A single mom from Nevada said she was in "complete shock" after her 13-year-old son gave her a grand gift she never expected from a boy his age. Krystal Preston posted the heartwarming story on her Facebook, sharing that her son, William Rabillo, surprised her with a car.
"I have no words right now that can express how I am feeling at this moment," the mom wrote. "The last couple weeks have literally been hell filled with so many tears, anger, confusion and heart ache. Today I got the shock of my life."
Preston said her son, who had been busy mowing lawns and cleaning yards, turned into a "money making machine" recently. That's why she didn't question the teen when he said he had a job to go do. When he came back home, Preston realized this time was different.
"William came home and said, 'Mom I bought you a car,'" Preston wrote. "I of course laughed and told him, 'Ya right!'"

Great kid.
The Mother deserves credit too, because she taught him.
I hope they will both be fine.

I think I’ll just stick to the part of the article that’s here.
I don’t want to know what they’ve been through.
Great kid. He’s got the right start, and the right heart.
The article skips that, too.
Thank God for such a son. He is a treasure.
I had a lawn mowing service when I was 12 in Phoenix. Then I got a maintenance account with Prudential real estate. I enjoyed it. Although I didn’t buy my mom a car. It taught me a lot. Nowadays the illegals have taken those opportunities away from our youth. But I’m sure there’s parts of the country where it still exists.
Yeah, there's certainly a story in there somewhere, just bursting to come out - but the author wisely keeps a lid on it.
Regards,
"Single" mom?!
What does that mean? "Unwed mother?" "Divorcée?" "Widow?"
Author obviously chose the least-descriptive term he could think of.

I checked it - she does indeed live in Preston, and appears to be a single mother.
I like this kid.
.
She's 31, which means she started "breeding" [Scots term for pregnancy] when she was 18-19.
3 kids between then and now.
Spare us your sanctimony.
I mean, screwing around and have whomever’s kid, why does the kid get the sperm donor’s last name?
I used to hear them bragging about it in front of bodegas when I drove a cab.
Who has 3 kids. Who has 5.
THAT was the mark of a man.
SMH
I hope this kid makes it. Sounds like a great kid.

You, first!

I made a lot of money doing yards in Phoenix my sophomore and junior years. Enough to pay for a lot of stuff I shouldn’t have been doing. {:0)
Es freut mich ungemein, daß Ihre Tastatur über eine Umlauttaste verfügt.
Hochachtungsvoll,
Ihr ergebenster Diener
Does it really make a difference?
