Anakin,
The flag ceremony was pretty good, wasn't it? I saw 3PO out there holding your flag. I half expected you to have asked Padme to do that...
No, Qui-Gon isn't you're father, and you have no idea how much I wish a man like that was. I would rather not talk about it. I know you really wish to know, but I hope you can respect my decision not to tell you.
Don't worry Annie, Padme is perfectly safe. She's right here next to me, sick with worry (much like me).
Please be careful Annie! You're very brave and generous, but they're not going to want you to get hurt. I know you want to help, but please don't take any dangerous risks! You should trust you're feelings if Qui-Gon says so as he knows a bit more about this 'Force' thing than I do, but we don't want to see you get hurt.
It's good to see you're paying attention to what Qui-Gon has been telling you. He's a very wise man, and I'm grateful he's been taking you under his wing. I want you to listen to what he tells you, because by the sound of it it's really important.
I'm going to take it that you are truely in love with Padme. I've never seen you so excited about another girl like this before. You're even mentioning marriage!
Please be careful out there Annie, just becuase you haven't died yet (thank God!) doesn't mean you won't get seriously hurt or worse. You have no idea how much it scares me when you race.
I find the whole blood test thing rather strange as well. I know that you can get some bad diseases from rusty metal and things like that, but a blood sample seems a bit like overkill to me. I don't know, perhaps you're ment to get them done when that happens, and Watto hasn't given us any because he's being cheap as usual. It just seems odd.
I can see the pods starting up. Promise me Anakin that you'll be careful! I'll die if you get killed out there! Promise me that you won't take any stupid risks. I know I'm repeating myself, but I'm so scared.
Please be safe.
Shmi
