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".

This mother gave her son's father the opportunity he asked for. She praised his hard work since getting out of prison, which included him working multiple jobs to pay off everything necessary to get back on his feet.

The father apparently made quite the drive in order to deliver on the promise he made to his son.
