One time when I became a patrol for my school I got a medal from the chief of police, the mayor and multiple police officers were there, all my other friends we're there to bc they also became a patrol, Everyone's family members came.. Grandparents, aunts, uncles, moms, dads, etc. But not mine, Nobody came for me, I was on the stage, With my medal, Looking around trying to see if they came.. Turns out in my "moms" mind that was important, she texted a friend that was there and told her to take a picture of me.. How was it not important if I was on the news, the mayor and police department were there..
