Recently, I overheard a mother and daughter in their last moments together at the airport as the daughter\u2019s departure had been announced. Standing near the security gate, they hugged and the mother said: \u201cI love you and I wish you enough.\u201d\n The daughter replied, \u201cMom, our life together has been more than enough. Your love is all I ever needed. I wish you enough, too, Mom.\u201d They kissed and the daughter left.\n The mother walked over to the window where I sat. 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, \u201cDid you ever say good-bye to someone knowing it would be forever?\u201d \u201cYes, I have,\u201d I replied. \u201cForgive me for asking but why is this a forever good-bye?\u201d\n \u201cI 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,\u201d she said. When you were saying good-bye, I heard you say, \u201cI wish you enough. May I ask what that means?\u201d\n She began to smile. \u201cThat\u2019s a wish that has been handed down from other generations. My parents used to say it to everyone.\u201d She paused a moment and looked up as if trying to remember it in detail and she smiled even more.\n “When we said \u2018I wish you enough\u2019 we were wanting the other person to have a life filled with just enough good things to sustain them\u201d. Then turning toward me, she shared the following, reciting it from memory,\n \u201cI wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright.\n I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more.\n I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive.\n I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in life appear much bigger.\n I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.\n I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess.\n I wish you enough hellos to get you through the final good-bye.\u201d\n She then began to cry and walked away.\n ————————————–\n Nurture Relationship. As they say\u2026.It takes a minute to find a special person. An hour to appreciate them. A day to love them. And then an entire life to forget them.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Recently, I overheard a mother and daughter in their last moments together at the airport as the daughter\u2019s departure had been announced.
