My Parents Didn’t Show up for My School Graduation — Their Excuse Is Ridiculous
By Han tt – 03/06/2024
High school graduation is a momentous occasion that we all look forward to. It is an experience shared with those we care about the most since it represents a chapter in our lives that we will always treasure as a cherished memory.
Britt, a young woman, described her day as an emotional roller coaster. She was very proud of herself for graduating high school, but her heart was hammering with the fear that her mother and stepfather would not show up. She hoped to recognize familiar faces among the camera flashes and bustle.
As she was sitting next to her classmates, she kept looking around. “They’re probably running late,” she tried to convince herself. “Or maybe stuck in traffic. They’ll be here any minute.”
As names were called, Britt glanced around, and when it was finally her turn to walk up to the stage, she put a smile on her face. With the diploma in her hand, Britt prayed to see her mom smiling and her step-dad showing her thumbs up, but that didn’t happen. They were nowhere to be seen.
