The Heartwarming Reason 1 Boy Hoped His Single Mom Would Show Up to Dad's Day
Whitney Kittrell has been a single mom for over three years now, but she still remembers the promise she made to herself in the beginning: she would do anything she could - even if it meant going out of her comfort zone - to give her kuds a "normal" life with similar experiences to other children.
Over the years, she and her kiddo have accomplished a lot on their own. However, the trips and memories of teaching him how to play catch didn't help ease the pain when her kindergartner came home with a note from school about there being a "Donuts with Dad" morning at school. "My heart kind of sank," she shared on Facebook.
After getting her emotions in check, she sat the child down and asked if he wanted to take his grandpa that day, but his answer left her beyond surprised. "He just smiled and said 'No. I want you to go. You're my mom and dad,'" the proud mom explained. "So this morning I gathered up my best dad outfit, painted on some facial hair, and went to breakfast with my sweet son."
Whitney admits to feeling embarrassed about her costume when she first showed up to the school, but to her child, this dedicated mom looked perfect. "I couldn't help but smile when he introduced me to his little friends saying 'This is my mom . . . she's my dad too so I brought her!'" she wrote. "I've tried my best to let them know they are loved but I wonder a lot if I'm actually succeeding at it."
However, her child's reaction when she went to leave showed that she has absolutely nothing to worry about. "He ran after me and hugged me tight around my neck and whispered 'Mom . . . I know that you'll always be there and do anything for me. Thank you. I love you,'" Whitney wrote. "He kissed my cheek and ran off. I hope he remembers this day because I'll never forget it or his sweet words."
