So touching. Throughout the whole thing, I kept wondering what Faramir felt when he read the letter, years later. Did he carry it with him into war? Did he keep it in a safe place? Was the letter lost during battle? I know that this is just my silly imagination running wild, and I *never* do this, but... would you consider writing a follow-up? This letter just raised a whole host of possibilities in my mind. It was a powerful bit of writing. Thank you.

Very interesting! I think I detected a note of bitterness in Finduilas's voice, which would not be at all inappropriate, but is usually absent from portrayals of her. And I felt she gave Faramir a little guilt along with her support, longing and love. A few pennies in the therapy jar for the youngster, I'd imagine.
Yes, a follow-up from Faramir's point of view, and dealing with the fate of the letter itself would be very interesting, but I don't do follow-ups to my peices either, so ...

Lovely, emotional and beautifully crafted as a piece of writing. Fabulous job!

Nicely done. I am sorry I cannot think of anything original, I agree with the others. I, too, would like to see a follow-up. Maybe years later. When in between battles. Or after his father has been unreasonable to him. Or even on the eve of his wedding. Or maybe a collection of all these memories. Hmmm, now I want to go write a story. LOL
