Every year, schools organize family fun day events where parents come together to enjoy games and build friendships. But for children with single parents, there is often worry about whether their mother or father will attend the event without their partners. However, one single mother from St. George, Utah, went above and beyond to ensure her son didn’t miss out on the excitement.

Whitney Kittrell, a single mother of two, received a flyer from her son announcing an upcoming event at his kindergarten called “Dads and Doughnuts.” Fathers and children would gather for a morning of fun and doughnuts at the school. When her son asked if she would attend, Whitney hesitated due to her busy schedule. But her son’s response melted her heart.

“No, I want to go with you. You are my mother and father.”

Determined to give her children a “normal” life and memorable experiences, Whitney made a decision. She would attend the event disguised as a man to surprise her son. With a drawn-on goatee, a baseball hat, and a pair of sweatpants, Whitney transformed herself into a ‘dad’ for the day.

When they arrived at the school, Whitney’s son proudly introduced her to his friends, saying, “This is my mom. She’s my dad too, so I brought her!” Whitney was embarrassed, but her heart swelled with pride. It was a moment she will never forget.

After sharing their heartwarming story and photos on Facebook, Whitney’s post quickly gained attention. Netizens were touched by her son’s love and her dedication as a mother. The post received over 9,000 likes and reactions, with many people moved by their unforgettable actions.

Whitney hopes that her son will always remember this special day, just like she will. As a devoted single mother, she will continue to go above and beyond for her children. With her unwavering love, Whitney is determined to give them the best possible life and the same experiences as other kids.

Let this inspiring story remind us all of the power of love and the lengths a parent would go for their child. No matter the challenges we face, it is the bond between parent and child that truly matters.
