Goodbye Girls

The moment I'd been dreading since even before we reached Australia was upon us.

For the third time in two years it was time to say a deeply emotional farewell to my beloved daughters and embark on a prolonged period without seeing them or being involved in their lives.

The pain of separating from them is intense but I take heart from the lengthy conversations we've had over these past two to three weeks and I'll never lose hope that we can be closer at some point in the future.

Goodbye for now girls, behave yourselves, study hard, create options and never forget how much we love and miss you.

And to the people at the airport looking, slightly alarmed, in my direction - haven't you ever seen a rather unkempt, grey-haired fellow wailing uncontrollably before?
