We Don't Say Goodbye  by Iorhael 3 Review(s)

This is so sweet too ...so poignant. I've been meaning to read this for the longest time and glad that i've found time to. :)

And he was no longer a simple gardener, but to this elf, he was an esteemed Ringbearer and respect was due to this station.
Respect is indeed due for dear brave loyal Samwise Gamgee. <3 <3

and it's very cool how you described Frodo's state of being cleansed and free of pain from memory of the Quest and of his parents death. I would love to think that Frodo did go to Valinor for peace and for happiness.

::loves this fic:: and you =)

And i love Sam's comfort fro Frodo at the end... though i would love for you to expand this and have Frodo show Sam around or something and them having a dialogue after the many many years they've been apart.

~sniff!!!~ you made me cry! which is saying something, since i was at work, and constantly interrupted (yes, boring job of answering phones). And still, i continued to feel the emotional build-up until the end. I knew it was coming, I could feel myself moved (and then the phone would ring) and tears pricking my eyes (and then the phone would ring...) anyway...

This was beautiful, sad, hopeful, heartwarming and heartwrenching at the same time, and a story I want to read again already (without the interruptions). Through Sam's joy and acceptance, you showed how love *can* last forever.

I can't say enough. wonderful, wonderful job!

wait

okay

Sorry, but you moved me so much with your review. That was so coming from the depth and I don't think there'll be enough thanks I can extend to you.

anyway...

Thank you, thank you very much for reading it (amidst the phone calls) and liking it and being passionate about it.

That was beautiful. I hadn't thought of how frodo might look after so long a time. This was interesting. I found myself wondering if Sam would become young in appearence also.

Author Reply: Oh, GW, you're so sweet. Thanks for coming over again (though I don't feel quite deserve it for I've kinda abandoned you and your fics. Sorry...)

I just like to imagine Blessed Realms some kind of heaven in which people are healed and rejuvenated. Might happen to Sam also. :)
