Via Dolorosa or The Way of Sorrows  by Antane 4 Review(s)

Am getting behind in the reviewing - Sorry Antane. I love the way that various members of the Fellowship and especially Sam overcome their fears to aid Frodo. You also show this conflict between two loves/commitments so well. A situation we often face too.

Author Reply: Hantanyel for your review, my dear harrowcat, especially about the two equally fierce loves in Sam's life. I was wondering whether he was chomping too much at the bit to go West when he loves Rosie just as much, so your review helps resolve that doubt. :)

Namarie, God bless, Antane

The pain of the separation is great, but the anticipation of reunion will support the both of them.

Author Reply: Something and someone to look forward to always hopes get one through tribulations. Hantanyel for your continued support, my dear Larner - so appreciated!

Namarie, God bless, Antane :)

Ahhh, so your Sam can see/hear Frodo in the night also! Good thing for them both.

I will live the life you gave me, then I will come. Yesssss!!!

Author Reply: Indeed yes, I think that was the only way they could both go on - to have something and someone to look forward to. Hantanyel for your review!

Namarie, God bless, Antane :)

Okay, I'm beginning to wonder if tears and tissues are going to be routine. How can it be so good and yet so, so sad? There are so many things I love about this that I don't know how to pick them out--or maybe it's just one thing: it's so *real*! That's a poor way of describing it, but I have no other words.
God bless,
Galadriel

Author Reply: Hantanyel, ammelda! Not a poor way at all since that is the way it does indeed feel to be too. I don't even feel this is my creation at all. As the professor said somewhere "I've ceased inventing, now I wait to find out what really happened." or something very close to that. Wish I could remember where I read that! It wouldn't be a bad idea to keep those tissues handy.

Namarie, God bless, Melinyel, Antane :)
