The image macro was a good hint of that, but I felt like ending on a lighter note anyway. Maybe the challenge of writing too.

It was mostly a joke.

I’m sorry, I’m annoyed I couldn’t help but go there too.  
Hmm… what I meant to say is even though she misses her parents, at least they got to see one of the best and happiest days of AJ’s life. Why, the cute-ceañera had Apples all over the country prancing to great melodies only surpassed with the hollering and cheers of the ponies wowing over those three red apples fresh on the flank. Bright Mac couldn’t have been prouder and Applejack couldn’t have beamed more when he put his hat on her head and told her the farm will be in the perfect hooves when it’s her turn to take care of it. She stood tall as she could as she showed Pear Butter her new hat. As the light turned golden and the shadows grew long, everypony waved their goodbyes to the Ponyvilles Apples and left their blessings with their newest adult.

Unfortunately she never got to show her mother…

This knocks me dead. This is not an ordinary type of cute. This transcends modern understandings of conventional cuteness.
