For crappie kid, Limited out, and anyone else that has suffered a loss. I got this from a friend of mine recently and it really kind of hit home and I thought that I would share it with you all...

What is 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 goodbye to someone knowing it would be forever?"

"Yes, I have," I replied. "Forgive me for asking but why is this a forever goodbye?" "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 goodbye, 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 rain to appreciate the sun more. I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive. I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in life appear much 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.

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

[Jackpine Rob]

My heart goes out to the family and friends.

Thank you all. It has been the toughest 3 days of my life. The mystic missuori river that i so often fished with Dallas has taken him home.

We buried his dog Hutch yesterday in his back yard. He looked very at peace. I took Koreen, his wife, to the site yesterday about 40 miles outside of Pierre. It was the most peaceful and beautiful spot i had ever seen. Flocks of geese were flying by with the sun shining in the horizon. In one of those moments a man will never forget his wife looked at me and said "He is finally in the place he loved so much."

Dallas always liked the thrill of a walleye catch. Whether it was taking a child out, his wife, myself, or when he would guide, he have that same glaring smile when he set the hook. He taught me more about fishing and respecting this beautiful land more than anyone i know. His life was construction but his love was fishing. In fact the day before he had limited out on some nice jumbos just down the river and was so proud when he call Koreen.

The seach will resume today with a lot more reinforcements being brought in. There is a part of me that hopes he will never be found so he can swim with the walleyes he so often sought out.

The family and especially me would like to thank you all for you prayers. It is times like these when a family like this make a huge difference.
