From Ami to Ani: Letter 1
by Bria
March 1, 2001


Dear Anakin,

I watched Obi-Wan take Luke away today. It is for his own safety. Talk about having your heart ripped out of your chest. Damn you Anakin! You and I made that beautiful little boy together, and now because of you, I had to kiss him goodbye this morning. Can you possibly understand the anguish of giving your son up so that he can be protected?

No, of course you don't. You don't even know Luke exists. You can't because you abandoned me and you abandoned our love. Was I the only one who meant "to death do us part?" I thought I knew you so well. I thought I had found someone I could trust my heart with. You spoke of fate, of destiny, and I believed what you said. I should hate you Anakin. After all I have been through, I should have that privilege.

But guess what. I can't hate you. I can be angry, very angry, but I could never hate you. I meant what I said when I said "I do."

I hope that I will see the day that you come back to the light. I know that the good man I feel in love with is there, hiding behind the image of Vader. He was of the light, and darkness cannot destroy him. One day our son will get the chance to attempt to save you. How I wish he can succeed where Obi-Wan failed. Then I can see you, my beloved Anakin once again.

Love eternally,
Padmé Amidala Skywalker
