After death: message of the deceased son
His son died at the age of eight. Five months after his death, his father makes a heartfelt discovery.
Joey Fabus was once a normal boy. He went to school, playing baseball with his friends and dreaming of becoming a cop. But suddenly his life is played fast. The reason is tragic: Joey does not have the time to wait with his dreams.
In April 2014, her son comes to his parents with an unusual condition. Joey sees everything twice. Immediately they go to an ophthalmologist, but this is at a loss. To be on the safe side, he sends the family to the hospital. A routine examination should exclude serious diseases. Unfortunately, there is no such thing as relief: Joey is diagnosed with a diffusely intrinsic ponsglioma, an incurable brain tumor.
