Cancer patient Sonali Bendre writes an emotional post for his 12-years-old son that will make you cry!

From the moment he was born 12 years, 11 months and 8 days ago, my amazing @rockbehl took ownership of my heart. From then on, his happiness and wellbeing have been the centre of anything @goldiebehl and I ever did. And so, when the Big C reared its ugly head, our biggest dilemma was what and how we were going to tell him. As much as we wanted to protect him, we knew it was important to tell him the full facts. We’ve always been open and honest with him and this time it wasn’t going to be different. He took the news so maturely… and instantly became a source of strength and positivity for me. In some situations now, he even reverses roles and takes on being the parent, reminding me of things I need to do! I believe that it’s imperative to keep kids involved in a situation like this. They are a lot more resilient than we give them credit for. It’s important to spend time with them and include them, rather than make them wait on the side-lines, not being told yet instinctively knowing everything. In our effort to protect them from the pain and realities of life, we might end up doing the opposite. I’m spending time with Ranveer right now, while he’s on summer vacation. His madness and shenanigans help me #SwitchOnTheSunshine. And today, we derive strength from each other #OneDayAtATime

Sonali writes that she did not understand how she told the son about her illness and it was also necessary to tell her. Sonali says that he should know about them.

When I told him, he was behaving like this in a way that he is very much fit and he takes care of every little thing that is very good.

We should do that for what he is doing and in this way he emerged as my strength and seeing his laughing face and seeing his devils, I got the strength to fight the disease.

Sonali believes that it is important for children to know about yourself and you in such circumstances. At present, Sonali is spending time with her son in the hospital and seeing her, she is trying to recover from the disease.
