Single Mom Dressed Up as a Man for Her Son's "Dads and Donuts" Day at School
When Whitney Kittrell of St. George, Utah, became a single mother three years ago, she made a special vow to herself and her two children.
"I made a promise with myself that I would do anything I could, even if it meant going out of my comfort zone, to give my kids a 'normal' life and the same experiences as other kids," she wrote on Facebook.
So when her kindergartener came home with a note about a "Dads and Donuts" Day at his school, her "heart kinda sank."
"I finally sat him down and asked if he wanted to ask his grandpa to go," she wrote. "He just smiled and said 'No. I want you to go. You're my mom and dad.'" [Editors note: 😭💔].
So, on Wednesday, she painted on some facial hair, donned her best dad outfit, and went to school with her proud son.
"I was so embarrassed but 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!' I've tried my best to let them know they are loved but I wonder a lot if I'm actually succeeding at it. When I went to leave 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 ... kissed my cheek and ran off."
Her post went wildly viral and with 37,000 likes and over 23,000 shares in just two days. It's a powerful reminder that one person's love can certainly more than make up for two.
