'Okay, I'm off,' I say a bit awkwardly to my mother, but what can I say, I'm an awkward person when it comes to things like saying goodbye to my mother who I would not see again for a year, 'I'll miss you heaps and call you hopefully once a week.' I can see the tears in her eyes, threatening to take full control of her emotions.
' I'll miss you to honey, good luck!' that was her breaking point, before I knew it she took me in her arms and held me in a loving embrace.
