Nostalgic Memories

"Mr. Frodo! Mr. Frodo!" The little voice piped like a whistle through the golden afternoon, and he looked up in time to see the bright-haired faunt running toward him, arms outstretched. He caught the lad in mid-leap, and found himself caged in small limbs, and his lips pressed in a warm kiss, loudly released. He smiled, dazed and a little taken aback at Hobbiton manners. Not something Merry would have done, that.

"It's so fine that you're back, Mr. Frodo!" Sam squeaked. "I'm sorry I wasn't here when you arrived." The child hugged him again, and Frodo laughed.

"You must tell me everything that has happened since I saw you last," Frodo said, as he set Samwise down, and the boy quickly took his hand. He began with the birth of the new calf as they started up towards the Hill, the sunlight warm upon the grass.

This is a lovely tribute to a beautiful picture done by a sweet artist who should never have been attacked for her work. Thank you for writing it, and for using that beautiful icon.

You're welcome. I just couldn't let this one pass by, and I think wee Sam was rather indignant at the things that were being said about him and his Mr. Frodo. ;)
