'Still with you': Grieving mother finds heartbreaking 'goodbye' note from six-year-old son after his death

Amber Shoemake discovered the note after stepping through the doors of her Georgia, U.S., home with her husband, Tim, for the first time since their son, Leland, passed away from a rare brain infection on Friday.
It also included a drawing of a red heart, featuring the words mom, dad, and love.The touching final note had been penned by Leland before he was rushed to hospital with balamuthia mandrillaris, an amoebic infection that has affected only around 200 people globally since in 1986.
Tim and I came home for the first time to get him clothes to be buried in, this is the note we found from him on the table in the living room, Mrs Shoemake wrote on Facebook as she shared a photo of the piece of paper.
Leland, who has one younger brother, was hospitalized for more than three weeks with balamuthia mandrillaris, which his distraught mother believes he contracted doing the one thing he loved most - playing in the dirt.Mrs Shoemake, from Pike County, wrote in her Facebook post: I was over protective of Leland and tried my best to keep him safe.
