Beautiful!

I have always wondered what life it would be like for Bilbo and frodo in the Undying Lands, and more if Frodo did ever heal. I hope and hope. I felt really depressed about his plight, and sympathized with his burden... I am still astonished by it! I can never really disclose how I feel, but I am still in awe. The purpose behind Frodo becoming the Ring-Bearer is a wonderful wisdom, and how much he sacrificed out of the nativity of love is a marvel. That is why I hope he will know his greatness in his small being. And I have always imagined what it would be for Sam then, if he did ever get there in time to be reunited with his master. But that mystery remains hidden, but I am glad that was kept that way: vague it may seem for most, but an inner light feeling for those who can see. I love it, how you explore these situations. You have grace in your story. I simply love it. What more stronger impression is there but the word Love? Yes, I shall repeat it again and forever brand it in my heart: I love it.

Author Reply: Thank you so much for your very kind comments (or maybe that should be Merci beaucoup) :) Always nice to find a new fan and one so appreciative too! :) *hugs* You honor me with your comments and I'm so glad you enjoyed it! You will find other stories of life in the West if you continue to wander around my stories...

Namarie, God bless, Antane :)

Oh Antane, this is so beautiful and all the little homely touches, like Sam being comfortable to snore, make it perfect.

A wonderful reunion. Frodo and Sam are now both renewed and have full reason to rejoice.

Author Reply: Hannon le, my dear Larner! I see you have your own reunion now and I can't wait to read it!

YAY! Another story! I LOVE IT!!!! I hope to see many more adventures in that book, too! I almost cried, this was so happy! I love the different ways people write Sam and Frodo's reunion. You must have done alot of reserch on the Quenya parts. That was a very nice touch.
God bless,
Ellie

Oh, Antane! So much joy, so much wonder, so much love, and...it's all so palpable, as if I were there, experiencing these things or watching this surpassing joyous reunion! I have no idea why it is so exhilerating, but it is. Now I really feel as if I could sing (and dance and laugh and cry), and there's nothing for me to do with all this sudden adrenaline now except to be poetic. I love Galian! And him trying to calm Frodo down sufficiently for the Hobbit to remain on the dock until the ship arrived was a little reminiscent of certain discussions had between a certain delightful, loveable young Took and a certain affectionate Baggins or Brandybuck cousin. :) :) The teasing banter between elf and Hobbit was delightful!

And oh, how I love the reunion of Frodo and Sam, so long awaited and anticipated! It couldn't possibly be better! I could tell you in detail everything I love, but I'd just be quoting everything right back to you. :) My favourite scenes, though, were at breakfast and at the very end, when the two are again sleeping side by side. I checked out CoE, and wow! you really did your research! If I could, I'd have reviewed this chapter entirely in Quenya, but I wanted to review now, and it will take a while to learn. Just wait, though. I'm going to fall to Sindarin as soon as ever I can. Anyway, I just love the gentle, brotherly teasing about winning and losing arguments--hmm, sounds familiar LOL--and the mingled Quenya and Westron was lovely. I can't wait to see Sam's reaction to finding out what that last phrase means! LOL! I'll warrant he'll pretend to have none of it, but he'll have to laugh at Frodo's returned mischief.

I absolutely cannot wait for more! But now I'm off to write my song of joy while I'm bursting with it! Le hannon, mellon nin, le hannon for this wonderful, wonderful beginning!
God bless,
Galadriel
