Recently I overheard a mother and daughter in their last moments together at the airport. They had  36   the departure(离开). Standing near the security gate, they hugged and the mother said "I love you and I  37  you enough."

 The daughter replied, "Mom, our life together has been  38   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  39  . Standing there   40  could see she wanted and needed to cry. I tried not to disturb her privacy（探听隐私）but she  41   me in by asking "Did you ever say  42   to someone knowing it would be forever?"

 "Yes, I have," I replied. "Forgive me for asking but why is this a   43  goodbye ?" "I am old and she lives so far away. I have   44   ahead and the reality is -- the next trip back will be for my  45  " she said.

 "When you were saying goodbye, I heard you say 'I wish you enough'. May I ask what that means?" She began to  46  . "That's a wish that has been handed down from other  47  . My parents used to say it to everyone".

  She paused a moment and looked up   48  trying to remember it in detail and she smiled even more. "When we said 'I wish you enough' we were wanting  49  person to have a life filled with just enough good things to maintain 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. I wish you enough rain to   50  the sun more. I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive. I wish you enough pain so that the smallest  51  in life appear much bigger. I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting. I wish you enough loss to appreciate all  52  you possess(拥有). I wish you enough hellos to get you through the final   53  .

  She then began to   54   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 then an entire life to  55  them.
