The reminders of our own mortality often take us by surprise when they should not. At least he knew how to reassure her. He does love her, after all.

Author Reply: Many thanks for your much appreciated review. Faramir is indeed a sensitive man and a great husband.

Awww, this was really lovely! Even though Éowyn's fear isn't entirely ungrounded, I loved Faramir's declaration of love, after many years together.

Author Reply: Many thanks for your much appreciated review. I'm delighted you enjoyed this story. Faramir is a sensitive man and a loving husband.I don't see Eowyn as all that old in the story, as I got a few grey hairs quite young!

Worried over a few grey hairs? Some of us have a head full of them.

Eowyn:Yes, but at your age it is a different matter. I am glad I have Faramir.I will not be troubled any more by this matter.

Arwen: I am glad for that.

Aragorn: I am as well.

Denethor: A few grey hairs does not diminish love.

Gandalf: But there are other things that do.

Faramir: That there is and I do not believe they will happen to Eowyn and I.

Denethor:I would not be so sure. Had I been there, I would not have allowed the union of you and this...wild woman of the North!

Aragorn: Please do not start. I will not allow you to.











Author Reply: My Lord Steward, Faramir has asked me to tell you that Eowyn is the joy of his life and to please be respectful of her, She is still only young and entitled to complain if she gets a few grey hairs.This chronicler is pleased that the Lord Steward is still reading her stories.

Eowyn's fears are very real to her, and he didn't laugh at them... he simply loved her. This is a very sweet and soothing scene.

Very sweet and well done story. Eowyn's concern about her hair is realistic. Blondes do not grey well. The colors clash and turn your hair muddy. Equally realistic is Faramir's love! Hair color is meaningless.

Author Reply: Many thanks for your much appreciated review. I'm pleased you liked this story. Faramir is a great husband.I'm dark haired or rather I was, so don't have much experience with blonde hair.

I can sympathise here - I don't feel old until I look in the mirror and see the wrinkles and the strands of grey! LBJ

Author Reply: Many thanks for your much appreciated review. I know that feeling of looking in the mirror too!
