Belated happy anniversary, Mama!

 Dear Mama,

    Belated happy anniversary! 

    The kids and I went out to eat last Friday to celebrate the anniversary of the day you said yes and became my girlfriend. I still remember how hesitant you were then, and I knew that the  reason you said say was just to help me moved on, and to make sure you'd be able to get home safe then.

    Thank you, Mama. that was the only opportunity I needed. And I was lucky you appreciated all my efforts then. Happy anniversary again, Mama.

    I really don't know what to say right now, I mean without complaining, that is haha... But I'm trying my best, Mama. I know, the kids are trying their best, too.

    I hope someday things will get better for all of us, and will make you really proud.

    I miss you, Mama.

    I love you.

Almost 55

Dear Mama,

    On Monday, I will be celebrating my 55th birthday. That's just 2 days from now. I really don't have anything planned, Mama. But I took a leave of absence from work on Monday, maybe I'll just stay home and do nothing like I always do.

    Before that, I would like to tell you about our last weekend, Mama. We had our Toastmasters District Convention in Manila. Angel stayed with me, although she just stayed in the hotel while I attended our 3-day event. Angel went with me on the first day, while Ralph and Edgar came on Sunday because they had to attend the birthday of their niece on Saturday. We went home last Monday, May 1st, Mama.

    Anyway, back to my birthday. As I've mentioned, I really don't have any plan, Mama. I even don't have anything in mind - no gift, no event, no nothing! I just wish we could continue living in a peaceful environment. Unfortunately, that may not be the case, Mama. Since the construction on the grill beside us might be finished anytime this month. I hope it won't be too noisy.

    That will be all for now, Mama. I don't really have anything to look forward to right now.

    I miss you, Mama. I love you.
