Gildor named Sam! :D

The road to follow is uncertain for us all. I do think that you shall enjoy it nonetheless.

Not all of it, but overall, certainly. :)

Lovely chapter.

Author Reply: Thanks Indy! I thought that Gildor naming Sam would be a nice touch!

What a lovely beginning and certainly an interesting take on Sam's birth that I have not read before. I love Gildor's words to the little babe. And the ending.

Namarie, God bless, Antane :)

Author Reply: Thank you Antane for leaving such a kind review. I figured that of all the hobbits, Bilbo would not be stressed out of having an elf on his doorstep!

So, Gildor Inglorion is the first to meet young Samwise Gamgee, eh? Nice beginning for one of our favorite of Hobbits!

Author Reply: It couldn't have been more special for our plain looking Sam!

*SQUEE!!* Now this is a marvelous beginning! I certainly did not expect you to start all the way back at Sam's birth!

And I love the idea that he was named and blessed by an Elf! That would so account for his lifelong fascination with them!

Author Reply: *squees with you* When you made your personal request, that idea immediately popped in my head, remembering why Sam - even pre-quest - was so fascinated by the elves and then I thought... why not take the challenge a tad further, an elf many generations apart helps Sam during his first hours on Arda. I nam trying to cover the important milestones in his life where there was interaction with an elf, just written in a kinda gapfiller style. I am so glad that you like it!
