My Parents Didn’t Show up for My School Graduation — Their Excuse Is Ridiculous

The momentous occasion of high school graduation is something that we all look forward to. We want to spend this unique period in our life with the individuals that mean the most to us.

Britt, the young woman, described her graduation day as an emotional roller coaster. She felt proud of herself for finishing high school, but she was also concerned that her mother and stepfather might not be present. She peered around the crowd in anticipation of seeing familiar faces between the lights of the cameras and the excitement.

She sat among her peers and continued to glance around. She told herself, “Looks like they’re running late.” Maybe stuck in traffic. They will soon make their appearance.

When it was finally her turn to take the stage, Britt glanced around as names were called. With a broad smile, she held her certificate, wanting to see her mother’s happy smile and her stepdad’s applause. But they were nowhere to be seen.

She reasoned that “they must be here somewhere” as she went around. Finally, realizing they were most likely not going to arrive, Britt checked her phone. “We’re sorry we couldn’t make it,” the note added. Something happened to your stepsister. Later, we will celebrate. Best wishes!

 

Britt was in disbelief. Besides her graduation, what could it be that would matter more? All she wanted to do was get home and find out what had occurred since she was so angry and scared.
