Go and Come Back Safely

I recalled today this scene:
A woman in a kimono, bowing as her husband left and wishing his back, "Itterasshai." [Generally means take care; see you later]
It was from a Korean sci-fi movie someone had lent me many many years ago; I can't remember the name of the movie now or much of the plot... But to this day, that scene sticks because it was so poignant. She knew her husband wasn't or couldn't ever come back... yet she still wished him 'itterasshai'.
Tis a bittersweet thing... Sending someone off knowing they'll never come back.
And having to bring someone back when you didn't even know you were sending them off.
She always said she wanted to come home. I just never thought it would be this way.
