&lt;p&gt;I, Jocelyn a. romero,nurse II at rcb2 5th flr, would like to apologise for being absent from Feb. 20-March 31 because of a family medical problem.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I was very affected the day I got the news from my other sibling that my dearest sister was&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;in a very delicate condition in the intensive care unit, where she had been rushed due &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;to pneumonia and diabetes complications.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Because of her unstable medical condition, I needed to stay at home to check&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;up her status from time to time to keep my sanity.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I am asking for your understanding regarding why I&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;took a long leave. I know deep in your heart if you were in my shoes you would have done the same.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Respectfully&amp;nbsp; Yours,&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
