I don't think it's about a grudge, but a person who would treat me like that is not worthy of being my friend.
Given the situation, I would respond that I missed his friendship too, but that if that friendship was not worth saving to him, then there is no need to start it back up now.
It's not about teaching them a lesson or holding a grudge, but it's about what friendship is. Not everyone is worthy of being your friend.
We are all going to die, and we should all know and understand that. I don't get the notion of making amends with past mistakes because you "found out' you were going to die. You didn't know until this diagnosis that you were going to die?
