My son is dying

This is fucking cancer. He is 2. We are only 3 months from diagnosis and we are out of active treatment options.

I hate cancer, I hate the pandemic disrupting our world and keeping us from people we love.

He has been so tough she and strong and there is nothing more they can do, the cancer just keeps coming back.

I would give everything to keep him

This is the cruelest of all things that could ever happen in life. Your darling boy. I am so so sorry.

So sad to read you have lost your beautiful blue-eyed boy. He sounded such a lovely cheeky little chap. My heart is broken for you and your family.

How lovely that you and the women in your family washed him together. A loving and beautiful ritual to remember always.

I have lit a candle for him. It's shining brightly. Just as your love for him always will. Star

OP, I am so so sorry. I have children almost exactly the same age as yours and I just cannot imagine the absolutely sheer horror and terror you are living through. It is so so unfair, all of it. I just wanted to let you know I am thinking of your family. Your little boy deserved a full and long life. When I see things like this I just wonder how this can happen. I know there are no words that will bring you comfort right now but I hope in time your family can be happy again, you will always carry your little boy in your heart, he is forever with you.
