2 / 2 People Whose Realities Suddenly Collapsed Like a House of Cards

walking to me with 2 policemen, I froze in shock when I found out she had called the police in panic, thinking I had taken her baby. Turns out she was so tired she had forgotten where she had handed him over. She had been searching in Gate 16 and couldn’t find us. In fact,

I was standing in Gate 12 the whole time without moving an inch. She burst into tears, apologized, and thanked me over and over for looking after her son. I smiled and told her I was a mother too, and I understood how exhausting it can all be. But for a few seconds, I was truly scared.
