“You are my dad too!” – said the boy, bringing home an invitation to a school holiday.
Incomplete families all the time. It is good when both parents are involved in the child’s life. But often mothers left without a man in the family have to raise their children on their own. And at the same time, somehow miraculously make sure that they do not feel flawed among their peers from complete families.
If you are in such a situation, you may be inspired by the example of Whitney Kittrell from America. Who, for the sake of her son Lucas, became … a man for several hours.
– When three years ago I became a single mother, I promised myself that I would do anything, I would get out of my skin to give my children a normal life, no different from the life of other children, – said Whitney on her page on Facebook”. – Everything was good for us, everything worked out. We traveled alone, I taught my son to play ball, we saved up memories and pleasant moments.
The precarious balance threatened to collapse overnight. First-grader Lucas brought from school an invitation to the traditional Dad and Donuts festival.
“I asked him if he wanted grandpa to go with him,” Whitney recalls. – And he smiled and said: “No. I want you to go. You are my mom and dad. “
There were no options. More precisely, there was one. Look as “papal” as possible. Pull on a man’s outfit, add a mustache and a beard. Take a deep breath and head out to have fun with your son.
“I was so embarrassed, but I could not help smiling when he introduced me to my classmates,” the woman recalls. “Lucas said,“ This is my mom … but so is my dad. So I brought her in. “
The woman tried very hard. And she did it! The son’s behavior was the best proof of this. When she was about to leave, Lucas ran to her, hugged her tightly and kissed her.
– He whispered in my ear: “Mom … I know that you will always be with me and will do everything for me. Thank you. I love you, ”Whitney recounts about her most memorable day. – I hope that he will remember this day, because I will never forget either him or his sweet words.
The post of the woman in a few days has collected more than 100 thousand shares and almost 15,5 thousand comments. Which can serve as a kind of applause: almost everyone admired the mother’s act. This is true love.
