Every day after school, a young boy named Kike visited his mother’s grave, and one day, a stranger noticed something extraordinary about his routine.
The boy took out a piece of paper from his backpack, revealing that his visits were more than just a daily habit—they were heartfelt rituals of love and devotion to his mother, even though she was no longer with him.
Losing a parent is especially difficult for a child, and Kike struggled with the pain of his mother’s passing. But he continued to visit the cemetery every day, seeking comfort in the connection he still felt with her. One day, a passerby, moved by what she saw, approached Kike.
Despite his grief, Kike was determined to do well in school to make his mother proud. He explained to the woman that his visits weren’t just about remembering his mother—they were about sharing his life with her, even in death.
In April 2023, a TikTok video captured Kike’s touching routine and quickly went viral, moving millions of viewers across the world.
In the video, Kike is seen sitting by his mother’s grave, holding a piece of paper. When the woman asked him about his visits, he opened up about his mother’s death, recalling:
“She screamed a lot, and one day she couldn’t anymore, so she passed away.”
While his pain was evident, Kike believed his mother was still watching over him with pride:
“I miss her a lot, and even though she is in heaven, I know she sees me and is very proud of me.”
The woman, deeply moved by his story, felt compelled to share it with the world. The video touched the hearts of many who could relate to the pain of losing a loved one.
As Kike’s story spread, so did the support from people around the globe. Now living with his grandmother, who constantly reminds him of how special he is, Kike expressed his gratitude.
He explained to the woman how he always brought his schoolwork and grades to show his mom:
“I always come to do my homework, and when they give me my grades, I show them to my mom,” he said.
The outpouring of empathy from viewers reflected the shared heartache of losing a parent at a young age, with Kike’s touching story resonating deeply with many who understood his pain.
