Sentimental Me #tbt

July 2, 2015

I was looking at an old post from my blog last night.  I originally posted it on July 5, 2012.  It is probably one of the most appropriate things I could have stumbled upon at this time in my life.  This is one from the heart.  My dad was a very emotional kind of guy.  Grab your tissues (I used my sleeve because I was too lazy to get up and find the box last night in the hotel room).  This one says it all!  Love you guys!  Thanks for always being there for me! xoxo

Sentimental Me (original post date 7-5-2012)

My Dad sent me an email that I just had to share with everyone because it was so touching. Of course I cried when I read it (and every time I re-read it) because both of my parents are in poor health and I just got back from visiting them. Feel free to copy my post and share it with those that you love.

Here goes:

This has been around and around many times, but worth repeating!

Recently I overheard a Father and daughter in their last moments together at the airport. They had announced the departure.

Standing near the security gate, they hugged and the Father said, ‘I love you, and I wish you enough.’

The daughter replied, ‘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 walked over to the window where I was seated. Standing there I could see he wanted and needed to cry. I tried not to intrude on his privacy, but he welcomed me in by asking, ‘Did you ever say good-bye to someone knowing it would be forever?’

‘Yes, I have,’ I replied. ‘Forgive me for asking, but why is this a forever good-bye?’..

‘I am old, and she lives 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?’

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 a moment and looked up as if trying to remember it in detail, and he smiled even more. ‘When we said, ‘I wish you enough,’ we were wanting the other person to have a life filled with just enough good things to sustain them.’ 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 no matter how gray the day may appear.

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

I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive and everlasting.

I wish you enough pain so that even the smallest of joys in life may appear bigger.

I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.

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

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

He then began to cry 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 forget them.
* Only if you wish, send this to the people you will never forget and remember to send it back to the person who sent it to you. If you don’t send it to anyone it may mean that you are in such a hurry that you have forgotten your friends.

TAKE TIME TO LIVE….

To all my friends and loved ones, I WISH YOU ENOUGH.

Meet Rose Couture, Southlake’s newest (and bigge Meet Rose Couture, Southlake’s newest (and biggest) nail bar and head spa. 

This place provides top notch service in the most beautiful atmosphere. Trust me when I say that you NEED to try them asap. Great for all ages and groups of all sizes.

I had their basic pedicure because I was short on time. But trust me, there was nothing basic about it! I’m headed back for a manicure today.

This is their newest location in the DFW metroplex. 

Have you ever seen anything like it?😍😍
