A few hours ago Mum and Dad left for Geraldton to drop Dad off at the airport. Dad is the chief IR on the Deep Orient, the offshore vessel he is currently on. Normally Tais and I go to Geraldton with him, but today we didn’t because we hate the drive and it’s really sad when we leave him at the airport. So we stayed at home and said goodbye to him. Thats when I cried. I hate saying goodbye to him. This time he’ll be going away for 5 weeks. Even though we hate it when he goes away, and we miss him terribly, we all know that he only does it for us.
