A bereaved mum has left the community in tears after they discovered her sweet gesture in memory of her son. The unnamed woman secretly left a gift of a children's book for an unsuspecting customer at a branch of Morrisons in the Black Country to find.
The children's book, called Harry and the Dinosaurs First Sleepover, was left in the baby changing area of the supermarket in Aldridge, near Walsall, with an anonymous note. A gift tag attached to the book read: "You've found me!! Enjoy this book in honour of my son Caleb who would have turned five today."
Sarah Foster shared on Facebook that the sweet gift was found by her partner Joe at the Anchor Road supermarket. She was so moved by the book and the note, she said it brought a tear to her eye, BirminghamLive reports.
The book is now being enjoyed by her daughter Charlotte. Sarah wrote: "My partner found this today in Morrisons baby change. It's so beautiful and brought a tear to my eye.
"Happy heavenly birthday sweet Caleb. My two-year-old loves this. Thank you. It will be cherished forever."
Parents have since described the nameless mum's gesture as 'lovely' and 'so moving'. One woman said: "That’s just broken me. What a beautiful thing to do."
Another said: "I’m reading this while comforting my boy, being there at his bedside. Brought a tear to my eye while my little one drifts off to dreamland. Makes me want to hold him tight. Happy birthday Caleb."
