Dear Mama,

It's 4 a.m. now, I was supposed to run today but it looks like I cannot do it. I feel worse, Mama. My cough has worsen and I feel cold. My lower back still aches. I wish you're here, Mama.

Daddy

Dear Mama,

I am not feeling well right now. I've been taking medicines and drinking lots of water since yesterday, Mama. My lower back aches too. I hope I won't get sick. Wish you were here, I know I will feel better if I could just embrace you.

Angel came home safe from their field trip last night. Although I was not able to talk to her yet because I was already sleeping. 

I really do not have much to say right now, Mama. I just wish I can hold your hands. I'm really missing you, Mama.

I love you.

Daddy

Dear Mama,

Good morning. It's 4:13 a.m., Angel is not home. She stayed at her classmate's home last night. They are having a field trip today and said they must be at the meeting place by 3:30 a.m. They must be on their way to Enchanted Kingdom now, Mama.

Ralph is here, I don't know what time he came because I was half asleep then, but I think it was already past midnight. 

I will be out for a run in a while, Mama. Today is a holiday and we do not have work.

Take care of yourself, Mama. I miss you.

I love you, Mama.

Daddy

Dear Mama,

Edgar is at school now. He said he is okay. I just arrived  home from work. I've been calling him on phone every now then to check on him while I'm at the office. He said he's fine. I hope he won't get sick anymore. 

Angel is still not here. She'll be out of school by 6:30 p.m. so she'll be here around 7 p.m. It's really often that I'm finding myself alone at home lately, Mama. Sometimes, even at weekends. I think I'm getting used to it. I know this is how it will be in the days to come.

Well, I've really nothing much to say, Mama. Please continue helping me in taking care of our kids. I miss you, Mama.

 I love you.

Daddy

Dear Mama,

Edgar is still sick. He is much better now that he was this morning, but he is still sick. He still has a slight fever, Mama. He wants to go to school tomorrow. I hope he will be okay tomorrow morning.

If only you were here, Mama.

I miss you.

I love you.

Daddy

Dear Mama,

I did not go to work today, Edgar has fever. I took his temperature and it registered 38.3 on the thermometer. I'm sorry, Mama. I was not able to take good care of our son. He was fine yesterday, but as I was about to wake him up this morning after I took a bath, I felt his forehead and he was hot. I immediately informed our office. I'm sorry, Mama. I could have done something so that he won't get sick.

Please help me make him well, Mama.

Daddy

Dear Mama,

I will be sleeping in while, just finished ironing the kids' uniforms. Tomorrow's the start of another week.

I just wanted to say good night to you. I wish you will visit me in my dreams. Good night, Mama. I miss you.

I love you.


Daddy

Dear Mama,

Angel and I was finally able to have the chance yesterday, we went to La Pieta and did brisk walking. I was not able to run because she said she would just walk and I cannot leave her. But it's okay, at least it's a start for her. Next time maybe she would run even for just short distances. She said she would also like to go to the gym with me sometime.

I also attended the meeting of the Knights of Columbus yesterday and was admitted as a First Degree member. I am still not sure if I will pursue my membership, but I am thinking that I do need to join some sort of community, somehow. Today would be their monthly meeting, I am not sure if I can catch up because I promised Angel we would go to the wet market today. I also do not have a plain white polo that is required to be worn during meetings, I am not sure if it's okay to wear any white polo with design, at least just for this time.

Edgar seems to be not feeling well, Mama. He seems to be coughing every now and then. He said it might be because of all those practices during the past few weeks for the choral competition. He asked me to buy him oranges, he said it soothes his throat whenever he eats some. I hope he will feel better soon.

I haven't heard from Ralph since he last went home. He might be busy, Mama. I'm not sure if he'll be here next weekend. Most probably, he will might go home next month, which is the La Naval fiesta. I'm still not sure, Mama.

Sorry for another lengthy letter, Mama. I miss having conversations like this with you. I miss you, Mama.

I love you.

Daddy
