Hugo was diagnosed with stage four glioblastoma last April, and though he has remained hopeful, chances are that he will never get to see his daughters get married. His daughters are 6 and 7 years old.
This February, when Hugo learned of his diagnosis, he reached out to his favorite artist Tim McGraw with a request. He posted a video saying the following…
“One of my dreams is to be with my little girls for their wedding and be there dancing with him,”
“But statistically, it’s going to be tough. And I’m going to fight hard to get there, but one of my dreams or goals… is to do a duet [of] ‘My Little Girl’ with Tim McGraw and do a little video that we could play during their wedding”
“So if I’m there, it’d be awesome because it’s a beautiful song. And if I’m not there, then at least I can be part of that wonderful day that I hope happens, hope comes.”

After the post went viral, McGraw noticed. McGraw flew the entire family to Nashville, Tennessee to record the video. See a post made to McGraw’s Instagram about the situation below…
The caption of that post reads…
“Thanx to everyone who shared Mike Hugo’s video on social media and tagged me in the comments,”
“So glad we were able to actually get together in person, meet this amazing family, and make it happen! Mike is saving the videos for his daughters’ future weddings… what a special thing to be a part of”

A nice moment amongst a tragedy. How beautiful that McGraw was able to make this suffering family forget about their troubles for just a little while.
