West of the Moon, East of the Sun  by Armariel 2 Review(s)

Squiggles, have they? How dear.

Age takes its toll, but gracefully; and Frodo has probably held on this long only because he was waiting for Sam. He already had so much to thank the Creator for and undoubtedly looks forward to offering that thanks in person.

The greatest thing we can know is to be grateful for the life we've known, I think.

Author Reply: I think squiggles are going to come back into fashion for a while to come, when Sam arrives...which will be a nice compliment to him, surely!

Frodo looks forward, yes, but perhaps a bit backward, as well, and anxiously, knowing he's going to be leaving a lot of grief and sadness behind him with those who love him. No getting around that. But they will know someday that they were the better and greater for having known him. And yes, he will be profoundly grateful for the life he knew, which will no doubt have a great bearing on the life that is to come.

Thanks so much for commenting!

What do you think you are doing, my dear, just leaving it there?! What a cruel cliff hanger! But I am filled with excitement and anticipation. A treasure indeed is arriving and Frodo's love is right not to wonder why her love's brother is coming :) Update soonest, like yesterday!

Namarie, God bless, Antane :)

Author Reply: Ah but you KNOW who's coming! I'll try to get the next bit in before Wednesday. So glad you are enjoying the story and thanks for telling me so! I am trying not to make it TOO teary but it may end up being so....oh well!

hugs
