We Wish You Enough Recently, overheard a father & daughter saying their
good byes at the airport. They had announced her plane's departure and
standing near the security gate, they hugged and he said, "I love
you. I wish you enough." She said, "Daddy, I wish you enough,
too." They kissed and she left to board her plane. He walked over
toward the window where I was seated. "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's a wish that has been handed down from
other generations. My parents used to say it to everyone." He paused
for a moment, and looking up as if trying to remember it in detail, he
smiled even more. "When we said 'I wish you enough', we were wanting
the other person to have a life filled with enough good things to sustain
them," he continued and then turning toward me, he shared the following
as if he were reciting it from memory: |
