"Good things come to those who wait" it is said.
And this little story is very good.

Merry is right, Frodo would not have liked a big party. And I doubt that most of the hobbits would have understood what exactly was celebrated.
The travellers would have been forced to recount their quest and that would have been painful - not only for Frodo.

Little Elanor, however, arrived at the best possible day and made her uncle Frodo very happy :)

Oh! Oh how wonderful to see a new hobbit story from you! ((((hugs)))))

This was lovely-- Pippin, all earnestness and Tookish enthusiasm, wanting to see Frodo honored and properly acknowledged, and Merry, knowing Frodo just a little better, knowing that a big celebration is the last thing he would want on that day.

And at the end, it's Sam who's provided just the right thing to celebrate the day (with Rose's help, of course. *grin*)

This was truly delightful-- I've missed your stories!

Author Reply: ((hugs)) Thank you so much for this lovely response. I am so grateful to still have you reading and reviewing! I love your perfect sum-up of the story too. I have missed Hobbits lately and have just taken to reading LotR again so I'm definitely hoping to catch up on stories I've missed and maybe finish off some of the other fics that got abandoned. Thank you again so much for your support!!

Oh, I've missed you!

This is a lovely story, and a very creative idea.

Author Reply: Thank you so much, Shirebound! I have been nostalgic for my hobbitses lateley and hope to spend time catching up on what I've missed! Thank you again :D

Ah. March 25, and Frodo has the one gift he needs in Elanor. Yes, she is perfect! And it is TOO bad most Hobbits didn't care to know what really happened.

Author Reply: Yes it is! Thank you so much, as ever, for reading and for your comments. :D

Hi! This was sad and lovely, loved Pippin's little thoughts here, poor homesick little dear...but honestly I need you to email me. You've been nominated by me for a MEFA award and my message to you a ff.net must not have gone through. Do contact me, please?

Oh, this is so sweet! Lovesick Pippin! How could anybody not love that? Beautiful!

Oh, I love this story. I want to hug the stuffing out of it, which might sound distressing, but this really is so lovely. I absolutely love Pippin here, and poor Merry, suffering because there's been no word from Long Cleeve.

A moment later his face lit up and he beamed at Merry and laughed, and read on, reaching absently for a chunk of bread as he did so, and Merry grinned and kissed his cousin on the brow, sighing with relief that his cousin need not die of heartbreak, at least not today.

That? Is just love. I heartily approve.

A Pippin unable to eat for the sake of love is quite the image to think on.

This must be the third time or so I've read this one, and it is still charming and delightful, with Merry wondering if he can in the future direct Pippin while it's really the other way around from the start.

Such a normal baby!

A heartfelt plea, I can see. Lovely imagery, lovely realization about Aragorn's destiny and the difference between mortal and immortal grandmothers. Alas, Pippin--feels quite displaced, I can tell.
