Ah--the perfect moment to realize just how much Celebrian will grieve for the reunion that won't come till the end of days, yet will understand perfectly that this is the proper choice for her daughter.

So much is written about Arwen and her father,I felt I wanted to explore her feelings foe her mother.

She's right. You love them and raise them - and let them go.

Celebrian wouldn't have wanted Arwen to deny her future for her past. I suspect she would have understood her choice far more instinctively than Elrond ever could. And that, once Elrond was reunited with her, she was better able than anyone to help him understand it.

I hope Arwen sent lots of messages for her mother with Elrond.

Quite touching. I, too, find Arwen to be a very interesting character and I am fascinated by the choice faced by her and her brothers. I like this idea that not only the love for Aragorn, but also the deep love felt by a mother for her child is more than enough justification for her choice.

Aragorn awakes beside me. He smiles at me, his eyes filled with adoration.

I have chosen rightly. My mother will understand.


That's beautiful. By choosing love and motherhood, Arwen feels even closer to her mother -- by being one -- than before.
