				SIONI'S LETTER


tALOFA: friends of my palangi, I am Sioni and I have come to tell you that
my beautiful palangi left me three days ago, I am so sad and lonely without
him.

I do not understand why he left me, I think it is because I did not love
him enough but I know I tried so hard for him.

Can you please tell me why he left me, I miss his gentle hands when he
stroked me all over and I miss his tender arms holding me when I am sad.

My beautiful palangi always my protector, my teacher who gave all to me,
how I miss the nights and days when his hands would caress me with soft
touches sending ripples over my skin as he gave his love to me, filling me
with his spirit and strength.

I have promised him never to sell our house so that I will always have his
memories close to me, oh my loveliest palangi why did you go?

We had only six years together and now I am alone in this bad world, I do
not know if I can go on without your gentle touch and soft words, your
caring nature that made me a man and a lover for you to be proud of.

Now many friends of my palangi it is time for me to go and do what must be
done, even though my heart is broken by his going this thing I do will help
me in the end.

The policeman said the truck driver will be charged for taking my beautiful
palangi from me, and now I must take this small box out to the sea and
spread the soul of my beautiful palangi on the waters so that I may everday
see him as I look out from our home and know he is there to protect me from
harm.

		Thank you all, friends of my palangi

				SIONI.



Authors Note:

	To all of you that followed Sioni on his travel through this his short
	story I say thank you and also for your many and I repeat many emails
	again thank you.

	I hope that this ending did not upset his followers but it only came to me
	as a flash in the middle of the night and so wrote it down during
	the forming of part eleven, yes I have hidden this secret for that long.

	Could this event in his life ever of happened, stop and think of those you
	know that have lost their loved one and answer for yourself.

	It is a cruel end for their love but he is a strong young man and he may
	again emerge in another story?????

	Again to all those readers thank you
