Cue 19:  Three pearls of wisdom.

 To the Beloved Son of my Heart

            What more can I say to you, Estel, Aragorn, Elessar?  Once again my own heart is torn as one I have loved so dearly chooses a different path from mine; but she has chosen and does not yet regret her choice.

            Yet, as she is so very happy, how can I ask her to do otherwise?

            Love your wife that she not grieve for what she otherwise has offered up.

            Love your children so that they never doubt that you loved them indeed.

            Love your people so that they will remember you always with honor.

            What else need be said?
