Tatay is still in the ICU

Dear Mama,

Tatay is still in the ICU, and still unconscious. From what I saw yesterday, I think he's getting worse Mama. I don't want to go to the hospital anymore. I don't want to see him suffering.

Until now, we still don't know what will happen Mama. I'm not sure what to expect.

That's all I can say now Mama. Take care of yourself.

I miss you Mama. I love you.

Tatay was transferred to the ICU

Dear Mama,

When I went to the hospital this afternoon, I saw that they were taking Tatay out of his room. He was transferred to the ICU Mama. He was really pale and weak, he wasn't conscious. I hope I am wrong that he is now surviving because of the life support system - the oxygen and the GNT placed on him.

Ate Let came at the hospital at around 4 pm and only have to visit Tatay in the ICU. I was really hoping that at least she would find him in the room, to make her travel worth.

I'm worried about Tatay, I hope she gets through Mama. I also pray that Nanay would be strong.

That will be all for now Mama, just updating on what happened today. Take care of yourself.

I miss you Mama. I love you.

So much to tell

Dear Mama,

Sorry for not writing again for quite a while. Lots of things have happened and I hope I can tell them all to you Mama. Ate Let is coming home, she actually arrived already, we're just waiting for her to come to the house. She'll be staying here Mama, that's why we were busy cleaning the house.

Unfortunately, before she arrived, Tatay was confined again yesterday. He's the reason why Ate Let wants to come home, to see Tatay. Now, she'll have to see him in the hospital. I was really hoping that it won't be the case, I was even telling Tatay that Ate Let will take her to ParaƱaque because he wants to go there.

Tatay is already weak Mama. The doctor wants to insert a tube in his nostrils because he's not taking any food.

But before that Mama, Edgar went home one day telling me he was picked as one of the school's players for sepak takraw in the public meet. He just doesn't know when. He was training hard for that Mama. Remember what I told you about his intrams experience? Because they lost, he worked even harder just to be able to get into the team.

Unfortunately, one day he came home telling me that his left arm was in pain. He slipped while going up the stairs in school and he had a bad fall. We wrapped in bandage and used the hand-sling support that Ralph used before. He was complaining for almost a week Mama. I thought he would need to be brought to the orthopedic. But he's fine now Mama, his arm is okay now.

Angel, on the other hand, has been going home alone during their exam. Because we were busy cleaning here, I told her if she wants to go home alone and she said yes immediately. But on the last day, she called and asked me to pick her up because her classmate left her. We were laughing while we were going home Mama, because she found out she really cannot go home alone.

I guess it's already a long letter Mama. I hope I didn't bore you with all these news. Oh, by the way, I don't have a job now. At least temporarily, I hope. The site I've been writing to is migrating to a new host, and what perfect timing! It's Ralph's enrollment for the 2nd semester! Oh well, I've been provided with before, I hope I can come up with something this time.

Really, that will be all Mama. You can rest now. Take care of yourself.

I miss you Mama.

I love you.

Special breakfast

Dear Mama,

Today I prepared a special breakfast for the kids. Well, it was not really special Mama, it was only pandesal dipped in egg and then fried. I only said special because it was requested. Who else could have requested it? You're right Mama, it was Edgar. Funny, I even have to cook a second batch because the first batch, 20+ pieces, wasn't enough for the kids.

You know Mama, something funny happened to me last night. After mass here in Marisol, I gave a copy of the book to the priest (Among Sol), I just thought he could appreciate it and might even use some of the stories in his homilies. But I was surprised because he asked me to sign it when he learned I was one of the author. I didn't know what to write Mama, the kids were laughing at me because I was asking them what, and where in the book, should I write. I don't think I'll get used to that Mama. I hope nothing of that nature would happened again, else I might faint.

Still working hard Mama, hoping to earn enough for Ralph's enrollment. Although I might resort to borrowing for a again because there isn't enough time (and opportunities) to raise the amount. Maybe things will pick up soon.

I've said a mouthful Mama. Take care of yourself. I miss you Mama.

I love you.

Kid's exam and some updates

Dear Mama,

Next week will be the kid's exam before they start their one week semestral break. Edgar is serious in honing his sepak takraw skills, he wants to play in the public meet Mama. Angel's script was presented in school this Friday, she also directed the presentation. It wasn't much Mama, because of lack of time and cooperation, but her teacher said her storyline was good.

Although she disappointed me again today Mama. I won't go into the details, I'm sure you've seen it all. I hope it's all part of our growing up Mama.

Last Wednesday, I got dizzy after getting angry at the kids. I tend to lose my cool lately again Mama. I am shouting more often again, and it doesn't feel good. I wish I could get a hold of myself, because I've been feeling a lot in my body lately Mama.

Anyway, your birthday's almost here Mama. We are going to celebrate it Mama. And I'm going to cook for you to make your birthday a happy one.

That's all for now Mama. Take care of yourself. I miss you Mama.

I love you.

I have a book now

Dear Mama,

The book is out. The one that I told you long time ago... a book where I am one of the featured author. I am now in a book Mama! Aren't you proud of me? I hope you are Mama. I wish I could share with you the excitement I am feeling right now in this book.

If only this one came while you were still here Mama... if only...

Take care of yourself Mama. I miss you.

I love you.

Edgar's intrams experience

Dear Mama,

Edgar came home early last Friday from school. It was their intrams, and like I told you before, he played in the sepak takraw. I asked him how was the game, he said they got third place. Well, at least they didn't get fourth which is the last. He said he'll be playing again next year and he'll make sure they'll win.

How are you Mama? You're birthday is next month. What do you want us to do on your birthday?

Tomorrow is the fiesta in Angeles City, I don't know why, but I told the kids that I would let them go to their Apo if they want to. I even told them I will accompany them. I hope I made the right decision Mama.

I really don't know what to say here Mama. I wish I was really talking to you. I miss you Mama.

Take care of yourself.

I love you.

That's all I want to tell Mama. Still not feeling well, although a lot better than before.

Take care of yourself Mama. I miss you.

Angel wants to have bangs

Dear Mama,

Angel have been bugging me lately, asking me if she could have bangs. I told her it's up to her, just be sure it's what she wants. The last time Mama, when she felt her hair was already long, she had it cut. When it was short, she said she wanted it long better.

How I wish she could discuss this things with you Mama. You would know better how to handle it. If only she still have you with her.

I think I should stop now Mama, before I go anywhere else. Take care of yourself Mama. I really miss you.

I love you Mama.

Angel said sorry

Dear Mama,

Finally! Angel said sorry as I scolded her this afternoon. She came home at around 6 PM Mama. I did not pick her up from school because she said they'll go to her classmate's house to practice their dance. I allowed her Mama because she said she'll be going home at around 4 PM.

Unfortunately, she wasn't home by 4. It was getting late and I was worried Mama, until finally she arrived at 6 PM. I talked to her and asked her why she was late. I was worried because there's a typhoon coming, and she, the smallest one wasn't home yet.

She said she was late because of the traffic, and that they ate at her classmate's house that's why they didn't leave early. I was mad. I just asked her to dress so we can have our dinner.

Afterwards, she came back to me Mama and said "sorry." She explained that she was really late because of the traffic. I believed her because it was raining. I was just happy that she finally said sorry Mama.

That's all for now Mama, I feel sleepy already. Take care of yourself Mama.

I miss you.

I love you.
