| Oh that is much better Dreamflower. It made some sense when I first read it but not much. This is great and what a poignant ending. Author Reply: You must have tried to read it when the formatting was messed up! I'm glad that I figured it out--I don't usually check the story after I've posted it, but I did this time, thank goodness! | |

| Aw, that was adorable! I loved all the misspelled words in Merry's letters. This one was my favorite: "He is butifal bueteful beuatifl very nice looking." And the last few sentences were so heart-wrenching.:( Nicely done! :) Author Reply: I'm glad you liked the misspellings. The formatting of them gave me fits, so I am very happy they were worth all the effort! LOL! Frodo's parting from his younger cousin, who was really his foster brother, had to have been extremely heart wrenching. Thank you so much for stopping by to review! | |

| Did I recently told you how much I adore your Frodo/Merry stories? They are lovely. Merry's letters are just too adoreable! He is Aww... dear Merry! I know his pains :) “Forgive me, Merry, but I cannot stay,” Those are exactly the words Frodo uses in my German story when leaving Buckland. Oh, it must have been so terrible for both of them to be parted... again... Author Reply: Yes, you've mentioned it. I really do love writing about them when Merry was little. Ah, the misspellings! I hesitated, for I knew that technically speaking, he'd have been writing in Westron, not English, but I thought that it would give the idea, anyway. I think their parting must have been a wrench. The other day, I was listening to one of my favorite old folk songs, "The Water is Wide (I Cannot Cross O'er)" and thinking of how much it applied to Frodo and the Grey Havens, and I got to thinking about Merry: water separated him from Frodo not *twice* but *three* times in his life--when Frodo moved across the Brandywine to Bag End; when Frodo went across the Anduin to Mordor; and finally when he went over the Sundering Sea to the Blessed Realm. | |

| Ohhhh, this is so bittersweet and loving and gentle and *sigh* These are just perfectly written from a little lad's POV. Author Reply: Thank you so much--that is just the mood I was looking for. I really wanted them to sound like Merry would have at that age. He's a bit precocious--Frodo taught him his letters rather early, but he's still only little after all. | |

| Oh Dreamflower, these old letters are so cute! Little Merry has missed 'his' Frodo terribly, that is obvious, and it's so sweet he wrote so many letters. Merry was quite small back then, after all! And every one expressed his love for Frodo and that he can't wait to see him again. Um ... to be honest, concerning packing too early I'm not much better. When I got my dream holiday in Iceland some years ago, I had to hold myself back or I'd packed two weeks before the departure. In the end most of my belongings were packed some days before *blushes* Author Reply: I am glad that you liked them. I was trying to convey Merry's loneliness for Frodo. *grin* Well, it just shows how much you have in common with Merry, who is notorious for planning ahead. | |
