5. Celeborn
I am happy that Aragorn and Arwen have found peace and happiness at last. My wife stands at my side, no doubt memorising every detail of the day to relate to our beloved daughter in Valinor.
Ai Celebrian, still the thought of her contains so much joy and pain. She was the light of my life from the moment she was born, delighting me with all that she did. But then we lost her to the orcs and she was never the same. It is my fervent prayer that one day I shall make the journey to Valinor and once again see my daughter joyful, restoring that missing piece of my heart.
But at least I have that hope. With his day Elrond loses all chance of once again seeing his daughter for she will now be mortal and will wither away once her love has departed this earth.
The peredhil has lost many in his life and it is sad to see him struggle with his grief on such a happy day. He hides it well for the sake of his beloved Evenstar and Estel but for me it is clear to see for I once felt the same emotions.
Galadriel believes I should talk to Elrond and perhaps I will but it is hard to comfort once who faces the death of not one but two children at the same time.
