因為來過，所以母親想孩子應該去嘗試。

孩子的哭，母親的痛。
「媽媽，帶我回家.我不行了！你聽到了嗎？我不行了！」當媽媽說服德雷克接受治療的時候，德雷克哭了。
Derek is tearful as Cyndie tries to reason with him at the UC Davis Cancer Center on Feb. 14, 2006. She and Dr. William Hall argue that Derek should have a series of radiation treatments to shrink tumors spreading throughout his body and alleviate his pain. ”Derek, you might not make it if you don’t do this,” Cyndie tells her son. Derek fires back: ”I don’t care! Take me home. I’m done, Mom. Are you listening to me? I’m done.”

24 小時太短，母親想用自己的一生去守候。
把一束鮮花放到兒子床頭後，疲憊的辛蒂倒下了。此時德雷克的身體已經很虛弱了，需要媽媽 24 小時守護。
After placing a flower beside her son旧 head, a sobbing Cyndie drops to the floor on April 25, as her best friend, Kelly Whysong, left, and another friend, Nick Rocha, comfort her. Derek is too weak to acknowledge his mother旧 presence as she keeps a 24-hour vigil by his bed.

母親的支撐，可能留住孩子的明天？

這樣的責怪，母親的心落淚了嗎？
德雷克向媽媽發怒，責怪媽媽沒有使他健康起來。辛蒂說：「你要冷靜一點，這是幫我也是幫你自己。」
Derek refuses to take pain medications because he fears further damage to his organs. He rages at his mother on April 28, blaming her for not making him healthier. ”You have to calm down and help me help you,” Cyndie says.
