It is with a heavy heart and tear filled eyes that I write the blog tonight.  One of our NEMO friends, Jack Hagelin, earned his angel wings last night.  I hated that expression the first time I ever heard it, mainly because it’s so painful to hear and seems so wrong to be said about a child.  But after seeing these kids fight so hard and suffer so much, I understand it better.  Tonight I envision Jack, not hooked up to machines and laboring to breath, but running and jumping and dancing and singing and playing with Jesus.  Roy and Charlotte – you are amazing parents.  My heart is aching for you both.  Please know that your son’s life touched mine in a deep and profound way that I can’t express with words. 

Please everyone, pray that Jesus would wrap his arms around this family and hold them tight tonight and in the days to come.
