Single Mom Who Drove Son To School Every Day Cries When She Surprises Him With First-Ever Car

A proud single mom who worked two jobs and gave her son daily affirmations was brought to tears when she finally surprised him with a car on his 18th birthday. Julia Jauregui, 36, from Pasadena, Texas, shares a deep bond with her son, Samuel. Each morning, she’d drop him off at school with uplifting words like, “Be a leader” and “I love you,” to which he’d reply, “I love you more” — only for Julia to remind him, “But I loved you first.” After a tough few years, including moving out of her longtime rental and back in with her mother, Julia had one goal in mind: to gift Samuel a car. One morning, after a detour to pick up kolaches and donuts, Julia spotted a used 2009 Ford Focus for sale. She secretly negotiated the price down to $1,700, had it checked by a mechanic, and hid it for a month while adding thoughtful extras. On October 6, after recording her final school drop-off, Julia took Samuel to a restaurant with loved ones. When he opened a set of car cleaning products, it started to click. Overcome with emotion, Samuel asked if the gifts meant what he thought — and Julia confirmed with a tearful hug.
