After 6-year-old son passes away, parents find note he left them

I hope that when you’re reading this story you have some tissues to hand because you’re going to need them; I really cried real tears for this little boy and you will too!

This lovely little boy, called Leland Shoemake, wanted his mommy and daddy to have this lovely sweet message from him before his time came to leave this world.

At only the tender age of six-years-old this little boy died of his condition on September 25th, he was undergoing treatment for Balamuthia mandrillaris, a brain-eating amoeba.

His parents returned home without their son to find a note, it was special and it’s something that they will treasure and cherish for all their days!

His mom was in his room, she was organizing and preparing for the funeral, it was Tim who found the note, it was in their living room in a place that he liked to draw and do art.

Time burst into tears as soon as he set his eyes on the note, he ran towards his wife, keen to show her the note he had found…

The note simply ready this:

“Still with you. Thank you, mom and dad. Love mom and dad.”

“To say I lost it was an understatement …We cried together for the longest time.”

Their little boy frequently wrote notes to them, and pictures too, but this one was really so much more special than any of the others, they decided to frame it and have it on the wall in the living room.

Mom says in her Facebook past that Leland was a clever and very curious little boy!Amber wrote about him:

“He knew his abc’s, numbers, colors, shapes and 20 sight words by the time he was a year old. He was our little nerd and we loved that about him. He loved school and loved to learn. He loved the history channel, the weather channel, documentaries and anything about history …He had a hunger for learning.”

Leland wasn’t just a clever little boy, he also was really sociable too and enjoyed talking with his parents and other people too, every single person who came into contact with him recognized his lovely kind personality, his parents even made new friends because of him.

He was just a really lovely child, but taken way too soon, before he flourished!

This note he left behind, it was simply beautiful, something that everyone should see, words are really not enough to describe what it means to any parent to find something like this in these circumstances.

Amber said about Leland:

“He was our little nerd and we loved that about him. He loved school and loved to learn.”

“He loved the history channel, the weather channel, documentaries and anything about history.”

“He loved ships like the Titanic and learning about things like WWII. He was perfect. His favorite movie was jaws.”

“His favorite director was Steven Spielberg. And his favorite actor was Adam Sandler.”

“He loved his brother and his family so much. He was the life of every party. His smile could light up a city.”

“He was the smartest, most caring, loving little boy there ever was.”

This little boy will be sadly missed by all that knew him, his parents especially and we send our love and prayers to him!

I Caught My In-Laws Snooping in My Drawers, but Their Karma Was What They Found Inside

In the aftermath of her crumbling marriage, April faces a new challenge as her in-laws invade her privacy, searching for evidence of her guilt. But the tables turn dramatically when they stumble upon unexpected proof of their son’s secret life.

I’m April, ready to spill some tea on a bizarre chapter of my life that has just unfolded. It’s about how my in-laws got a taste of their own medicine most unexpectedly. So, buckle up!

A bit about me first: I’m 28, a lover of art, a tad bit impulsive, and recently, heartbreakingly single.

My now estranged husband Liam, who’s 30, seemed like the love of my life until a few months into our marriage when a bombshell dropped. He told me he was bisexual.

I won’t lie; it floored me—not the bisexuality but the hiding it. After a whirlwind of emotions, I decided I was okay with it as long as we stayed monogamous.

No open relationships for me, thank you very much. I was clear: “If that’s what you want, then you need to be with someone else because it’s not me.”

Liam promised me I was the only one for him, that he didn’t need anyone else. Turns out, promises are sometimes just pretty lies.

Fast forward a bit, and guess what? I found out he was having an affair. And not just any affair, but with another man.

How, you ask? Oh, the modern way—through his iPad which was as unfaithful in keeping secrets as he was. The photos were… let’s just say, very Mapplethorpe-esque.

The confrontation that followed was epic. “I can’t believe you would do this to us!” I shouted, my voice echoing off the walls of what used to be our dream home.

He just stood there, with no words, no apologies—nothing. That was the last straw. “I don’t want you in my house again. Ever,” I told him, and I meant every word.

After our massive blowout, Liam had to get his stuff, but there was no way I was letting him stroll back into my life—or my house, for that matter.

So, we agreed he would send me a list, and I would pack everything up neatly in a box. Simple, right? Well, it should have been. Liam wanted to pick up his things personally, but nope, not happening.

We settled on a middle ground: I’d give his parents a temporary code to my house. They’re decent folks, and I trusted them enough. Plus, I had my security cameras all set up—no sneaky business on my watch.

The plan was foolproof: they punch in the code, grab the box from the front entrance, lock up, and go. Easy peasy. Well, that was the plan anyway.

So, the day comes, his parents show up, use the code, and pick up the box. So far, so good, right? Wrong. His mom, bless her heart, couldn’t resist a little detour. There she goes, on my security footage, heading straight for my bedroom.

My heart’s pounding, not because I’m scared, but because it feels so wrong watching them snoop through my space. But then, the plot thickens, and I can’t help but burst into laughter.

She reaches my chest of drawers—the top one, where we used to keep our jewelry—and pulls out this big, mysterious envelope. Looking over her shoulder like a cartoon thief, she sneaks a peek inside.

I swear, her reaction is priceless. She looks like she’s about to scream (I could only see, not hear, remember?).

n a panic, she stuffs everything back, dashes out of the room, and practically sprints to their truck. All this drama over finding the photos of Liam’s little escapades.

I mean, come on, how can you not laugh at that? The irony is just too much. She came looking for dirt and ended up getting a whole garden’s worth!

Continuing from the moment of unexpected comedy courtesy of my mother-in-law, let’s take a step back to paint the whole picture here.

You see, before all this unfolded, Liam and I, with a touch of what now seems like forethought, had set up a prenup.

Oh, not just any prenup, but one with a clause sharper than a knife: if one of us cheats, the other gets everything. Yeah, my idea. Call it intuition or maybe just me being cautious, but part of me always suspected Liam might break my heart.

So, fast forward to the debacle of his affair, and there I was, armed with proof of his cheating.

When I confronted him, he was all puppy eyes, begging me not to enforce the prenup. Said it would ruin him financially and oh, the horror, he’d have to confess his mess to his parents.

Out of what I now think was too much generosity, I agreed. I mean, who was I to turn someone’s life upside down, right?

But here’s the kicker. While I was playing the benevolent soon-to-be ex-wife, Liam was spinning tales.

To my utter dismay, I found out he told his parents a story flipped on its head: it was me who cheated, and he, the martyr, didn’t enforce the prenup out of the goodness of his heart. Yeah, right.

His parents, thinking they were on a mission to uncover my betrayal, came to my house that fateful day. They were supposed to just pick up his things and leave, but no, they decided to dig around for proof of my supposed infidelity.

Can you imagine the shock on their faces when instead of finding evidence against me, they stumbled upon the graphic photos of Liam’s escapade? Their whole narrative just exploded right there in my bedroom.

So, where were we? Right, the major fallout. Just when I thought the drama couldn’t get any worse, my phone buzzed. It’s Liam, and he’s furious.

He accuses me of deliberately leaving those scandalous pictures for his parents to find. As much as I enjoy a good plot twist, I hadn’t done that.

I was tempted to scatter them on top of the box just to make a statement, but that felt too harsh, even for me. His parents, after all, had always been kind to me.

“I didn’t leave them out on purpose, Liam,” I tried to explain over the phone, my voice calm but firm. “You said your mom was looking for that ring you forgot to list, right? You told her where to find it?”

“Yeah, but I forgot until they were almost there,” he retorted, his voice a mix of embarrassment and annoyance.

“Well, if you had told me earlier, I would’ve put it in the box,” I sighed, wishing he had been more organized.

Now here’s the kicker—Liam was more upset about his parents discovering he’s a power bottom than the actual infidelity.

The conversation quickly spiraled from accusations to self-pity. “I can’t stay at their house now,” he complained. “I need to find somewhere else. You’ve really done it this time, April. You’re so cruel.”

Cruel? Really? If anything, karma was just doing its job, serving up a dish Liam had been cooking since his misstep.

As the call ended, I couldn’t help but reflect on the entire saga. Despite the chaos, a weight had been lifted. I was free from the web of lies and deceit, and for the first time in a long time, I could breathe and look forward to starting anew.

Now, dear readers, I turn to you. Am I the villain in this tale, or just a bystander in the chaotic life of a man who couldn’t own up to his actions? Did karma simply do what karma does best?

I’d love to hear your thoughts, theories, and maybe even some of your own similar stories. How do you see it? Was this poetic justice or just plain old messiness?
