Inspiration |
I’ve found so much to inspire me over the years. My father’s love of the gardens about Bag End inspired me to learn more about propogation and crossing strains. My mother’s love of books inspired me to read. My grandfather’s blood must have inspired me to seek to prove Gandalf’s boasts of me as an intrepid burglar and adventurer. But it is you, my beloved lad, who inspires me to be the best I can be—to be honest and courageous and patient and unstintingly generous. All it takes is one smile of delight from you, and I melt! |
