Happy Birthday! What a heartwarming and sweet story you've gifted to us. It's wonderful to be drawn back to the innocent, joyful times, and learn a bit more about this marriage.

Hello! Thank you for the Birthday Wishes. I am glad you liked the story. I have always felt that Denethor and Finduilas were a love match that had a tragic and short end and that explains much of why Denethor is the way he is and why he could never forge a positive relationship with his son.

It makes me laugh to think how radically different my opinion of Denethor and what my depiction of Eowyn in my many stories of Faramir thinks about Denethor. I think his is a tragic life full of misfortune and misunderstanding. My Eowyn hates him for how he treated Faramir growing up and that there is no reason for his actions. I guess it is all down to perspective. :-)

Be well and safe!
