Aaron, this is such a healthy perspective. "Our best" is always different on different days. One day, it may be 110%, and another, only 60%, because we have so many factors in every day that determine our best. Life can be hard and cruel, but I know that you love Lucas, always have, and that he knew that every day.

Even just writing about these events and naming why I didn’t make the decision that seems obvious now has helped to ease the regret.

Beautifully articulated. Regret might be one of the hardest things we contend with on the journey called life and your exploration here is both healing and illuminating.
