Wow.....Not much else to say. This was a very well researched and very well writen story. It kept me apt and attentive thru all 30 chapters so far, and I almost cried when I learned the was no chapter 31. Me mum thinks I'm crazy...crying and yelling in frustration at me computer! ;-) I sincerely hope you update soon...Don't know how much longer I can hold out!! :-) Well, anyway I just wanted to let you know, I have this fic bookmarked I like it so much and will be waiting anxiously for the arrival of the next chapter! See you in the reviews then! Toodles.

Author Reply: You are so sweet!! Unfortunately, I have company for the Holidays and it will be a couple of days before I can update. But keep that bookmark....when I do update I probably will have more than one chapter to add. Thanks again for such a great review. tree

In a great many fan fictions the relationship between Frodo and Merry is left in the background. Frodo is always getting help from Sam and Merry is always looking out for his Pippin. I am glad to read something that puts Frodo with Merry. I look forward to more of this one.

Author Reply: I really wanted this to feel like a family or group trying to help Frodo. I keep trying to include alot of characters and what they are thinking. It does make it complicated, like juggling too many plates, but I think it adds interest to the story. So glad youre enjoying it, I hope to have it updated in a few days, but the holidays and company are slowing things down quite a bit. thanks again for such wonderful reviews. tree

This is a wonderful story! When I started reading, I hoped that this would be more than just another sick Frodo story, and it is so much more! I love the way Aragorn made Merry help Frodo. But I feel sorry for Merry too. He´s always looking out for the others, and it is nice to se that Strider takes care of him too.

Keep up the good work! I look forward to those "lessons".

Author Reply: I am so happy youre enjoying the story. I would like to get another chapter up this weekend but I have company coming and it may be delayed. I have really enjoyed the wonderful feedback Ive received and want to thank you for your review. tree

A new beginning indeed. This is where the hard work really begins . . . poor loves.

Author Reply: Elwen- so cool to hear from you. You got that right! But it will be interesting to see what happens, huh? thanks for reviewing tree
