One day I was at the airport and witnessed the scene of a farewell between a father and his daughter. Her flight was called, and I heard her say to her father: "Daddy, our life with you has been more than enough. Your love is exactly what I have always lacked. And I wish you enough." They kissed and she left. He went to the window where I was sitting. I saw that he needed to cry. I did not want to interfere, but he turned to me himself: "Do you ever say goodbye, knowing that this is forever?" "Yes," I answered. "I'm sorry to interrupt, but why do you say it's forever?" I asked. "I'm old, and she lives very far away. I really look at things and understand that next time she will fly here only for my funeral." "When you were saying goodbye, I heard her say to you, 'I wish you enough.' May I ask you what that means?" He smiled. "This is a wish that is passed down from generation to generation. My parents used to say it to everyone." He froze for a second and, raising his head up, as if remembering, smiled again. "When we say 'I wish you enough', we wish a person to have enough good things in his life to support him." He turned to me and read like a poem from memory: I wish you enough sun to keep your affairs bright. I wish you enough rain to learn to appreciate the sun. I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive. I wish you enough pain to make small joys seem bigger. I wish you enough money to make your dream come true. I wish you enough loss to learn to appreciate all that you have. I wish there was enough "hello" in your life for them to support you despite the "goodbye forever". He cried and left... © CryptoGuru

sad but sometimes we actually have no choice but to leave
