A few years ago, I graduated from school, a day I had eagerly anticipated. The ceremony was filled with excitement: students in caps and gowns, families cheering, and cameras flashing. However, my joy turned to anxiety as I scanned the crowd for my parents, who were nowhere to be seen.
As I received my diploma, my heart sank seeing no familiar faces. After the ceremony, I checked my phone and found a message from my mom: “Sorry, we couldn’t make it. Something came up with your stepsister. We’ll celebrate later. Congrats!”
The excuse? My stepsister Iris had a broken nail and threw a tantrum, demanding to go to a salon. I was stunned and heartbroken. My prom date, Justin, and his family comforted me, including me in their celebration.
When I confronted my parents, my mom’s explanation left me speechless. “Iris broke a nail and was inconsolable,” she said. Realizing their skewed priorities, I decided to leave and stayed with Justin’s family, who supported me.
Years later, at my college graduation, history repeated itself. My parents missed it because Iris wanted a specific cake, and they got stuck in traffic. Despite the hurt, I realized my worth isn’t defined by their actions.
Justin and his family became my support system. Their unconditional love helped me move forward, showing that true family is defined by those who stand by you
Researchers are astounded when they see what’s inside a long-lost plane that was recently discovered.
In a remote area of Alaska, researcher Philip responded to a mysterious anonymous letter and set out on a quest to learn the truth about Flight 66, a jet said to have disappeared en way to Japan.
Via hints and local lore, he was guided to a hilly region where the plane’s wreckage might be seen.
The true surprise, though, was what was inside: gold-filled containers, a single bullet that had been squashed, and an oddly vacant cockpit. The mysterious tip-off source behind this revelation remained unidentified even while authorities took action.
While there are still many unanswered questions, Philip’s amazing discovery was made famous in a best-selling book. Although being uncovered, Flight 66 still holds a lot of mysteries, particularly in regards to the mysterious informant.
