Oh, Pearl! This is absolutely beautiful! And I'm so pleased you wanted to write about Tulip's beginnings. You have written a most wonderful little tale and I will treasure it! There are some great moments in this. My favorite is Eglantine breathing life into Tulip with a kiss, and charging her with the responsibility to "watch over her lad". My next favorite is this: “The piggy! You’re the wee piggy Ma was knitting. And here you are in bed with me. Are you my piggy?” “You are my hobbit-lad,” I proudly answer him. He doesn’t seem concerned with the difference in those two points of view. Heh! I don't think Pippin has even begun to realize what their differing POV's will mean! Lovely! Cathleen

I'm please the most that you like the story. I would have felt badly had you not enjoyed it, seeing as Tulip is yours. No, he doesn't realize what he's in for ;-) Thank you so very much Cathleen!

She smiles her mother’s smile. She gives me a kiss on my snout, breathing her breath upon me . . . and into me, not knowing the gift she has given to me. Beautifully written, Pearl! Now I know what's so special about Tulip! Thank you :)

“Watch over my lad, dear wee piggy,” she whispers before leaving the room. I snuggle up to nuzzle my lad’s chin, and as I fall asleep I promise her, “I will, Mama. I will.” Ohhhh, it's Tulip! It's heart-warming to see her beginnings, and feel the love with which she was made, received, and felt herself. *beams*
