I love your description in here- indeed Rosie is glad her love has returned.

Author Reply: Thank you! It amazed me when I realized that Rosie knew Sam was coming home months before he actually arrived! She told him she'd been expecting him since the spring! (I chose to believe that somehow she was aware of the destruction of the Ring, even so many leagues away.)

*cheers* I love dramatizations of this moment! And I love your descriptions!
God bless,
Galadriel

Author Reply: Thank you! I like to think that the echo of the Ring's destruction rolled across Middle-earth like a wave. (I wonder if it was even felt in the Undying Lands?)

awwww how sweet! and i love your description! =)

Author Reply: Thank you!

Rosie is a delightful character. Tolkien gave her such a strong personality in such a little bit of description and dialogue!

Alas--six more months before the arrival, but he IS alive, remembering her, perhaps already thinking on how she holds his hope as he holds Frodo's.

Author Reply: That scene in the ROTK film on the side of the fiery mountain, Sam saying brokenly, "Rosie Cotton – she had ribbons in her hair..."

What a great little glimpse into Rosie`s thoughts! I don`t think I have seen anyone write about Rosie knowing that her Sam would come so long before he does. Thank you for sharing this!

Author Reply: Goodness, I was poking around and just saw this!

I think Jodancingtree wrote about Rosie's foreknowing in her marvellous story "Sam's Rose". If you haven't read it, you're in for a treat!

Lovely! It seems only fitting that Rose would have sensed something.

Author Reply: Thanks!

p.s. I haven't forgotten, I've just been sick as a dog the past few days and would rather sleep than do anything else.
