Dear Tim,
Congratulations on completing another year on
this
planet! I really appreciate the invite to your birthday celebration party
and I bet the party
yesterday was a lot of fun, especially since it was for you. I apologise for not being able to make it because I had to take my mom to the emergency room after she slipped and fell in the bathroom in the evening.
I was at the hospital all night and by the time I got home after the hospital cleared her for discharge, it was 1AM and I was exhausted. I forgot to tell you since
the Correct word choice
that
party
completely slipped my mind as I was overwhelmed with stress regarding my mom's well-being.
I want to make it up to you for missing the party
yesterday and would like to take you out for drinks this
weekend! If you like, we can invite the whole crew, go bar hopping on Grove Street and have a blast!
Let me know if the plan works for you and I will invite the rest of the gang.
Your's faithfully
,
