Angel had fever last night

Dear Mama,

Angel had fever last night, I gave her paracetamol. She seems to be fine now, they are having their breakfast. I told her to take paracetamol again after breakfast. I don't understand why she had fever Mama, she was just fine yesterday afternoon, but after taking a nap at around 5pm, she was weak when I woke her up at around 6:30 for dinner. I hope she'll get well now.

But what I'm really worried about today Mama, is that today is month-end and my check is due again. My boss didn't give the cash advance I was requesting, and my creditor isn't answering me yet regarding my request for an extension of the check until Tuesday next week.

That means I need to produce the money today Mama. My boss will be giving me my salary, and a little cash advance, but not the full amount I need to pay for the amount due. I'm still short by P3,000 I hope I can find it today Mama.

Well, I really don't have anything more to say now. I'm sorry for bothering you with my financial problems Mama. Please help me take care of Angel so that she won't get fever again.

Take care of yourself Mama.

I miss you.

I love you.

A day after the swimming

Dear Mama,

The children are still asleep, it's only 4:31 AM here. I was meaning to write you last night, but my internet was not cooperating. I really needed to have my computer reformatted Mama.

Anyway, Angel and Edgar had fun yesterday, although I have to cut it short because we have to go home early. But they're not really complaining Mama, I'm pretty sure they had a good time. I also played with them on the pool, it's unfortunate though that we don't have pictures together, but I was able to take some pictures of them on the pool Mama.

Ralph, from the looks of it, had a good time too in their outreach Mama. For one, he said there were plenty of food, he didn't eat dinner at home anymore last night. He didn't tell us about the other details though Mama, only food. So typical of Ralph.

As for me, here I am, blogging as early as 4:00AM to make up for the lost time last night. I will upload the pictures in multiply later Mama, hope you can see them.

'til my next letter Mama. Take care of yourself.

I miss you Mama. I love you.

Today is Familia swimming day

Dear Mama,

Today, the Familia will have the 'annual swimming family-day activity' and the kids are excited, especially Angel. I really don't want to go Mama, because if you remember last year, they all got sick after the 'swimming day.'

But Angel promised me that she will stop once I ask her, and I don't really want her to miss childhood fun because of 'being afraid' I just need to take really good care of her I guess. She needs to have fun while she's still young. I know you will agree Mama.

What really saddens me this time Mama is that Ralph won't be coming with us. He will have his outreach with the Immaculate Heart Community and he doesn't want to be absent. Now, as much as I want him to be with us, that is really a worthwhile activity for him to be involved in. I guess, I just have to accept the fact that he now have his own 'community' besides his family.

I just wish he'll give more priority to his family though. We're such a small family, and you know I don't want missing any of our kids. Maybe some other time, he would choose us.

Anyway, that's all I got to say now Mama. Help me watch over Angel as she enjoys swimming today.

Take care of yourself Mama. I miss you.

I love you.

Trying to get by

Dear Mama,

How are you? I really don't have any new things to say to you today Mama, I just wanted to talk you. How I really wish I could.

It's 1:19 AM and the kids are all sleeping, while I'm still here in front of my computer. I am not really doing anything 'enterprising' as there aren't really anything on the net that can earn me income today.

I'm just fixing my blogs Mama, updating some, and creating new ones. Angel said she wants to have a blog. I said I will create her a blog next week. I'm not sure though if she can really do it Mama.

We played under the rain today Mama, although it was only Angel and I. Ralph and Edgar took the opportunity to use this computer and play on the internet, while I was playing with Angel under the rain.

It's less than 3 weeks 'til my birthday Mama. But we don't really celebrate it, as it's not really important. I only wish that I will dream of you, that would be a perfect birthday gift for me.

That's all I can say now Mama. I really would love to say a lots of things, but you know I'll just be whining, so I better just keep them to myself.

Take of yourself now Mama. I miss you.

I love you.

Playing in the rain

Dear Mama,

It rained so hard this afternoon. I just woke up from the afternoon nap then, so I decided to take a bath under the rain. Angel asked me if she can take bath in the rain too, I allowed her since we won't be staying under the rain long.

Ralph also joined us. I was asking Edgar to join us but he didn't want to. You know him, always choosing a different option. So it's just the three of us - Ralph, Angel and me. We were playing and jumping under heavy rain. We were having so much fun Mama, especially Angel who have been wanting to play under the rain for so long.

But Ralph went inside early because he said he's already getting cold. Angel and I stayed under the rain for about 10 to 15 minutes more. After that I told Angel to stop, even though we're still enjoying the rain. I'm afraid she'll catch fever if we stayed longer Mama.

Well, she's fine. They are all sleeping now Mama. Just want to tell you how much fun we had under the rain. Wish you were here with us.

Take care of yourself Mama. I miss you.

I love you.

Visita Iglesia, children's vacation

Dear Mama,

I was planning to write you right after we finished our Visita Iglesia last Thursday Mama, unfortunately we came home at almost 12 midnight and we were already tired because of too much traffic then.

Then I became occupied with writing that I wasn't able to write again on Good Friday and even this morning.

Anyway, the children are already sleeping now Mama. Last Thursday, our Visita Iglesia was not as smooth as last year because of too much traffic and the kids are always having an argument. But they like to go on continuing this practice.

We arrive home I think at around 11:50PM or something. We were able to visit 7 churches here in Angeles City. How I wish you were here with us Mama.

Anyway, that's all I want to say right now.

I remembered, I dreamt of you yesterday. Unfortunately, it wasn't quite a happy dream that's why I don't want to talk about it.

I miss you so much Mama. Take care of yourself.

I love you.

MaundyThursday

Dear Mama,

Today is Maundy Thursday, and the children are looking forward to another Visita Iglesia tonight. We were able to start that last year Mama, I hope I can continue this tradition with them.

Although, this family activity would have been much happier for us if you were here.

I'm sorry, here I go again. I didn't mean to say that, I know it won't be possible. I just thought of, why we weren't able to do it when you were still here. We could have started the tradition then,

Anyway, it's only 7AM and the kids are still sleeping Mama. I have no plans of waking them, I'll let them sleep for a while.

Take care of yourself Mama.

I miss you

I love you.


Daddy

Wanting to be with you sooner...

Dear Mama,

I hope I can prepare everything for the kids, so I can be with you sooner.

I'm tired Mama. I miss you.

Vacation time

Dear Mama,

It's summer vacation for the kids now and they are here at home all day. They don't do anything except rest, read, and play in the computers. Of course, they also do house chores. Ralph is cooking, while Edgar does the sweeping.

Angel also has a new pet dog, but I think I already told you about that Mama. Aside from that, nothing really I can say now. I wasn't able to enroll her to the tae kwon do lesson.

Take care of yourself Mama. I miss you.

I love you.
