| Oh, meldenya, this chapter made me cry but it also made me smile through my tears. It has been ten years since my mother unexpectedly passed away and I found, as Faramir will that the hurt does go away thought the love and memories do not. I still imagine my mother sitting next to me during special occasions and it comforts me to know that she is still here in that way. Mithrandir's fireworks must have been spectacular and I'm sure they will be fond memory for Faramir later on in his life. Beautifully written, as always. Eru bless! Edlyn Author Reply: I still terribly miss my mom and sometimes the pain is almost as sharp... especially when I look at my grandbaby and think she will never know the woman who was so wondrous... It does comfort me too - but my mom was funny and brilliant - she said she would harangue God not to let anyone 'disturb' her peace *ROTFL* - but I still call her occassionally and whine! I am trying not to 'go overboard' with Faramir's remembrances - but none of us is immune to the pain of loss and, as you said, it still is with us, though not as sharp, even after many years pass... Poor Faramir just lost his father and his brother but a short year ago... And his mother only a year before that! Bless you for your kind words!!! | |

| I don't think the loss of loved ones is a feeling that ever goes totally away. Indis' strenght and wisdon is just what Faramir needs at this time. Their shared sowrrows will only strenghten the bond they share. I hope nothing happens to her in her attempt to catch the traiters, which I have no doubt she will do. Author Reply: She is definitely going to try, Tari... and, if you noticed, she is definitely planning on being in the party that goes out against them - none of this sitting home in the Citadel! Faramir will be with Thorongil - and hopefully well protected! Thanks for your comments! | |

| I'm glad Gandalf is there to distract and advise, and his veiled warnings against the use of the Palantir is excellent. Am glad they are all able to be joyful part of the time. Yet they still miss those who have left them. Wonderful imagery here. Author Reply: Many thanks... though this season is wonderful - the friends and loved ones who have passed on can certainly dampen the joy.... I felt badly writing this at this time of year - but it is the truth for both Indis and Faramir... their losses are grievous... As for Gandalf... I'm afraid for Indis... | |
