Jobal,

Thank you very much for having me over. I really enjoyed being at your house. Your garden is absolutely fantastic! I've always wanted to have something like that but it's difficult to find the time one needs to put into a garden like yours.

And thank you for your kind words about my leadership. Sometimes it's difficult to hear that I'm doing a good job, especially when I don't feel I'm doing enough, but I really do appreciate it, especially coming from my mother.

You're right, it does take time and even a year later, I'm still have some difficulty coming to terms with everything. But I'm really glad to have gotten to know you, my father, and my sister. I have to say that having a sister, especially an older one, is something I never thought I would have but getting to know Sola has been one of the best experiences of my life.

I still cannot imagine how difficult the sacrifice you made must have been. I know I must make difficult sacrifices for my career but I cannot imagine having to make the one you made. That being said, I doubt I will ever have time to marry and have a family. Once I'm old enough, I'd like to be a Senator as well and I just don't see how I'll ever be able to balance the two.

Please keep in touch. I really enjoy hearing from you.

Your daughter,

Padme
