A Texas woman went viral over the weekend when she tweeted about her son’s father, who was released from prison after serving 18 years.
The woman, whose Twitter handle is @KalitafromMemphis, wrote:
“My oldest son dad been locked up since he was six months old my son is now 18. His dad has been home for almost a year now, when he first got home he promised he would buy my son his first car.”

She continued:
“he made me promise that I would not intervene and allow him the time to get my son a car I agreed very reluctantly. If you know me and my kids you know they are spoiled and I’m OK with that but I wanted to give this man that opportunity.”

“My son father has worked two jobs, paid off his parole and probation fees, got on his feet, and after driving for a day and a half stops included he will be here in 30 minutes with my son’s first car. It does my heart a lot of good to know that he kept his promise.”

The story had the potential to go left, but it has a happy ending. Her baby daddy kept his word and bought his son a car!
Kalita posted a video of her baby daddy delivering the vehicle to their son.

The other man in the video is her ex’s twin brother. He was there over the years to help raise both boys while his brother was locked up.
Even though a woman can’t raise a boy to be a man, Kalita is clearly a devoted mom who put her sons first and made sure their dads were in their lives. She is an inspiration to boy moms everywhere!

we need to celebrate more incarcerated individuals, wouldn’t know where we’d be without them, praise the commissary gods

Thank you so much for posting this. A lot of men do this & it’s not talked about. Mothers like you are important for keeping that line of communication open for a relationship & telling others that there are still decent fathers out there. Salute to you and your family
