bye daddy....

I use to do a lot of shift work, and lots of times the hours are really long and uncertain...
You know, you leave home whilst it's still dark and you come back when it's dark too, and the kids are already in bed...and dinner is cold...

And this'll happen for weeks on end, weekends included. You basically go home for a laundry change, and home cooked food. Hardly see the family.

One day...there was this mate of ours who's on the same shift and came in one day with a glum look on him...

He said goodbye to his kids when he was leaving for work...and the younger daughter called out to him, "Bye Daddy, come again tomorrow..."
