At the end, when I felt I had surpassed [Eleanor] in every way, it seemed as though there was something she was still trying to say to me… She was trying to tell me, I just could not hear her, about what is truly important… You are the bravest person I have ever known. The truest person I have ever known.
And I betrayed you and it sickens me. I am so sorry for working so hard to protect the wrong things. For failing to see that there is nothing important that does not include you.
