I understand completely what you were feeling. Yesterday was the 3rd anniversary of my son passing. Even now, when there's the the unknown that i'm aware of--recent example. A friend of my late son's, that he played basketball with in school, recently was injured at work and was in a coma for a time--i feel "something". That something is kind of hard to define because i'm certainly not hoping for bad news for others, but you kind of go 'yeah, i'm sure he/she will be fine' but inside i'm kind of jealous because they can still get good news and i can't. I'd never wish ill will or bad news on anyone, which is why i hate that feeling so much. But it's just kind of human nature. 

Here's to the many good times to come for you and your son! Enjoy them as much as you humanly can. :)

  I get that.  You'd give anything to have your son in a coma right now let alone a son with a tumor in his leg that the Dr all but said while we can be surprised, this thing is benign.  I get that feeling of envy or whatever it's called.  I felt it, and my son was basically fine.  I'm afraid I would hate everyone who wasn't miserable for a long long time.  

 I've watched people who have lost loved ones from disease, and the progression of what they would be willing to accept to have their loved one live reveals just what is important.
