I decided to wait till this story was finished to read it but it seems very interesting thus far. I've read all your other ones too, and I'm a bit slow but finally realized that Remembering Day is on All Souls Day. That's cool. Anyway, I love the stories, all of them.

Author Reply: Don't know if this is a good email address for you or not since you reviewed so long ago, but I didn't see the review until today when I was hunting for something! So sorry about the delay in replying!

Anyhow, thanks so much for the encouraging feedback.

The Woodcarvers are wonderful. I love your hobbit tradition of setting candles adrift - I did that with my Girl Scout troop as a child and it was amazing (even if the little holders kept capsizing!). Is this tradition a hint to the days when Smeagol's people, the ancestors of the Stoors, lived along the river?

I have been reading this one and it gets more interesting with each new chapter. The little boats with their candles sound like such a lovely tribute and remind me of the luminaries that are lit here for those that have died of cancer suring our yearly walk for cancer. I could picture all of the little boats floating in the water. You discribe it so well.

Author Reply: Thank you! I appreciate the review. The luminaries sound beautiful, and sad somehow. I've lost grandfather, father, aunt, and brother to cancer. I have used "Remembering Day" in several stories, and it is beginning to seem the most natural thing in the world. Wonder what people would do if anybody set floating candles on the river for real?

Have been enjoying (in an angsty kind of way) Pippin's knock on the noggin in your current story. Hope he gets his memory back soon... poor Merry!
