"It's a really infinite love," Kristin Sumbot says about the love she has for her son in a video created by jane.com. "He's a piece of my heart."

Two days before her due date, Sumbot heard the unthinkable. "You have a brain tumor." After being in remission from leukemia for five years, Sumbot was given a terminal diagnosis.

"I had these visions of being a mom and spending all this time with him. I want to take him to his first day of school. I want to be there when he comes home and gets off the bus. I want to be that kind of mom for him," she says.

And Sumbot has found a way to be that mom and to find happiness in her family, despite her diagnosis.
