Grieving Mom Finds Toys Every Day On The Grave Of Her Son

Kenneth and Lily were heartbroken. They rushed from Chicago to Milwaukee, where the officer had said Leonard’s body was, hoping that everything they had heard was a mistake or a bad dream that would pass quickly.

However, when they arrived at the morgue, they couldn’t believe the lifeless boy, the pale-skinned body, was their son. Lily sobbed on the floor, and Kenneth had a stream of tears streaming down his cheeks.

Kenneth and Lily organized their son’s funeral the next day in Milwaukee — too heartbroken to bring him to their hometown, the place which had marked the beginning of their estranged relationship — and bid Leonard farewell. But the loss of their son strained their relationship.

Kenneth became extremely quiet, drinking heavily and cursing himself deep down for being a terrible father, as Lily continued to blame him for kicking their son out of their home.

In the days that followed, Kenneth never bothered to accompany Lily to Leonard’s grave. He felt guilty about confronting his son, and he could never muster enough courage to face him. Lily, on the other hand, drove two hours to visit her son’s grave every day.

One day, she had just arrived at Leonard’s grave when she noticed a small teddy bear near it. She removed it and set it aside, thinking someone must have left it there by mistake, replaced it with the bouquet she’d bought, and sat there talking to her son for a while before leaving.

However, when she returned to the grave the next day, the teddy bear was there again, and this time there were several toys with it.
