Every day, Lily, a mourning mother, visits the grave of her son, but one day finds something unexpected – there are toys of children. This leads her to reveal a devastating secret about her late son Leonard.
When Leonard, at the age of 18, announced his desire to complete high school after completing high school, his father Kenneth could not hide his disappointment. “Musician?” Did you lose your mind? “He chuckled. Leonard wanted to watch his passion, but his parents had other plans. They were expected to become a lawyer, a career he wasn’t interested in.

But Kenneth remained solid. “You’ll be a successful lawyer as your grandfather and me.” The end of the story. ”
Leonard, determined to live his own life, refused to be pushed into the future he did not want. He packed his belongings left home and promised to never return. His mother, Lily, tried to persuade him to stay, but Leonard was crucial.
There was no contact between Leonard and his parents for three years. Lily, who often feared well -she tried to call him, but her attempts were futile.
One morning, when she was preparing breakfast, her phone rang. The news at the other end broke her world. Leonard died in an accident on a motorcycle before he arrived at the hospital.
Lily collapsed in disbelief and her cries awakened Kenneth. When he answered the phone, the words of the officer confirmed the unimaginable: their son was gone.
Lily and Kenneth, sad, traveled to Milwaukee, where Leonard’s body was identified. It was a painful moment, and they could hardly believe that life without their son belonged to them.

Lily’s curiosity led her closer to the woman and asked if she knew her son. To her shock, the woman introduced herself as Carrie, Leonard’s girlfriend, and the child in his arms was their son Henry.
Lily was stunned. “But Leonard never mentioned you … or gold …”
Carrie explained with tears in her eyes that Leonard had left home to chase his dreams and meet her at work in a restaurant. They had a child together, but tragically Leonard died in an accident before he could connect with his parents.
Carrie continued, “Leonard loved you. He promised that one day when he became famous, he would bring you here and introduce you to our family. He wanted us to be all together. ”
Carrie shared that she was destroyed after Leonard’s death. She started visiting his grave and brought toys for a child in the hope of raising. Harriet did not know how to contact Lily and Kenneth until the police came to her and informed her about Leonard’s death.
The Lily, which was moving through the story, insisted that Carrie and Henry move in with her. She didn’t want to lose her family anymore.
Carrie hesitated at first, ut eventually was accepted. This decision brought the recovery of Lily and Kenneth, who approached, especially when Kenneth joined his grandson.
Carrie was grateful for the support of Lily and Kenneth, who helped her release Leonard’s song through the main label. Now Henry, who is five, proud of her father’s heritage as a musician and dreams of watching in his footsteps. Lily and Kenneth fully support him in this persecution.
In the end, the tragedy that tore Lily and Kenneth’s family brought unexpected recovery and growth. Through the discovery of Leonard’s hidden life and the bonds created with his girlfriend and son, the sad parents found a restored sense of purpose and love.
Henry, their grandson, became a source of light in their lives and filled the void left by the passing son.

Their path, marked by loss and reconciliation, eventually strengthened the strength of forgiveness and the permanent strength of the family.
