Do me a favor and stop that. I fully realize how hard what I am asking is, but it's not helping you and it's not helping him. Blame yourself only for things that are your fault, not for things you cannot control. He wouldn't be alive nor would he be the man he is without you. You did everything you could for the time you had together.

We...don't have a lot of time left. Don't waste any of the time you will have with him now blaming yourself for what cannot be changed.
