Tug's Son Related A Song To His Condition
Tug's eldest son Tim McGraw is one of the most excellent country musicians.
His son's song titled Live Like You Were Dying was the song he wrote relating to Tug's condition.
Tug passed away in 2004, and his son released that song in the same year.
According to his son Tim, he got the idea of the song when he knew about Tug's brain cancer and was under treatment.
That was a tragic moment when that song got into his mind.
Tim recalled when his dad stayed in his cabin room, and that time he, his uncle, and his brother stayed out watching football.
He wanted to play that song in front of Tug but couldn't. After his father's death, he released the song, which got a hit.
Tim received many awards for that song.
Tug Was Unknown About His Son
Tug's first child was Tim McGraw.
His son was born through his affair with Betty O'Agostion, but sadly, Tug had no idea about his son for many years.
According to Tug, he and Betty didn't have a serious relationship, as Betty chose to leave after sex.
She left and broke all contact with Tug after they had sex for the first time.
When they had sexual relations, Betty was just a high school girl and went to live in Louisiana. Because of that, Tug never knew about their child Tim.
Tug met Tim when he was 17 years old on his game, but he told Tim that he wouldn’t be able to be his dad.
They didn't have father and son relationship, and things were messed up between them.
But slowly, their relationship changed after Tug paid for Tim's college studies.
