Summary : Written for tolkien100 challenge Forget Me Not

Aragorn sank to his knees beside an unmarked grassy mound dotted with small blue flowers.

As a child, he had twined such flowers in his mother’s long dark braids.

Whenever he saw them, he was remained of her.

Long years had passed since Gilraen’s death and this was his first visit to her grave.

He wished he had seen her more often after she had left Rivendell to return to her own people in Eriador but his tasks had led him far away.

Now he sat now amongst the flowers and thought of her.

And finally allowed himself to grieve.

I love the image of a wee Aragorn braiding forget-me-nots into his mama's hair.
