GamgeeFest's Keepsakes  by GamgeeFest 2 Review(s)

This is such a sweet tale, a love story in its own wonderful way. Love the idea of Sam sleeping under the tree and the care and solace he received and his sadness and hope and the delight of the tree - and ours - to see him smile.

Namarie, God bless, Antane :)

Author Reply: You're the first to suggest the hobbit was Sam, which I find fascinating. I had a hobbit in mind while writing it, but purposely didn't put a name, for really, how would the Mallorn know it? I do imagine that Sam would have taken comfort from his tree (and I do think he would consider it to be his) as he sought to understand his master's illnesses and especially after Frodo sailed. It could just as easily be either one. And it would have bloomed on Sam's (assumed) birthday too. :D Wonderful!

Oh, I rejoice that this comfort was shared with Frodo! Thanks so for posting this one!
