Pam,

I think I may miss it when they have all set up independent households 
and others have been trained to take my place.  But don't tell 
anyone...'cause some will say I'm getting soft.  Next thing you know 
I'll admit to having friends among the beaurocrats and trades people.  
There is no end to the calamity and misery that might result.  A 
imbalance in the Force of serious proportion!
