Two years ago this community had a terrible blow. Trooper Shawn Blaton was killed in the line of duty. A few weeks before his 1st child was born premature but he was able to hold his baby son before he was killed. Tye was small and had lots of problems but he gave us all hope. Unfortunately Tye passed 5 months later. His family took the lost and turned it into something good to help other premature babies at Mission. This past Sunday they hosted a Lula to honor Tye. They were asking for donations for the NIC unit at Mission. The afternoon was great. The pool was cool, the bounce houses were fun, the food was amazing, and the people I don't know what to say. The families of Shawn and Tye keep going on and have fun doing it. They are special people in my heart. They show by example how to live and love. The girls and I went and really enjoyed the afternoon at Maggie Valley. It makes you want to go and hug the ones you love.
