But I never made it past that phone call
What does 'but I never made it past that phone call' mean?
139
00:10:13,363 --> 00:10:15,447
This is her birthday?
140
00:10:18,618 --> 00:10:20,786
Her birthday was always like--
141
00:10:20,954 --> 00:10:23,747
like a week long affair.
142
00:10:23,915 --> 00:10:27,167
But I somehow always missed it.
143
00:10:27,335 --> 00:10:29,295
I was away at college
144
00:10:29,462 --> 00:10:32,006
or too busy for kid's parties.
145
00:10:32,173 --> 00:10:35,592
She'd call all excited.
146
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:39,138
I always said that I'd make it home
147
00:10:39,306 --> 00:10:42,308
and I really always meant to,
148
00:10:42,475 --> 00:10:46,770
but I never made it
past that phone call.

Tara2 I never made it past that phone call I never followed through on my promise on the phone to go home for her birthday. I made a promise, then I broke the promise. I did not go any farther than to make the promise.
