The Tale of a Father

The Tale of a Father

The daughter was going aboard for higher studies, in their farewell movements together at the security gate of the airport, they hugged each other and the father said, ‘I love you and wish you enough’ , to this replied the daughter “Dad our life together has been more than enough. Your love is all I ever needed. I wish you enough, too dad". They kissed and the daughter left.

The father moved to the glass partition next to lady so he could have some last glimpses of his departing daughter, and she could feel that he had totally collapsed internally and wanted and need to cry. She kept staring at him in shock. She tried not to intrude on his privacy, but he welcomed her in by asking, did you ever say Good-bye to someone knowing it would be forever? Yes, I have, she replied. Forgive me for asking, but why is this goodbye forever? “I am old, and she is going for a long time and that to so 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, I heard you say, I wish you enough" may I ask what that means?” Asked the lady. He began to smile, "That’s a wish that has been handed down from mother, and she always used to say it to me". He paused a moment and looked up as if, trying to remember it in detail, and he smiled ever more, when we said, I wish you enough, we wanted the other person to have a life filled with just enough good things to sustain them

I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright, no matter how gray the day may appear.

I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.

I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you Possess.

I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun even more.

I wish you enough hellos to get you through the final good-bye.

Hethen began to cry and moved 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.

So friends and loved ones, I wish you enough

"So take time to live... I wish you Enough"

Have a Blessed life
