The Quiet Wins No One Sees
A moment from my life
It was late.
The kids were asleep.
My phone lit up with a message that was unfair and incomplete.
I had the facts. I had the history. I had every reason to respond.
I stood there for a minute with my phone in my hand, already drafting the reply in my head. The kind of reply that would feel good for about ninety seconds and then live forever.
