Tami Norton was about to graduate as a senior from Thunder Ridge High School in Colorado, and she was understandably excited, reported Inspired on the 3rd of May 2018.

Her whole family and her friends would be there to witness the crowning moment of her academic career thus far, and afterward, they would all celebrate together.

Unbeknownst to Tami, her father Tim Norton was planning a special surprise for her, something that would make the day even more special and noteworthy.

On the fateful day, Tami's father called her out into the garden, and there on the front lawn was a giant gift. It was a huge box, wrapped in shiny blue paper. Tami couldn't believe her eyes: The box was bigger than she was.

“She was sad that her sister wasn’t going to be able to make it to her party. (***) They’ve always been very close.”

Her family and friends all came out to watch her open her present, and they were calling out suggestions and warnings, telling her to be careful because the contents were fragile.

Finally, Tami managed to get the wrapping off, and a refrigerator-sized closed box was revealed. Calling on every iota of her strength, the teenager opened the box.
