| Oh no, now Drogo's body has been found and Primula's is missing. I dread to have the news told to Frodo - will it be before or after his mother's body is found? Will he have the agony of losing his father but the desperate hope that his mother is still alive, only to have that hope dashed and have the pain double? Oh, I almost hope he wouldn't have that hope because it will be for naught. Perhaps both bodies will be found before he's told? I don't know what would be worse - losing one and hoping for the other or knowing both are lost right off. I do not look forward to going through that agony myself as I assume I will one day. I hope Bilbo rushes to his side and I hope somehow he will know that Sam is being born and that his Creator loves him. Namarie, God bless, Antane :) Author Reply: Thanks for reading/reviewing, Antane! As for your questions ... well, you're just going to have to continue reading. (And you've made me realize that I may need to tack on a formal Author's Note, for the next chapter posted will be the last of this particular tale. I think you'll understand that comment better once I've posted.) ~Elemmírë~ | |

| No! You can't leave us here! Please, please update soon! Poor Rory, so stunned with grief... God bless, Galadriel Author Reply: Hmm, to click on Publish or not to fo the next chapter? LOL! I will post the next chapter in a few days, Queen Galadriel. I want to give readers a chance to catch up and to dry their tears, however. Yes, Rory is very grieved, but as Master of the Hall and head of the Brandybuck family, he will force himself to remain strong in order to support his family ... and now one orphaned little Frodo Baggins. As always, thank you for reading. ~Elemmírë~ | |

| Absolutely the worst thing he would have to do, to accept his sister and her husband are now dead, and his young nephew now an orphan. Very grievous for all. And probably good we don't see the rest of the letter now. Author Reply: Just as Frodo would forever be haunted by the loss of his parents, I would think Old Rory would be just as affected. As Master of the Hall and head of his his large family, however, it was not for him to show his grief ... he had to remain strong for all those who looked up to him, including little Frodo Baggins who was now under his care. No, Rory will never, ever forget the shocking sight of seeing his beloved little sister and brother-in-law so; just as he will remember Frodo's reaction to the day he himself dies. Part of what I wanted to show through this tale was how the sudden, tragic loss of Primula and Drogo also affected those who loved them, and not just their son, which is often portrayed in fanfic. Aha! You caught onto my master plan! I figured this chapter was grievous enough without revealing the entire letter now. You will see the rest in the next and last chapter. Thanks for reading/reviewing, Larner. ~Elemmírë~ | |
