Recently, I happened to hear a mother and daughter in their last moments together at the airport as the daughter prepared to leave.
They hugged and the mother said “I love you and I wish you enough.” They kissed and the daughter left.
The mother walked over to the window where I sat. Standing there, I could see she was going to cry. I tried not to disturb her but she welcomed me by asking “Have you ever said goodbye to someone knowing it would be forever?”
“Yes,” I replied. “But may I know why this is the final goodbye?”
“I am ill and she lives so far away. It’s highly possible that the next trip back will be for my funeral(葬礼)” she said.
“When you were saying goodbye, I heard you say ‘I wish you enough’. May I ask what that means?”
“That’s a wish that has been handed down from past generations. My parents used to say it to everyone.” She paused for a moment and looked up as if trying to remember it in detail and she smiled even more.
“When we say ‘I wish you enough’, we want the other person to have a life filled with just enough good things to be with them”. Then turning to me, she shared the following:
“I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright.
“I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more.”
1. What did the mother mean by saying it was a “forever goodbye”?
A. She will never leave her daughter far away.
B. The goodbye will last forever in their hearts.
C. Her daughter has never said goodbye to her before.
D. She won’t get to see her daughter before her death.
2.Which of the following about “I wish you enough” is TRUE?
A. The woman’s parents used to say it to others
B. The woman couldn’t remember the details.
C. It is used by children to show their love for their parents.
D. It is a secret wish shared by the woman and her daughter.
3.What do you think of the mother mentioned in the article?
A. Kind and selfless. B. Careless and kind.
C. Lazy and polite. D. Rich and weak.
4.What is the article mainly about?
A. How to see somebody off at the airport.
B. How to start a talk with a person you don’t know.
C. How the mother showed love for her daughter.
D. How the writer got to know “I wish you enough”.
