This is so hard. I have 4 boys ages 10,7,5,3. Each handles my illness in their own way. My 10 year old is pretty mature and gives me 'extra' hugs at night. My 7 year old thinks he can 'catch' cancer by drinking out of the same glass as me. My 5 year old informed me that his invisible friends mother just died, and my youngest son cries when he is away from me. Everyone says to stay positive, but looking into the eyes of these young children, and knowing the future is uncertain...well, that is the most difficult thing. I do the only thing I can, and that is to love them every single day. I wish you the best. Sincerely, Janet
