My Stepmom Gave Me a Funeral Urn for My 17th Birthday — I Wish That Were a Joke

Posted on June 30, 2025 By author author No Comments on My Stepmom Gave Me a Funeral Urn for My 17th Birthday — I Wish That Were a Joke

Just before her 17th birthday, Lila expected little from her stepmom Monica—maybe a card, maybe cold pancakes. But instead, Monica handed her a pink funerary urn, smirking as she called it “symbolic.” The real blow came moments later: Lila’s college fund had been used to start Monica’s dream hair salon. It felt like her future had been casually traded away.

Crushed, Lila ran to her room and shut the door, trying to hold back tears. Her dad had always said that money was hers, a promise he’d repeated for years. Now it felt like both he and Monica had betrayed her. The urn sat on her desk, a twisted reminder of all she’d lost.

A few days later, Monica left her a note: “Meet me at the salon. No questions.” Lila almost threw it out but went, curiosity winning over anger. What she found wasn’t scorn—it was a surprise. A new sign read: Dream Cuts: A Scholarship Fund in Honor of Sarah. Her late mom.

Turns out, the college fund was untouched. The urn? Just a poorly planned metaphor. Monica had used her own money to open the salon, which would now help fund Lila’s future—and others’. That ridiculous pink urn eventually found a new purpose too: holding a peace lily and reminding Lila that even from the strangest gifts, something good can bloom.
