Blessing Of Inheritance

ENOUGH

Recently, I 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 - her 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.

T hen , she 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 an entire life to forget them.
* Only if you wish , send this to the people you will never forget , and remember to send it back to the person who sent it to you. If you don't send it to anyone, it may mean that you are in such a hurry that you have forgotten your friends.
TAKE TIME TO LIVE.....
To all my friends and loved ones,
MARK.......
