, he then said "I Wish You Enough." After the daughter's plane had left, the woman asked this man what "I Wish You Enough" means. After a moment, he replied "It's a wish that has been handed down from other generations. My parents used to say it to everyone." He paused for a moment and then smiled even more. "When they said 'I wish you enough,' they were wanting the other person to have a life filled with just enough good things to sustain them," he continued and then turning toward me he shared 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 bigger.
I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.
I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess.
I wish enough "Hello's" to get you through the final "Goodbyes."
He then turned and walked away.
So to all of you - I also wish you enough!
