Stepdad Rushes to Seek a Boy Whose Own Mother Kicked Him Out — Story of the Day

A young boy finds himself out on the streets when his mother throws him out and rescue comes from the most unexpected quarter.

Leona Rodgers believed she was living the perfect life. She was happily married to the man of her dreams and they shared an adorable son. Her husband Lee was a handsome, charming man who made Leona feel like she was living a fairy tale romance.

Unfortunately, one day that fairy tale came to an end. Out of the blue, Lee came home and announced that he was leaving. When the bewildered Leona asked why, Lee was brutally honest.

For a while, Leona even seemed to forget that Lee existed. She was in love with a new man who was even more adoring than her first husband had ever been. Finally, life was giving Leona what she felt she deserved.
