So lovely little story! So good they have each other❤️A few tearsr from my own heart escaped from my eyes from remembered losses in my life as I read this,older and newer ones alike. And as Elrond I sometimes get lost in thought and memory.I too take joy from my own son and we comfort each other. Thank you for the story. Best regards from Sweden

Sweet, although a bit young for a five-year-old.

Author Reply: Thank you, Larner, for reviewing!

In which way do you mean 'a bit young for a five-year-old'? Do you mean that Estel was too young with his five years to be offering this kind of comfort? Or do you mean the exact opposite - that you think his behaviour too 'young' for a child age five?

For both possible explanations of your comment, I would have the same answer: I work with five-year-olds and have a few of them living around here. In my opinion, if there is ever a vast difference in the development of children of the same age regarding the 'maturity' in their behaviour, then it must be among the five-year-olds.

As an author, this gives me great liberties. ;) However, I do not write anything that I have not once seen a five-year-old do

You are free to have your own opinion, though, and I thank you for leaving your praise and your criticism! It always helps, I appreciate it!

Have a great week!
