But when her kindergartner brought home a flyer for a "Dads and Doughnuts" event at school, it broke her heart.

"When I became a single mom over 3 years ago 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. We have accomplished a lot. Trips alone, teaching my son how to play catch, killing bugs with minimal screaming, countless memories, and a normal life. But when my kindergartener came home with a paper saying that they were having 'dads and doughnuts' my heart kinda sank. I finally sat him down and asked if he wanted to ask his grandpa to go. He just smiled and said 'no. I want you to go. You're my mom and dad'.

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. I hope he remembers this day cause I'll never forget it or his sweet words."[rsnippet id="2" name="ArticleAd-300x250-3"]
Single Mom Dressed As A Man Goes Viral
After sharing the heartwarming story on Facebook, Whitney's post went viral. Messages of support and appreciation flooded her in-box. And while Whitney's only intention was to be there for her son, she's glad so many people have been touched by her efforts. It was a move that took her completely out of her comfort zone, but one she'd do over and over again after seeing how much it meant to her son.“Parenting pushes you to your limits, in a good and bad way lots of times,” Kittrell said. “This is one of those times where I was pushed to my limits, but I’m grateful that I did.”Parenting isn't easy. And being a single parent brings even more challenges. Whitney, you are killing it as a single mom! h/t: ABC News
Wait until you see what this single mom did to keep six sisters together!

Worrying does nothing to benefit our lives in any way; it only takes away. It takes away the present moments and present joy you could experience, not to mention it takes away from a peaceful life.
