This is just beautiful! I don't believe I've ever read a story about Ivorwen seeing her grandson as an adult, and you have truly captured the ambivalence she must have been feeling!

Thank you so much! I would never have thought of the idea had Shirebound not suggested it. It was a challenge to wrte Ivorwen, but I enjoyed it and was glad I managed to write a story after my dismal failure last month!

You caught this meeting between them wonderfully, as though you're showing a photo once taken and we're glimpsing what it captured.

[lindahoyland]

Thank you so much. I'm delighted it felt so vivid for you.

For a moment it seemed to Ivorwen that the boy had a shining gem upon his brow. His touch was warm and seemed to surge through every fibre of her being.

What a lovely description of this moment. Such a joyous and hope-filled reunion!

[lindahoyland]

Thank you so much and it is all thanks to you for the idea you gave me. Big hugs to you and Pi.

Quite the interesting scenario--I had never though about Aragorn's meeting his grandparents before. You wrote Ivorwen's character well, I thought, and the reunion itself was very sweet.

Thank you. I'd never thought of it either, but Shirebound gave me the idea.

Linda - you did a very good job with your quotation. I loved reading this.
