My Young Son Disappeared at the Carnival, We Discovered Him the Following Day, Astonished by His Story

Emily is a mother to her adventurous five-year-old son, Harry, and they live quietly with her parents. One Friday, they decided to take Harry to the carnival in town, excited for a day filled with joy. However, the day quickly turned into a nightmare.

As they entered, Harry eagerly asked to go on the carousel. Emily happily agreed, holding his hand tightly. Her parents, who adored Harry, accompanied them, with her dad carrying a stuffed bear he had just won for him.

After enjoying the carousel, Harry rushed over, brimming with energy, and asked for ice cream. Emily smiled and reached into her bag for money. They walked through the carnival, enjoying the sweet smells of popcorn and cotton candy while the joyful sounds of laughter surrounded them.

When they reached the ice cream stand, Harry spotted a clown making balloon animals. Emily kept an eye on him as she ordered his chocolate cone. However, when she turned to give it to him, he was gone. Panic surged within her as she called out his name, but there was no response.

Emily’s heart raced as she called for her parents, and they joined in searching frantically for Harry. They split up, calling his name and asking others if they had seen him. As time passed, the fear deepened.

Emily’s mother suggested they call the police, and they quickly arrived to help. They asked questions about Harry’s appearance and where he was last seen. Officers searched the area, but as night fell, Harry was still missing, and despair filled Emily’s heart. That night, Emily lay awake, haunted by worries about Harry’s safety. The next morning, when they returned to the park to continue searching, Harry appeared, holding a small box.

Emily scooped him up in relief, but Harry calmly said someone took him. When she asked who, he replied: “God”. Confused, Emily questioned what he meant, and Harry explained that this “God” had bought him ice cream and played soccer with him.

As he described this figure, Emily’s heart sank. Harry mentioned a scar shaped like a star on the man’s face, a scar she recognized all too well—Michael’s. Michael was the man she once loved, and he had a similar scar.

Memories flooded back to when she and Michael were inseparable. They fell in love in college, but everything shattered when Emily discovered that her best friend, Lisa, had supposedly slept with him. Heartbroken, she left without telling Michael she was pregnant and claimed she had lost the baby. Emily wondered if she had made a terrible mistake, running from something that might not have been true.

The next day, a knock on the door brought a chill to her spine. Michael stood there, shocked to see her. He asked if Harry was his son and explained that he never cheated; Lisa had set him up and drugged him. Emily’s mind spun with disbelief. Could she have been wrong? Michael’s pain mirrored her own, making her question everything.

Michael pleaded to be part of Harry’s life, expressing regret for the past. Over the following weeks, he spent time with Harry, slowly building a relationship. Emily watched as their bond grew, and her anger began to fade, replaced by hope.

One evening, after Harry went to bed, Emily and Michael sat on the porch, the night air wrapping around them. She admitted that Harry was happy with Michael and wondered if she had been wrong about him.

Michael acknowledged their mistakes but emphasized that they had a chance to create a better future for Harry—and perhaps for themselves. As they talked, Emily felt warmth in her heart, wondering if they could rebuild what they had lost.

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.”

Amber said:

“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!
