Oh, so VERY sweet. And love this silly but loving ritual. Very realistic.

Author Reply: Thanks! This is just how my mother would sometimes tuck me in as a little girl. She would say "goodnight" to eveything in my room, then pretend to leave wondering if she left anything out, which was my cue to say "Me!" She wouldn't play this little game all the time, so I never knew when to expect it, which makes it all the more sweet & endearing to remember now, years later. Glad you enjoyed!

I love writing from life experiences, and I love reading it when others do. This is so sweet! I just adore these quiet moments and little rituals, and the end couldn't be more perfect. :)
God bless,
Galadriel

P.S. I read "They Grow Up So Fast," but for some odd reason the link to leave a review isn't working for me right now (computers and their quirks...*sigh*) but I just wanted to tell you I found it very sweet and moving, from beginning to end.

Author Reply: I, too, love writing from real-life experiences--sometimes they show up as just a brief mention in my stories, other times they make a useful plot, like this one did. I find that incorporating my memories & experiences ensures that they will never fade away & will be there to share with others like yourself.

As always, thank you kindly for reading (both) & reviewing!
Namarie,
Elemmírë

Such loving scenes as this just melt me into a happy puddle! And my parents had a similar "ritual" for our bedtime.

*hugs you, wee Fro, and Beorn*

Author Reply: I got a Shirebound hug!!! Yippee!!!! (wee Frodo & Beorn help me to scoop Shirebound puddle up and send her to Gandalf and Elrond to be reconsituted ... so she can write more stories!)

I'm so happy you liked!
