Graduation day should be Michelle’s happiest moment, but the celebrations take a nasty turn after she asks for a photo with her biological parents. Michelle’s stepmother flies into a jealous rage and destroys a treasured possession. Should Michelle forgive her?
Every high school student dreams of graduation day, right? I was no different. After years of sleepless nights, endless exams, and countless cups of coffee, I was pumped to finally take my first steps into adulthood.
I never expected one stupid photo would ruin everything.
Mom was the first to arrive at the ceremony, carrying a huge bunch of pink peonies, my favorite flowers.
“OMG, Mom! You shouldn’t have,” I said, already dipping my head to inhale the sweet scent of the bouquet.
“Nonsense. You’ve worked hard to get here and deserve to be spoiled, Michelle,” she replied.
I pulled my mom into a huge hug. That’s when I noticed my dad and stepmom approaching. Immediately, my stomach started churning.
Mom and Dad divorced when I was pretty young, and he married Claire about a year later. And I was okay with it. Both my parents made sure I felt loved, and I liked Claire… most of the time, anyway.
The only problem is Claire and Mom don’t get along at all. Claire is always trying to one-up Mom, or she gets clingy with Dad. It’s seriously awkward.
But this was MY big day, and they’re all adults… there was no way they’d ruin this for me, right?
“Hey, champ!” Dad called out as he and Claire approached. “Ready to graduate?”
“Absolutely, Dad,” I replied, trying to keep things light and positive as I went to give him a hug.
“Congratulations, Michelle. We’re so proud of you,” Claire said, her smile tight.
“Thanks, Claire,” I responded, “It means so much to have all of you here to celebrate with me.”
“That’s what family is for,” Mom chimed in.
At the time, I didn’t think much of the dark look that passed over Claire’s face as she glanced at Mom.
The graduation ceremony was a blur of excitement and emotion. Walking across that stage felt surreal, a dream realized. When it was all over, we gathered outside for photos.
That’s when everything exploded.
“Dad, Mom, can we take a picture together? Just the three of us?” I asked.
Claire’s eyes narrowed instantly.
“Why do you want a picture with him and his ex-wife? It’s disrespectful to our marriage,” she snapped, her voice sharp and biting.
My heart sank. I looked at Claire’s furious expression as my thoughts whirred. Why was this something I needed to explain?
Mom, ever the peacemaker, stepped in. “Michelle just wants a picture with her biological parents. It’s her special day. Let’s try to make it about her happiness.”
Claire’s face twisted with anger. “No, this is ridiculous! I won’t stand for it. My husband shouldn’t be in a picture with his ex-wife.”
I felt the tears welling up.
Incredible creation at 90 This old man amazed the world by building his own Hobbit house
When the elderly man made this decision, people laughed at him! He constructed a comfortable Hobbit home for himself at the age of 90. See the article for incredible pictures and a complete video of the outcome.
After reading his favorite book, “The Hobbit,” by J.R.R. Tolkien, a creative man made the decision to construct the house from the novel for himself.
Once he retired, he gave himself the task of having a distinctive house on his plot that would resemble a hobbit house from a fairy tale.
One issue exists, though: a person taller than 160 cm will not feel at ease in such a home. However, it turned out that the 90-year-old owner of the hobbit house was not a particularly tall man, and the outcome was perfect for him.
Today, visitors from many nations frequently stop by and occasionally even stay at his distinctive home.
The house has a distinctive door that resembles the door of the hobbit house in the movie. It is constructed of stone and wood. Everything about the interior, including the toilet, is constructed to match the movie’s style.
An open fireplace provides heat for the entire house. The interior and exterior of the house will be admired by all for their elegance and comfort. The owner claims that living in his own hobbit house makes him happy and feels fantastic.
The man showed everyone that anyone can achieve their goals if they truly want them.
This man is now content in his hobbit home after finally realizing his dream of living in a fairytale.
