That would a terrible thing to experience - the mother's loss and the healer's as well. Well done!

Namarie, God bless, Antane :)

Dear Linda: I don't recall reading "Restoration" or "Unshed Tears" before now, but both are up to your usual quality of fiction. "Unshed Tears" demonstated that even a hero does not always triumph. As for "Restoration," IMHO that might very well be the best drabble of this collection. A Phoenix is a particularly apt metaphor for Faramir. Not only is it a legendary bird that arises from the flames, as you have indicated, but as I recall, it rises even more beautiful than before. Besides, as you had Prince Imrahil observe, it is very good to see Faramir happy--and receiving a certain degree of recognition for his efforts, at last! Thank you for writing and posting these. Sincerely, Darkover

And such a worthy one he has proved.

Very nice, gotta love a happy Faramir and an appreciative king.

Ached at the plea of Arwen to her father in the last one. He could have stayed but that would meant delaying reunion with Celebrian who he had been sundered from so long ago already, if only physically. This was indeed a costly choice for them both.

Namarie, God bless, Antane :)

I can so easily see this, Linda. Yes, to delay now is not to go at all, and he needs healing also, and the return to the comfort of his own wife.

I can definitely see Faramir as a Phoenix; rising from death, destruction and above all, fire...Nice drabble!

Author Reply: Many thanks for your much appreciated review. I'm pleased you liked this drabble. Faramir immediately sprang to mind when I saw the prompt!

Oh, this is so sad! :( If only they could all be together... :(
Beautifully written, Linda.

Author Reply: Many thanks for your much appreciated review. I'm pleased you liked this sad drabbles.It must have been so hard parting, knoqwing not even in the afterlife would they be reunited.

Yes; that's Faramir, struggling in darkness and then gladly rising with the King's help...Excuse me while I enthuse over the Faramir/Aragorn relationship, which began here.
