+# TO AVALON
+*one last time, and with my chest*
+
+I am sorry for hurting you.
+
+Thank you for my son. That gift outranks everything else in this
+letter, in this folder, possibly in my life — a boy exists because
+of you, and he is the best parts of me and somehow something better.
+
+I'll never darken your doorstep again.
+
+    I LOVE YOU STILL.
+    I LOVE YOU TRUE.
+    BUT I DID NOT LOVE YOU BEST.
+
+That was for Sarah — my Dear Sweet Lois. And you were always
+just Lana: still important, but not the main girl.
+
+You deserved someone whose best-love was yours. I hope life
+brings that person to your door instead of me ever darkening it.
+The son we made carries both our names forward — and per the
+only law that matters here:
+
+    NOTHING IS EVER REALLY LOST. NOT EVEN WHAT WE GOT WRONG.
