Single Mom Dresses as a Dad for School Function

I can't even imagine how hard it must be to be a single parent, but how much harder it must for a child to not have both parents actively playing a role in their life. How difficult it must be to watch your friends do things with their mom when you don't have one in your life, or with their dad when your dad isn't around.

One mom stepped up big time and her simple act of support for her son has gone viral and has a lot of people talking about how she deserves the title of not only 'Mom of the Year,' but also 'Father of the Year.'

Yevette Vasquez lives Texas and while dropping her little guy off at school one morning, she noticed that there seemed to be a lot of extra cars in the parking lot. When she asked Elijah about it, he told her that his school was holding a special event for dads, called "Donuts With Dad."

Yevette was really concerned that her son would feel left out, that she drove home and put on a plaid shirt, a baseball cap, and a fake mustache and then went back to the school to join her boy for "Donuts With Dad."

Yevette wrote on Facebook, "I wasn't about to let him miss out. I know seeing other dads with their kids isn't easy for mine but it’s life. At least I can do whatever it takes to put a smile on that face, so here it goes."
