Oh, how tender and gentle this is ... I love it! I've always liked Imrahil and thought that amidst the war and almost certain doom, he had a particularly gentle spirit, as Faramir did also. Thank you for highlighting that here and giving a glimpse of your lovely vision of Frodo and Sam's resting place at Cormallen and the care they were given. I love Aragorn in this mode, too.

I'm currently dealing with this time period too, in a longer story, not yet posted. It's heavy at times. This peaceful scene was a special pleasure to read just now.

*sigh* Such love and concern and tender care.

Beautifully done. So nice to see this new story! I love all the little details, like the "roof" of leafy green to allow the natural light to soothe the healing ones' rest. I envisioned much the same thing when I wrote of Ithilien and Cormallen.

Author Reply: As I've said before, great minds tend to think alike! Heh! That the Master wrote of Frodo aware of leaves over him when he awoke has always intrigued me, and it must have been due to the sleepers needing natural light to feel secure.

Thanks so!

Am at my friend's place--will call you tonight.

Always love a new story from you. This is exceptionally tender and beautiful

Author Reply: So, today you have another! Heh! I'd originally written this for March 25th, but the site was down for me on that day. I posted it for Easter--a day late, I fear. Thanks so much for the response!

wow what a scene to write about- it's always so emotional to think of what the hobbits have gone through and what it took Aragorn to bring them back from the brink of death. :*(

Author Reply: I know. That the Master wrote that Frodo awoke under trees always has intrigued me.

a sky of clear blue such as had not been seen in this region of Gondor for most of his lifetime.

What a nice detail. And ohhh, what a gentle, peaceful, and loving scene. *happy sigh*

An early Happy Birthday to you, my friend! :)

Author Reply: How dark Ithilien must have been so much of the time. I'm certain that a clear sky so close to the walls of Mordor must have been a distinct relief to so many people.

Thanks, and I hope you enjoy my birthday mathom that's been posted today. Bless you!
