The Fago Family

For those of you who don't know the Fago family, let me tell you... they are awesome. Both Dale and Melissa were active leaders when I was in the youth group at my home church. Both of them, Melissa especially, were always asking how I was doing and how I was growing. They were both great examples and a lot of fun to be with!

Melissa and Dale were supposed blessed with three children; Corey, Tyler and Halle. Tyler was born with cerebral palsy and has never been able to walk or speak before. He was the sweetest kid with the sweetest smile ever, though. I had the privilege of babysitting Tyler a time or two and it was always a joy. They also have two other children that were always there to help Tyler and to make him laugh. Unfortunately, Tyler became sick and he was unable to recover. The doctors wanted to put in a chest tube, but they decided they'd rather bring Tyler home to spend his last days with his family and surrounded with love.

Tyler is now in Heaven, walking, running, talking, laughing, and singing like he has never been able to do before. I can't imagine the pain of having to bury a child, but I know the Fago family is comforted by the fact that their son now has a perfect body and is rejoicing with our God.

Praying for you guys! (This is the picture Melissa has for her Facebook profile picture, I'm sorry if you can't view it)
