Janet Mbugua’s reflection after missing son’s event
Acknowledging the truth that people are sometimes presented with situations in which they need to juggle two or more things, she shared how she missed the chance to watch her son compete.
Missing the special moment left her with feelings of guilt, which she embraced and unpacked in an insightful statement on her social media platforms.
