But there are other wounds that no one can see that I have not, or will not, face, and I cannot go on with my life because of them.

Very interesting - realizing that perhaps it's his own unwillingness to face his pain that is keeping him from healing. You've made it that far, Frodo, now take a few more steps, dear - face the pain and start to release the hold it has over you.

Happy Thanksgiving, dear Elanor! I'm glad that today is a break from my fast so I can read this!

Namarie, God bless, Antane :)

Author Reply: Yeah, I've found some people are unwilling to face their problems in hopes that it won't hurt any more, but it only keeps hurting until they do face it. I've always found that thought fascinating...
Happy Thanksgiving, mellon nin!
God bless,
Ellie

Yes, some wounds never truly heal; and those who have such wounds get by as they can. There is strength in both these Hobbits, Frodo and Ellis--strength and the will to become more.

Author Reply: I'm glad you think so about Ellis! (Of course, we all know that about our Frodo!) I'm so glad Ellis is coming off so well, it's really difficult for me to add new characters to these stories! Thanks for reviewing!
God bless,
Ellie
