Cancer diagnosis for someone close to you inevitably leads one to say "life's too short to...<blank>." I would know...I have exactly the same thing going on now, with a friend in his late 30s.
Those who are saying "don't hold a grudge" -- this doesn't sound like a grudge. It sounds like a lesson learned, and the OP moving on.
Life's too short to waste your time on unworthy people. Every moment you waste thinking about someone who discarded you, is a moment you can't spend being a better friend / husband / dad / son / community member / etc. to those people who have actually chosen to be a part of your life.
