After a father spent the majority of his son’s life incarcerated, he came out with a big promise to buy the 18-year-old his first car. With the support of his twin brother, his child’s mother, and the rest of their family, this father was able to come through after missing out on so much.
“My oldest son’s dad has been locked up since he was six months old – my son is now 18”.
That is how one mother began her Twitter thread regarding the father of her son purchasing the young man’s first car for him. You see, Twitter user ‘KalitafromMemphis’ was very candid with her family’s situation and her transparency has struck a chord with many on social media.
