A great leap

It has been a difficult 6 months since HF commenced work in Manchester as she's been commuting back and forth to Leeds. It was quite okay initially but as time passes her job became something more of a frustration and upsetting. The successful work permit application was expensive and was funded personally. However, she's been on the lookout for new opportunities yet at the same time risking yet another hefty payment to the Home Office for another application if she accepts another job offer. Being happy at the job is more important and is the only thing that will keep a person doing what s/he is doing efficiently.

A company offered her a position and we were all happy to hear. However, there were a couple of documents not forwarded to HF that were required for another permit application. She was in her pits. But news came in later saying that they (the new company) will foot all relevant bills and will take all matters pertaining to her successful employment at the company in hand. That made not only her day, but all of us including my mother who has just been in town. It is indeed a cause for celebration, and if at all, would be HF's best Christmas gift!

I am deeply moved because I know she did all these for me. If I were not her reason, she would have given up on the job. Indebted...
