Family Snaps Picture When Mom Graduates. 17 Years Later, They Recreate The Same Exact Photo

Every time graduation season rolls around, students strive to make the most of it.

Some plan unbelievable graduation photo shoots, others make videos they'll cherish for a lifetime, while a few create new and inspiring traditions.

For Madeleine Tarin, her graduation celebration was definitely the latter.

Receiving a diploma is a huge moment for any teen. Madeleine was just a baby when her mom graduated high school in the year 2000.

17 years later, it was Madeleine's turn to receive her diploma and think about the future. Instead of focusing on herself during her big day, she joined her mom and dad and made the moment about all three of them.

She decided to honor her mom's graduation the same day by taking a very special photo that her entire family — and now the internet — will cherish for years and years to come.
