may I wish you enough?

Question

Never let it be said that I forget my friends


Recently 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 . If you don't
forgotten your friends.

Answer 3

When a reporter asked the filthy rich billionaire Rockefeller what he could want, he quickly said "MORE!"

He was not rich, if he craved more. Real wealth is found in being satisfied with what you have.

Next time your spouse gets on your nerves, give her a big hug from me. Hugs are low cal treats, and good for what ails you.
