I sat watching the clock on the wall, the seconds ticking away, turning into minutes. Finally I admitted to myself, she wasn’t going to come. I don’t know why I kept on putting myself through it, every time I organised something with my Mom, she let me down. We were supposed to be having lunch together, it had been organised for a week!
It wasn’t as if she even came up with good excuses, often she would just say she forgot! It hurt me that she didn’t make an effort to spend time with me.
“I’ll just give her five more minutes.” I thought to myself.
My phone buzzed, it was a message from Mom
“Jasmine, somethings come up, can’t make lunch today.”
That was it, no sorry! No ‘Love Mom’!
In fact I don’t think my Mom had ever said that she loved me.
