The QuiGon and Shmi Letters

by ArwenMUC

Shmi asks Qui-Gon to watch over Anakin and to protect him during the events of TPM. Qui-Gon and Shmi then become friends as they discuss the events that Qui-Gon and Anakin are facing.

22. Conclusion Shmi's thoughts

Conclusion:

After learning of Qui-Gon's death Shmi reflects on her friendship with the Jedi.

It is too bad that Qui-Gon did not have the chance to train my son. I know that he would have done what was best for my son, always protecting him while training him properly. I told Qui-Gon that I would be all right if Anakin were trained by his apprentice, and I do trust Obi-Wan. It is just that this was not what I had expected. I thought Anakin would be with Qui-Gon. Obviously, this was not meant to be. He will be trained by another.

I did appreciate the talks with Qui-Gon. He was a very wise man…..and I'm sure he will be missed. It is a sad loss for the Republic, but life must go on.

I will never forget the kindness that Qui-Gon showed towards my son, and the freedom that Anakin gained through his friendship.

There is nothing more for me to say. I will always think of Qui-Gon with fondness. I will forever remember the time that he spent in my home.
