At an airport I overheard an old father and his daughter in their last moments together. The father said to his daughter, “I love you, I wish you enough.”She said: “Daddy, our life together has been more than enough．Your love is all I ever needed．I wish you enough, too, Daddy．” They kissed good-bye and she left．

He walked  over  toward the window where I was seated．I could see the old man wanted to cry, He stopped and asked me, “Did you ever say good-bye to  someone knowing it would be forever?”“Yes, I have,” I replied．Saying that brought back memories I had of expressing my love and appreciation for all my dad had done for me.

“ Forgive  me for asking, but why is this a forever good-bye?” I asked． “I am old and she lives much too far away．I have  challenges  ahead and the reality is- her next trip back will be for my funeral,” he said． “When you were saying good-bye I heard you say, “I wish you enough．'' May I ask what that means?” He began to smile．“That is a

wish that has been handed down from other  generations.”

He paused for a moment and looking up as if trying to remember it in detail, he  smiled  even more．“When we

said it, we were wanted the other person to have a life filled with enough good things,” he continued and then  turning toward me, he shared the following  as if  he were reciting it from memory．“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． He then began to sob and walked away．
