Should she have let her son meet his dying dad?

She did the right thing, allowing a dying parent his final wish and allowing her sweet son to create memories of his dad.

I lost my dad at 48 to cancer, you did the right thing. It was not your decision, it was your son's, you made the right choice for him

Not allowing dad to connect with his son would have been something she would have had to live with and answer to later by her son.

yes, she did the right thing for her son. he should be allowed a loving memory of his father, and closure of his father's absence.

She fulfilled a wish that he was able to take to the grave with him. She was very mature about the situation. Keep his memory alive for him

Through a child, God works so many miracles.

Death is a part of life. I feel that Judah would have been angry as an adult knowing his mother kept him away. Right Decision. Forgiving.

...it ended up being his dying wish, and everyone involved 'grew' in their relationships with each other and the realities of the world.

It's rare (and sad) today that someone considers someone else's feelings over their own. Absolutely the right thing.

Dad planned on a relationship when the boy got older. Kids need mom the most untill they are around 10.

Most assuredly yes! I never knew my father and would give anything to even have faint memories or pictures.

Great choice, u have the picures and the brief memories. Whats best for "us" adults is not allways whats best for a child!

I feel its better that he knew his father loved him rather than feeling abandoned later in life. As some kids with single mothers do.

(SOBB) Yes, she did the right thing! I honestly feel that had she not allowed them to bond he would have hatred toward his mother later.

I think she did the right thing. Children are stronger than we think and often can rationalize better than we give them credit for.

First, forgiveness is a good thing. Second, the boy would always wonder why mom hadn't let them meet. Finally, death is a part of life.

Love is always best. Loss can be terrible, but it's part of life! He'll face it eventually, so why not let him know the love of a dad now?

when her son gets older, he will remember more than she realizes as long as she helps keep the fathers memory alive.

Even thought I do feel the father was selfish, in the end the mother did the right thing. This was about the child not his father.

I lost my dad when I was 3 weeks old. I would give anything to have the time Judah had with his dad. I think she made the right decision.

This is two people who put the child first. Great mother, brave father, courageous kid.

A beautiful decision in a lousy situation. That boy learned a lot about how to live & forgive within a family. He's already passing it alon

The most important thing in rasing children is to let them experience things that will help guide them to become their own person. Good/Ba

U did the right thing ! My ex moved my daughter 2 AZ & does not acknowledge WHAT a DAD might bring 2 the relationship.Its a LOT; I applaud
