My youngest daughter Emma (Joshua's mum) is being posted to Dubai late August, early September. She has had a tough life, bringing up two boys on her own. This is an offer that she would be mad not to accept. It looks as if it will be for five years. She seems to spend most of the month in Dubai already. She will now work three weeks there and then come home for a week. Joshua will be going with her. He will look for a job and if there is nothing he will have to come back to South Africa. His younger brother will stay here as he still has another year of school. Masses of friends and my eldest daughter will be keeping an eye on him and he is having driving lessons at the moment so he can take over Joshua's car.<br /><br />

Joshua is beyond excited. Emma will take leave when they get to Dubai so she can show Josh around so he knows whats what.<br /><br />
Emma has worked so hard for this opportunity and feels that it is her turn now. I am so proud at what she has achieved, especially with all the problems with Josh and his leg. Go get'em Em.
Forgot to add that I am flying up to Johannesburg to see them before they leave. I have not seen Josh since Christmas and I am longing to see how he is getting on with his prosthesis. I have seen masses of pictures but is is not the same.

It's an exciting time in her life. You taught her to be strong and independent. Just think not many get free lodging in Dubai. I'll be listening for a first hand report on our Josh. Good luck.

It has been in the pipe line for a while. It has been a long wait until she signed her contract

This kind of loopy has been well deserved I think at least half of the cuties are loopy for them too! Best wishes for good visits and easy transitions for those leaving and those staying it will be an adjustment but one that they can work through with all the love and support around each of them. Pam

For Emma it is her dream job. There will be a lot of traveling as she will be looking after Africa and some of the Far East

Thank you Lillian. I will keep you in touch. I do not think it will be easy for Josh to get a job. He has his school certificate but that is all. If he cannot find a job he will have to come home.

Oh! how wonderful Sarah, I'm so excited for Emma and Joshua and I can sense your pride in this post. God bless them all and I'm sure Emma will be perfect for the position. It's also a great new opportunity for Joshua to begin a new venture. So glad to read that Jared will be looked after too by all his friends and acquaintances. Good luck with your trip to Johannesburg and please give Joshua a cuddle from down-under. Love Chris

Thank you Chris. It is going to seem strange at first but as Emma keeps telling me, she has been traveling back and forward to Dubai for over a year now.
