He works on a 2 weeks on, one week off, fly-in, fly-out roster on a barren island off the north-west coast. It's always hard to say goodbye knowing we won't see each other again for a fortnight. I always stay to watch him disappear into the throng of hi-vis shirts and duffel bags at the airport terminal. Very often, he's already in work mode and doesn't turn around or look back. Possibly because it would make it harder for him to leave.
