This so like Sam. Getting right to the point without a lot of flowery words. which of the two Hobbits is having nightmare's she wonders? Based on the severity of the dreams, I would guess Frodo. If so, Aragorn will only be able to do so much for him. The undying lands hold the healing he needs.

Author Reply: Ah, Tari - both are - but Sam is the one who knows he'll survive - it's his worry about Frodo that prompts the letter...

I'm afraid Sam does not want to even think about Frodo going anywhere!!!

Bless you for the kind words!

Oh how sad! Poor Sam, and poor Frodo! (((hugs them both)))

I love Sam's mix of both the heart-breaking and the homely. "Plain and Simple", as you said.

Author Reply: Sam is so easy to write (not linguistically - but his feelings) What you see is what you get... Bless him! Because what you see is absolute purity.

Thanks ever so much for your review!

This was incredibly well done, and had a lot of punch for being only 200 words long. You write Sam's voice very well.

Author Reply: *blushes*

I have a difficult time with what some see as Sam's dialect - that's why I was a coward and put the P.S. in about Rosie helping.....

But writing Sam is exquisitely wondrous - he brings out the best in me when I write him... bless him!

And bless you for your review!

If that doesn't just break the heart to hear that pain, but what love also! Could I have the honor of putting this on my website? - http://www.knittedsouls.com

Namarie, God bless, Antane :)

Author Reply: Please feel free to put it up. I'm blushing at the compliment.

Yes - true, unselfish love.... by all parties involved.

Blessings,
Agape

Such heartbreak!

Author Reply: Yes - hard to bear - when a friend suffers so!

Thank you for reviewing!

What the Ring and the journey cost Frodo was almost more than any one person could bear, of course. The pain Sam finds himself sharing for his friend is almost more than he can bear as well. And I could imagine him in just this conspiracy!

Author Reply: Sadly, Sam's own experience with these nightmares is evident as he wonders about them. Being Sam, he doesn't mention that he too has suffered. His only concern, as always, is Frodo.

So it is more than pain, dear Larner, it is the shared experience that refuses to stop....

Many thanks for your reading and especially reviewing!

Oh, how Aragorn's heart must have broken to read this.

Author Reply: I never thought of that - Frodo and Sam's pain just obliterated me....

But you are truly correct!

Thanks so much for reviewing! And for the insight into my own stuff *grins*
