Dear Mama,
It's Angel's birthday tomorrow, Mama. She'll be 23 tomorrow. Our baby is already a lady, Mama. She is a big girl now. Unfortunately, we won't be able to celebrate it, Mama. Angel won't be having a birthday celebration this year. At least not with Ralph and I.
That is because we are in the hospital right now. Since Friday evening, actually. I'm sorry, Mama. I failed you again. I was not able to take care of our children, and I allowed them to get sick. I'm really sorry.
If only you were here, things like this will not happen. I'm sorry, Mama. Please make Ralph well.
Daddy
