Chapter Twenty-Two: Freedom It’s gone, Sam, it’s gone at last. I woke up this morning and for the first time I didn’t hear the hated whisper from the Ring. It could last no longer here, not with so much light and strength and peace - all you tried to give me, all I wanted so badly to accept, but I couldn’t, not completely because it was still around me, still in me. But it’s gone now. It has let me go and I have let it go. I so long to see you again and to have you see me whole and healthy again. I don’t want your last memories of me to be of a broken soul. I am free now, dear Sam, I am finally free. I ran to the dark room as fast as I could fly and fell down on my knees before the red light and murmured my thanks to Iluvatar over and over again. I knew it was only through Him that I had been healed. Oh, Sam! I can't wait for you to discover Him too! * * * Something wonderful has happened, hasn't it, my dear? I felt it as I was waking, like the crest of a wave of joy breaking over me. I have not felt you so clear since you left like I did this morning. You felt clean if that makes any sense, even cleaner than you did a few months ago when I felt something like this too. You felt like you always did before the Ring came but even better. Is that it? Has it finally let you go? Oh, my dear, I can't wait to come to celebrate that with you! I hope you know somehow that I am celebrating right here, right now. Oh, thank the Powers! I could dance, in fact I think I will and I don’t care who thinks I’m cracked. I am cracked no more and neither are you! I love you, my treasure, so much.
