Cats and the kids

Dear Mama,

    Ralph left for work before 8:00 pm. I just received a message from him, he just arrived at the terminal and is already aboard their shuttle bus. He'll just wait a few minutes before the bus leaves, Mama. He's about to complete his first week in his new job. Tomorrow, Friday, will be their Christmas party, Mama. He's just in time for the company Christmas party.

    Edgar is not home yet. He is at the mall, Mama. He said he'll be looking for something to wear tomorrow. It will also be their company Christmas party tomorrow. They have a theme, that's why he's looking for something to wear, Mama. He mentioned it to me, but I forgot. I must be really getting old, Mama.

    Our Angel is already sleeping. She slept immediately after dinner, Mama. I hope she'll sleep straight until tomorrow morning. Oftentimes, when she sleeps early, she wakes up around midnight and will no longer sleep. She will then sleep during the day, Mama.

    Right now we have 4 cats inside the house, Mama - Otis, Lulu, Ranma, and Sabby. And there are some in the garage - Tabitha (the newest kitten), Dopel, Sandayme, Mhey-mhey, Cotton, Roca. Cotton's companion, and another 1 or 2 more who come occasionally. Aside from Tabitha, those in the garage usually come only feeding time. Tabitha, or Tabby, also leaves occasionally, but stays mostly in the garage.

    We also have lost a lot of kittens, Mama. They all have crossed the rainbow bridge. Lulu's siblings - Dalma, and Lily. Otis' siblings - Garfield, Alice, and one black kitten we were not able to name. Sabby's babies - Max and 1 more with no name. And of course, the lone kitten - Rocky. They all crossed the rainbow bridge within a span of less than 2 months, Mama. Baron, Lulu's brother, was adopted, and the first cat we had, OG has been missing for almost a month now, Mama.

    I just want to tell you about the cats, because I don't know what to say, Mama.

    Christmas is almost here. I don't know what to plan, Mama. I received our 13th month and used them all to pay for my debts, and they were still not enough.

    Anyway, I think I'll stop here, Mama. Hoping things will get better for us. Please pray for the health and safety of our children. Please pray for my peace.

    I miss you, Mama.

    I love you.
