What an exquisite story. Poignant, heart-rending, ultimately wonderfully *real.* Truly a beautiful vignette. Thank you for writing it!

Exquisite. Evocative. Human - or should I say hobbit-like. Neatly and empathetically conjours up the back story through the youthful POV. It spoke to me. thank you.

Spectacular. I can think of no other words to describe this lovely, lovely piece of writing. Fits perfectly the characters and the one doing the telling.

Thank you so much for sharing!

This is wonderful. You've captured the inquisitiveness of a child and portrayed the child-like fear at finding that some folk tales are very real. You told the tale very well from a young girl's point of view, showing Merry through her eyes. Excellent job.

Oh, marvellous! Very true to character and a delightful read. Brought a tear to my eye too. I always loved stories about the last days of Merry and Pippin. So sad and yet so right an end. *sob* You have done a masterful job!

Our Merry would be proud to know that his story is in such capable hands. I myself bow to you *bows*. This is a lovely story and you seem to have mastered the character beautifully. Thanks for the joy!! :}

What a lovely tale, and one I'd have missed if it hadn't been featured on the front page. I liked the way you included Merry's scar on his forehead.

Oh my...Lovely, beautiful, heartbreaking story! I know that feeling...of being the only girl (or in my case simply the oldest, though also one of only 2 girl granchildren) and that special bond with a grandfather. Smile smiley face

Your prose was just that, truly poetic and beautiful, perfectly capturing the mood and the dailiness of life, especially life as a child.

Beautiful, beautiful story.

And the ending...those who sailed too soon...That shore can be an awfully cold and lonely place...but there is always the hope of what or more truly who, lie beyond the farthest horizon.

Incredible story... Smile smiley face
