Love Letters  by Antane 6 Review(s)
H.G.Reviewed Chapter: 65 on 4/4/2016
Look, I'm just getting over being really sick and I'm still weak and dehydrated from throwing up so much. Do you *seriously* have to make me want to cry now?

Author Reply: Sorry to hear you have been unwell, my dear SIAHL, but you knew your danger when you started to read all the angst and love. :) I am honored you were moved so deeply.

Namarie, God bless, Antane :)

Oh my dear Antane, I am typing this with tears rolling down my cheeks. Lovely, just lovely. And Frodo trying to wade back to Sam was perfect!

Author Reply: Hannon le, my dear harrowcat. Glad you enjoyed! Your tears honor me.

Namarie, God bless, Antane :)

The last bond tying Sam to Middle Earth has loosed, and soon he will come.

I cried with them both in this chapter. They've both anticipated and sometimes longed for that reunion for so long, but now the bitter is coming home as much as the sweet. Dear Gandalf! And dear, dear Rose! Her last words to Sam were the most poignant part of this whole chapter.

I never really understood what Mr. Pippin said about Mr. Gandalf telling him about a life beyond this one, but I do now. Rose’s face was the most beautiful
and peaceful I had ever see it when she passed. And, she glowed softly, just like you do, but even brighter. I know she’s gone onto a better place and
I know she has blessed my choice to go too until we can meet again.

That line of Gandalf's, and the moment with Pippin, is one of my favourite scenes in the movie, and also one of the most believeable. I love how you expanded on that here. This was so beautiful, even in all its sadness.
God bless,
Galadriel

Sam's Rose is gone! :*( At least she did not suffer when she went, that's the important thing, right? But, he'll see her again.
It's sad also because Frodo feels nearly every feeling Sam feels.




Author Reply: Yes, and he can't do a darn thing about it which must just kill him, but soon that one soul they share will be rejoined.

Namarie, God bless, Antane :)

Oh, poor Sam! That made me cry. I knew it was coming sooner or later, but that... *sob* And poor Frodo, unable to comfort his Sam through this... But they will be together soon, and of that I am glad! Beautiful chapter, Antane!
God bless,
Ellie
