Farrah Fawcett tugged at the heartstrings of America on Friday night by reading out a letter she'd written to her troubled son Redmond as part of a two-hour TV documentary chronicling her ongoing battle with cancer.The actress has spent the past three years fighting anal cancer, and pal Alana Stewart has been capturing her visits to specialists in Germany as well as touching moments as Fawcett comes to terms with the fact she could be close to death.
The home video footage made up a large part of Farrah's Story, which aired in America on Friday.
And one emotional moment has already emerged as the tender high point of the film - as Fawcett opens up about a letter she wants Redmond to read after her death.
Fighting back tears, the ailing Charlie's Angels star reads, "I will always be there. When you fall I will be there.
"When one day, you wake up and realise that I'm gone; I will still be there. Always. Always with you, forever in you, Redmond, my boy."
Redmond entered a year-long rehabilitation program last month in a bid to have two drug possession charges against him wiped off his record. If he fails to complete the rehab stint, he faces up to four years in prison - following arrests in September and April.
Farrah's son has promised to stay clean for his mother.
On Friday, the actress' longtime companion Ryan O'Neal revealed Fawcett is sedated as she is in so much pain. He hoped to wake her so she could see the TV special on Friday night.
