Somthing I read and wanted to share with ya'll

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 thewindow where I
> was seated. Standing there I could see she wanted and needed to cry. I tried not
> to intrude on her privacy butshe 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 smiled. "That's a wish that has been handed down
> from other generations.
> My parents used to say it to everyone". "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 memoryI 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.
> 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.

Mercedes I am so sorry to hear that it is taking time for your son's meds to get to him. I read this and get very angry. There is a reason why someone is on medication and being off of it is not good. Where is your son if you don't mind me asking? Is there anyone that you can talk to and get the process hurried up. Anyone reading this and can give Mercedes some direction in this matter please help. Our children our human beings and to be treated in unhumane ways is uncalled for! :angry:

Write the warden and cite the American's with disabilities act

Thank you,TBmom and rkered. My son is at Luther unit, Navasota Tx. I've had a chance think again. I've wrote my son a letter today in responce to what he said about his meds being taken away and they started him on some kind of seizure med but he did'nt tell me the name of this med. I'm kind of in the dark about this because he never suffered seizures before he went to prison. He's told me he's had three since he's been in prison. I'll be calling the prison to find out just what exactly is going on and why they are mishandling him by denying the meds he's been on for almost two years. Again thank you for your advice. Mercedes

Mercedes Good Morning mercedes, I am so sorry about your mother. Do you have only the one son? I have 2 boys one in prison and my youngest who just turned 17 yrs old he has been fighting lymphoma for the last 6 months. He is doing very well and is almost done with his intense treatment. I keep saying to my self, God is only giving me what he knows i can handle. God bless you and your family.

Nitamac, thank you for sharing "I wish you enough". I'm going to send it to my son. Have a blessed week.

nitamac, Thank you for your kind words. My mother has a blood disorder/aplastic disease. God really has given us many more years with her than we thought we'd have. I have a daughter also, I brought her here to Va. back in April, to live with me, she's 23. I'm sorry to hear about your sons lymphoma. It's a strange coincidence, my son that is in prison is a long term survivor of ALL/AML leukemia. So, be very hopeful of your sons recovery. My son was diagnosed in 88', back then it was a rare type of leukemia, he relapsed 11 months into therapy but by the grace of God, the second induction of therapy worked. After 3 more years of maintinance(sp) therapy he stayed well. I'm always asking him about his bruising and things like that since he's been in prison, because I still worry about his blood. I just keep trying to do like you said and say to myself God will only give me what I can handle. My prayers to you and your family for a long healthy future and may God bless you all,too. Mercedes
