Recently I overheard a father and daughter in their last moments together at the airport. The airline had announced her departure and standing near the security gate，they hugged and he said，“I love you. I wish you enough”

She in turn said，“Dad，our life together has been more than enough. Your love is a11 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 cry. I tried not to disturb 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’m  old and she lives much too 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 1 heard you say,‘1 wish you enough. ‘m ay I ask what that means?”

He began to smile. “That’s a wish that has been handed down for many generations within my family. My parents used to say it to everyone. ”

He paused for a moment，looking up as if trying to remember it in detail，and then 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(使…持续)them. ，，He continued and then turning toward me be 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 a11 that you possess

I wish you enough ‘Hellos’ to get you enough the final ‘Good―byes’”

Then he walked away.

I WISH YOU ENOUGH !
