Dear Mama,
I'm sorry for not writing to you immediately. As you know by now, a lot of thing have happened recently. Probably, Blez is already with you now there in heaven, Mama. She went home the day after my last letter to you. She was finally able to rest, Mama. She's been battling with cancer for more than 4 years. It's just sad that her 2 children are still so small. I believe, Gab is only 8 or 7, while Heaven Grace is 6 years old.
After that, I had my public performance in Camalig where I sang 3 of my original compositions, Mama. I hope you won't mind I shared the song Smile for Me which I wrote for you. Unfortunately, I do not have good singing voice, so I'm not sure if my songs passed the audience's standards. Good thing none of my fellow Toastmasters came to watch, which was no surprise really, Mama. Ralph came to support me. Edgar wasn't able to come because she was looking after Angel who was preparing to go to work then.
Speaking of Edgar, he applied for another company and he already passed. They already gave him a contract. It was a good thing he did not accept it. I advised him not to, or at least think about it, Mama. Because the very small increase from his current pay is not worth the trade off - starting again, and work on Saturdays. Although I left the final decision to him. He is now thinking of working in Canada. He actually have contacted an agency already. I advised him to reach out to Ate Let or Julius before proceeding, so he will get better advice.
Angel is still working in the call center. I gave her an announcement of an opening in another company, but she said she will stay with her current work for now. Ralph is still in the company he transferred to last April. He is still adjusting, I believe. His gout has become semi-permanent right now, Mama. I'm getting worried about it. Hopefully, he will have it checked and have it worked out.
I guess that will be all for now, Mama.
I miss you. I love you.
Daddy
