I never got the chance to say this to your mother, so at least let me say it to you. I thought that I knew best. Truth be told, lying here in this chair, dying, fluids draining from my body and it's an animal apocalypse that I may be partially responsible for, I still think that I know best. That's my arrogance. The same arrogance that assured me that I could save all of us, that you and your mom would finally understand and come back to me. But instead I almost lost both of you. Jackson, I thank God that I finally had the chance to make it right. If not with your mother, then at least with you.
