Dear Mama,
Yesterday, Sunday, the kids and I went to Marquee Mall. We spent the afternoon there, Mama. We bought some items - personal items for the kids, and Ralph also bought 1 gift for his godson for Christmas. Then we had our dinner there.
After dinner, Angel and I went to buy a birthday cake for you, Mama. While Ralph and Edgar went ahead to the coffee shop. Angel and I proceeded to the coffee shop after buying the cake, Mama. We stayed there for a while, before we went home.
Of course, as we reached home, we sang happy birthday for you, Mama. Your birthday won't be complete without a birthday cake and a birthday song. However, since we were already full last night, we did not eat anymore. We just saved the cake for tonight, and ate some after dinner.
It's Ralph's first day at work tonight, Mama. He's on his way now, he left while I still writing this letter. He took a Grab car because he is still wasn't sure where their shuttle will be. Hopefully, tomorrow he'll be able to take the shuttle and save on expenses. He'll be checking out tomorrow at 6 a.m., Mama. I hope he won't fall asleep at work tonight. It's been a while since he worked on nightshift, although he sometimes sleep late, Mama.
This afternoon, while I was hanging the laundry, our neighbor knocked on our gate, Mama. They gave us a cake. That's why we have 2 cakes now - your birthday cake and the cake they gave us. I was surprised, Mama. Because it's the first time a neighbor here gave us something, after more than 15 years of living here. They are the newest tenants in the apartment in front of us, Mama. So, I guess that tells something.
Anyway, I'm waiting for Ralph's message that he has reached his destination. I asked him to tell me once he reached their office so I know he made it safely, Mama.
That will be all for now, Mama. Until my next letter. Please pray for my peace.
I miss you, Mama.
I love you.
Daddy
