Ralph is losing hope, too

Dear Mama,

Ralph is still getting no calls from the company that was supposed to hire him, and there are also no updates from the others he has applied to. I can sense he is losing hope, too Mama. I'm trying my best to encourage him, and I always tell him that they will call soon. Although, at the back of my mind I am having doubts, too. I pray things will get better for him, and all of us, too.

Please guide us, Mama. And please help me how to handle this anxiety that's bugging me everyday.

If only you are still here, Mama.

Daddy

Do you think they're ready?

Dear Mama

I just want to give you some update. Ralph still has no work, although the company that was supposed to hire him already called and said they're just waiting for the request to be signed, the latest of which will be July 1. That will be tomorrow. I hope it's true and Ralph will start soon.

Edgar is already reporting daily to work now, it seems everything's normal to them except that they really are not doing anything much now according to him. I'm not sure if he likes his current job. He has complaints, but he also is looking forward to getting bigger responsibilities because he thinks those above him are not really doing their job. Angel is still at home. She cannot go out yet because of the lockdown. So, she's just staying home.

Do you think the kids are ready, Mama? Will they be able to manage on their own if suddenly I am gone? Sorry, I know I'm being selfish again. It's just that I'm too tired of all these anxieties inside me, Mama. I don't know how much longer I can hold on.

I'm sorry, Mama. Let's forget what I said.

Please pray for our children.

I miss you, Mama.

I love you.

Daddy

Edgar is here

Dear Mama

Edgar is already home. He came home about 2 weeks ago, about the time when Angeles City was converted to MGCQ. He arrived at around 4 a.m. and had less than a week's rest before they were asked to report back to work.

On their first day, they had rapid testing. I was thankful when the result of his test was negative, Mama. Although Masbate was COVID-free as Edgar had told me, they traveled all the way from there to Angeles City. Now, they are reporting back to work. Everyday I always remind him to always take extra precautions. It is still not really safe to go out, Mama but there's nothing we can do. 

Ralph is still in Pasig. He still has no work, and hasn't received his last pay from his former company. The company that was supposed to hire him would send a message just to tell him there is no update yet, and they would understand if he decides to seek opportunity elsewhere. Why are they so unprofessional, Mama? Why can't they tell him directly if they will no longer be getting him?

Right now, he is just waiting for the last pay. I told him once he got it, he can just go back home and seek opportunity here. I hope there will be no problem in his going home.

We are still working from home, although we might go back to the office in about 2 weeks, Mama. So, Angel will be left alone at home then. She is still not working, although she says she is preparing for something. I don't know.

I am just trying to hold on, Mama. For the kids, I have to. But I'm sure you know I wanted to give up. Unfortunately, I can't. That would be too selfish of me.

But I'm tired, Mama.

Daddy

P.S. I love you and I miss you. 

Please help Ralph, Mama

Dear Mama,

It's already the second day of June and Ralph still has no update from the company that was supposed to hire him. They already told him last month that he passed and he will be called soon on when he'll be starting. He told them he will be available to start on the first week of June. He already submitted some pre-employment requirements.

I know Ralph has a lot of anxieties right now, Mama. He doesn't know the status of his employment, and every time he would follow up on them, they won't even reply. The last message he got from them was, "There is still no update. Will call you once there is an update."

Please help Ralph, Mama. He is alone there in their dorm, and basically living on very little funds he was able to save. His last pay from his previous company is still on hold and he doesn't know when he'll be receiving them. Plus, he paying the house that he bought. He never expected his previous company to drop him just like that, amid the pandemic situation.

Please help him, Mama.

Daddy
