OMG, Christie, that's so heart-wrenching... facing so much with the cancer and having your son refuse to contact you. Yes, he will regret it in time. Maybe you can write him a letter to read should you pass (I'll hold out hope your lungs are clear), letting him know you love him and forgive him. Something to bring him peace even though I expect you probably feel a mixture of anger, frustration, and extreme hurt from his actions. That's not what you want him to live with for the rest of his life, and it's clear you love him so maybe that would give him a better last memory of you to carry inside of him.

Motherhood is extremely hard. It brings us so many wonderful things, but it also gives us a huge weight that we must carry at all times no matter what.

I wish you the best news possible next week, Christie. And I hope your son can see the big picture of what really matters sometime soon.
