As I sit here in my seat, and I read the panels around me, I cannot believe that this is happening. I have always wondered what I would do if this happened to the ship, but now, I'm not sure what to do. I can only write this last letter, and hope that you read it in your hearts.
Lwaxana Troi, my love, and my Imzadi, I love you with all my heart and soul. My whole mind is dedicated to you, and I will miss you greatly until the day we embrace once more. I remember your smooth words, and your high-life ways. This makes me laugh to myself now, and it also makes me cry tears of cool sorrow. Your face is written in my heart forever, and I want you to know that nothing can separate us- not even this temporary distance we hold.
Lwaxana, I also want you to be reassured that I will watch you everyday, right alongside our angel, Kestra. I am so sorry for failing you that day, and I have tried to spend the rest of my life repaying you for that. When I die, I also want my funeral to be a happy event, one with all our friends and family gathered. You and Deanna stick together through this, okay? I don't want anything to happen between you guys. Make sure Hommes doesn't get too domineering! I smile when I write this. Also, make sure he also knows that I have appreciated his help greatly.
Lwaxana, there is not too much to say. I know that we will see each other soon, and I want you to never give up the hope of this. I also want you to always love Deanna, and to always remember our promise of marriage and Imzadi.
Deanna, my little angel, I have always loved you, and I always will. You are precious to me, and you will see me one day again. I will take you in my arms in heaven, and you will be my precious little angel .You already are, and I want you to be happy for the rest of your long life. Always love your mother, and obey her. I know you will. And always be loyal to whatever commitments you make. I know when you are older, you too will have a love, and maybe even some children of your own.
My little angel, I hope you understand all this. This can be very hard, for you are still so young, but I don't want this to slow your life either. It is okay to cry, I want you to be the best Daughter of the Fifth House you can be. Remember this: Whatever path you take, you will always be loved by your Mother and I. And when you feel lonely, just look over your shoulder. Or, when you want to sleep, sing the tune of our favorite song. Remember? Down in the valley, the valley so low. Hang your head over, and hear the wind blow. Hear the wind blow dear, hear the wind blow. Hang your head over, and hear the wind blow.
The ship is becoming so shaky now that I cannot write further. I just want you all to know all this…and farewell until we meet again.
Ianandra Troi
