Dane went on to explain that he wanted to share four final lessons he had learned from his illness and asked them to listen closely.

‘First, live now, right now in the present. It's hard, but I learned to do that,’ Dane said.

‘He is our family. He is your father,’ she told them after Dane revealed his diagnosis in April.

‘We show up, and we try to do it with some dignity and some grace and just get through it.’

Still, she admitted at the time that her relationship with Dane was ‘super complicated.’ 

‘We’ve been separated for eight years. The kids live with me 100 percent of the time,’ she explained. 

'There’s been lots of just stuff, other stuff, but I try to stay optimistic about it all.’

‘I’m trying to learn from it and [be a] role model for them [for] how to go through something like this, which is really hard,’ she added. 

‘I don’t know if I’m doing it well or if I’m doing it in the wrong way or the right way. I’m just showing up. I’m showing up, and I’m trying to be there for them. I guess time will tell.’
