love at first sight, always knew they fell hard for each other and not in a sexual way (at least not first) they are so good to and for each other, thank you for this early view of love.

I think I already left a review to this, but this is definately worth a second read -- and perhaps a third and fourth! YOu do Gaffer Gamgee so well. And sweet little Frodo. I love the way you write! Namarie, mell min! God Bless, Frodo Baggins

I hadn't seen this over at FF.Net and was delighted to read it here. What a thoroughly heart-warming story. Good writing always pleases me and your consistent, well-thought out use of the Gaffer's first person 'voice' was just wonderful. And the visual images you created through your descriptions! Young Frodo curles up holding baby Sam - somehow it makes that later close relationship so much more real. I thought you detailing of young Frodo's grief at the death of his parents beautiful, and him getting into a fight over the insults of a much larger lad perfectly in character. "Fluff" always seems to me to be a condescending term - when a story leaves you warmed and sniffling and happy it deserves a higher acclaim.

How touching! Very nice story. I like how it was told from the Gaffer's POV. That gave a lot of personality to the story. Very cool! *skips off to read more of Tathar's stories*

Thank you! I'm very fond of the Gaffer -- he's a bit neglected, I think. :)

Oh, I'm so glad I found this story. Your dialogue is wonderful and I can just picture Frodo cradling baby Sam. Thank you. Helen
