When a 6-year-old boy passed away suddenly from a rare brain infection in 2015, his devastated parents came home from the hospital and found something he had left for them in the living room. It was a last note to Mom and Dad, which made them break down in tears.
Little Leland Shoemake, from Pike County, Georgia, was sent to hospital two weeks after he started complaining about headaches. While he was at the Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta hospital in Egleston, his mom and dad stayed at his bedside. After two more weeks, the 6-year-old passed away from his brain infection on Sept. 25, 2015.
