drabble For Aragorn's birthday... at the last minute!

March 1, 3019

Folk who live for centuries seldom celebrate birthdays, and the first of March meant little more to me than a reminder of all I have not yet accomplished since my mother died until Bilbo came to live at Rivendell. He cannot resist a birthday, his own or anyone else's, and knowing how things go among hobbits I have been glad to bring him pipeweed as thanks for the poems he bestows on me in September.

But of all the birthdays I have ever known, this is the one which has given me the gift I treasure most.

Gandalf is alive!

Great! (though I needed a few minutes to get the meaning of the last sentence. Imagine me sitting in front of my computer, musing:"...? Bilbo gave him... huh? Wait...March 1, 3019... where was... AH! NOW"! You see, at a quarter past six my brain is still glued with sleep and I'm a decided idiot. *grins*)

Oh. What a glorious birthday present that is! For Aragorn, and for us! Lovely, as always, and the last line, as always, stunning.

Can I still make a drabble request??
A Frodo and Aragorn interaction drabble (obviously gen, lol, since I know you're not an interspecies girl) from Sam's POV?

How delightful! I love the idea that Bilbo introduced Aragorn to the idea of birthdays, so that he would have been more familiar with the hobbit customs than that of Men. And then to end it thus. What a brilliant use of the Tale of Years!

Was that on his birthday? That *would* have been the most amazing present!

I love this.
