Daughter Surprises Mom With Cap and Gown She Didn't Get to Wear Over 40 Years Ago:
When Miranda Turner graduated from [Catholic] law school in May, she had a special surprise for her beloved mom.
On the day after Mother's Day, Turner, along with her older brother and sister, surprised their mother Pamela Martin-Turner with the doctoral tam and gown she never got to wear on the occasion of her own law school graduation 42 years ago.
Turner, 27, documented the surprise in a now-viral Instagram reel, showing her mom opening a delivery box containing the black and purple regalia of The George Washington University Law School, from which her mom graduated in 1982.
Martin-Tuner quickly grows emotional in the video. "This is the best thing ever," she says, after seeing herself wearing the cap and gown in the mirror.
