WISH YOU ENOUGH

TAKE TIME TO LIVE…..
 
To all my friends and loved ones, WISH YOU ENOUGH
 
 
Recently I overheard a mother and daughter in their last moments  together at the airport. They had announced the departure. Standing near the security gate, they hugged and the mother said, “I love you and I wish you  enough.”
 
The daughter replied, “Mom, our life together has been more than 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 seated. Standing there I could see she wanted and needed to cry. I tried not to intrude on her privacy but she 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,” she said.
 
 ”When you were saying good-bye, I heard you say, ‘I wish you enough.’ May  I  ask what that means?”.
 
She began to smile. “That’s a wish that has been handed down from other generations. My parents used to say it to everyone.”
 
She paused a moment and looked up as if trying to remember it in detail and she 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, 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 pain
so that the smallest joys in life appear much bigger.

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

 
 
She 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.
 
Send this to the people you will never forget. If you don’t send it to anyone it may mean that you are in such a hurry that you have forgotten your friends.

crap!

its weird how some days dont work out and some days are  like beds of roses.. as of right now? its officially freakin-fucked-up-day. it started with really shitty calls from really stupid callers. im usually patient and happy in my disposition while taking in calls but i guess stress, stubbornness and problems got the better of me today. sa inis ko naiiyak na nga ako eh. my coach probly felt my frustration and he let me take a break even if i already did take my break.. aux 7! so i went to the bathroom and i juz let it all out.. thats really how i am. pag inis na inis na talga ako i cry. i juz felt so drained and stressed and so fed up with work at that time that i really felt like giving up. had i not gone to the bathroom i probly wouldve walked out already in the heat of the moment. this has the first time that i my emotions got the better of me. weird thing though, after a few mins of outbursts of tears, i couldnt stop crying…i dunno why.. that was so weird.. i was like telling myself to stop crying but tears juz kept flowing. *sigh* do all of the people really go through those stages? ive always loved my job regardless of how shitty other people may think of it. i actually enjoy what im doing. but last nite.. it was different.. whew.. that was somethin different.. hope i dont see that side of me again… =). as for now.. i am, little by little, trying to put a smile on my face for everything.
