Yes, finally a child that grew up with both parents, as it should be!

Author Reply: And one of the major characters, too! Heh! Definitely Aragorn would have liked that thought.

You know Larner, there's really only one true way to review this and it's by doing this!!

AWWWWWWW!!!

*sighs happy sigh*

I'm having "issues" w/my computer and trying to get into/on LJ these days is next to impossible. I am getting so sick and tired of seeing "Website Can Not Be Found" whenever I try to access LJ. Especially since I miss all of you over there.

(((((HUGS)))))

Author Reply: I'm so glad you liked it. It must have been reassuring for Aragorn to know that his wife would most likely outlive himself, and thus their children would not know the grief known by so many.

Sorry LJ is being a pain to access--now and then my computer has refused to access anything but SoA, although now that I'm back on dial-up things are better in that way--a LOT slower, but more generally reliable.

Hello Larner,

ohmigosh ... I never fully realised it before, but Middle Earth's mums do seem to be dropping like flies, don't they?

Thank goodness for Arwen, Rosie and Eowyn (and Estella and Diamond), all ready to laugh in the face of fate and blaze a trail for mothers everywhere!

Beautifully poignant look at one orphan's promise to his newborn :)

M ;o)

Author Reply: Aragorn was at least a man grown when his mother died, but it appears she was never fully happy once he no longer needed her caring and she had time to reflect on her losses and the dangers facing him now that he wandered the known world. But to know that his children and most likely many grandchildren as well would know his Arwen must have been such a pleasant thought for him.

Thanks, M.

I am not a fan of drabbles, but this one I really like. The ending (last two paragraphs) is perfect. I love the promise Aragorn gave to his son, and also the way he said it. :)

Author Reply: I'm so glad, then, that your read it, then. Yes, his firstborn and later children will all know their mother until well into adulthood, as well as their children as well.

Thanks so, Ellynn.
