I'm a government employee, A single parent and a widow man...My family was a victim of typhoon last December 17, 2011 including my wife and my 2 kids...Since that date I was not able to overcome all trials in life infact it is hard for me to smile infront of people around me. I'm trying to search this site perhaps it could help and answer my problem..I'm too much concern with my present work,,Last August 29, 2012. I recieved a call from my cousin that my only daughter was rush to hospital due to high grade fever... here comes I report it immediately to my supevisor giving me an assurance that i need to care first my daughter before returning for work...I'm thinking that the assurance given by my supervisor is true. Suddenly I was shock and surprised the rumors that I have a memo saying that I AWOL from work..regarding these matter, in my whole months of September I admit, I didn't returned early for work due to health condition for my daughter...She is twice hospitalized and I was financially drained today...I hope u will review my letter regarding this matter...I hope I recieve a best advice from you Sir that can convince my Managers to allowing and forgiving me chance to stay in the company....I need ur help so badly....Thank you...Godbless
