| Oh, Merry... You know, I've always loved the affectionate nickname, "love" | |

| Aww! I don't remember this one either. I love your wee Merry and I'm so happy you linked to these :) Author Reply: Oh, I'm glad you liked it! I always figured most everyone has seen my stuff, but then I think--well, maybe they missed some of the earlier ones... | |

| That first night without his Frodo must have been the worst night of his life until the Quest. Poor little Merry. I'm sure Frodo missed him too. Author Reply: Yes, I think they missed one another dreadfully. In my Shire, Merry was actually visiting and staying at Bag End when Bilbo adopted Frodo, and it was not until he returned home without him that his loss truly struck him. | |

| Oh, poor little Merry! God bless, Galadriel Author Reply: Yes, poor Merry! And such a foreshadowing of his losing his cousin later. First he "lost" him across the Brandywine (the water), but was able still to see him and visit him--though the relationship would never be quite the same again. And then he lost him across another water, the Sundering Sea. | |

| Now this is just how I imagine Merry-lad would feel. I think I'll give him another hug or two now. When Frodo comes to Brandy Hall to visit, does he sleep in his old room? Author Reply: Yes, poor thing. It didn't really hit him until he got home. My Frodo does--Sara and Esme have saved it for him to use on his visits. | |

| Poor Merry! I'm always amazed when people write drabbles that they can fit so much into so few words. The description of the bareness of the room, made it very lonely. Author Reply: I was afraid of drabbles until I tried one, LOL! Now I love them. I'm glad you got the loneliness I was aiming for. | |

| O yes, I can clearly see this in my mind's eye, just as I saw Frodo trying to make Merry understand, in the middle of the night, in "Forever". Lovely. Author Reply: I could imagine little Merry wanting to go crawl in with Frodo, and he's not there...such a hard thing for him | |

| A grievous foreshadowing of the leavings yet to come. Thank you. Author Reply: Exactly. It was the first time poor Merry was left, but certainly not the last. | |

| Awww! Poor little Merry - I often wonder about that and think how upset he must have been when Frodo left Buckland. I just love these hobbits! *sigh* Thanks, Dreamflower. Author Reply: In my Shire, Merry was visiting Frodo at Bag End for a while at first (in my story "A Place for Gandalf"), so it didn't really hit him until he got home, and saw Frodo's bare room. And my little Merry was accustomed to climbing into bed with his cousin almost every night, something that must have been such a loss to him. | |

| *sniff* This is so sad... It reminds me of the way I felt when I went off to college, except there I was the one leaving. Your description of the stripped bed and the bare furniture really gets me... I like the way you didn't really give this a happy ending. It makes it much more real. *sniffles again* Blessings, Eruanna Author Reply: This is just the first time poor Merry gets left behind. That's what I tried to indicate with the title: he was seven the first time Frodo left him, and he was thirty-nine when he said good-bye at the Havens. | |
