I did not go!

I did not go to school to attend that seminar, last Monday. Although I thought and decided on going last Sunday night, something happened on the later hours of Sunday night: my sister suddenly complained of abdominal fullness, unable to pass out flatus, and cannot belch out air. I gave her medicines to no avail. I advised her to take sips of warm water. I thought if she gets better in the morning of Monday, I can go to school. She did not, so I messaged our program coordinator that I cannot go. I also made a statement that if my not attending will put me to the backseat of having work load, I will accept that. “Anyway, I am about to retire this year,''was what I also remarked. The very first statement of response I glanced on my phone was:” I am so disappointed…” ;what I did was, I did not read the whole response, and I accompanied my sister for a traditional treatment (massage). Lunch time, my sister told me to open my messenger. Then I read her (PC) whole response. She said,” I am so disappointed because some of the CI’s did not send me notice if they come or not. Thanks, Ma’am Ingrid for your message. Ma’am AUA and Ma’am G who I expect to attend, did not even send me their reasons why they cannot attend”. Then she messaged me, “Ma’am, you have 4 duty days for next semester”. I thanked her for that. Other messages were, she knows I might not attend because of my heart condition, and she did not want me to be tired/exhausted going to the research conference room. I believe proper communication is good in order for us to have better understanding with each other.
