| I am personally touched by this most thoughtful of gifts. To remember his old crew would make Isengar so proud and humble at that moment! Delightful story twist. And am glad to think that Bilbo feels like he would be able to fly on the wind. Bless all the Bagginses and the one Took in the mix! Author Reply: Poor Isen... how could he go all the way through the grief process and emerge on the other side if even the mention of the Sea was prohibited, much less his memories of the ship that was his home for so long, and the crewmates that became his family? Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts. I really appreciate it. | |

| There are many who need to be remembered this day, it appears, many who were not from the Shire who yet touched the life and heart of Isen. I rejoice that Bungo has that special gentleness that allows him to empathize so with his brother-in-law and love in this way. Bless the four of them, the Bagginses and Tooks as they are, as they allow Isen to offer his memories back to the Sea from which they came. Author Reply: Beautiful sentiment, yes, "offer his memories back to the Sea" rings true. Bungo may not have grown up in this tradition, but he has the heart to understand and honour it. | |

| What a compassionate, and very moving gift. Dear Isen, he's seen worlds and lived events that only he will ever truly understand. Somehow the wildness of the wind was stirring the Tookish part of his blood I love that line. :) Author Reply: Thank you! I'm sure Bungo must have observed at least one Remembering Day at the Great Smials, perhaps more. He'd realise that the Tooks would not be likely to allow Isen to honour his lost crewmates... But a part of being able to move on from grief is to be allowed to grieve in the first place... | |
