five minutes late
a between us guide
five minutes late
you were on time. she still felt left.
the guilt shows up in the smallest gaps. not the big absences, the ones you'd expect to sting. five minutes. someone else's mum walked in first, and that was the whole scoreboard for the day.
you know, logically, you didn't fail her. she knows it too, an hour later. in the moment, neither of you believed it.
try thisshe's not measuring the minutes. she's measuring whether she mattered enough to be first. you can't always be first. you can always say it plainly: "you were the one I was thinking about the whole drive here."
we're finding 1000 mums who show up anyway. between us, coming. link below if you're one.
