| The chapter before was very sad, but the end is actually the best that could ever have been. Frodo has been so blessed, surrounded by so much love and being healed in the end. What a wonderful end to the series. I've enjoyed reading it all. Author Reply: Thank you so much, Amfortas! I am glad you enjoyed it all. *hugs* :) Namarie, God bless, Antane :) | |

| Beautiful! I have always wondered what life it would be like for Bilbo and frodo in the Undying Lands, and more if Frodo did ever heal. I hope and hope. I felt really depressed about his plight, and sympathized with his burden... I am still astonished by it! I can never really disclose how I feel, but I am still in awe. The purpose behind Frodo becoming the Ring-Bearer is a wonderful wisdom, and how much he sacrificed out of the nativity of love is a marvel. That is why I hope he will know his greatness in his small being. And I have always imagined what it would be for Sam then, if he did ever get there in time to be reunited with his master. But that mystery remains hidden, but I am glad that was kept that way: vague it may seem for most, but an inner light feeling for those who can see. I love it, how you explore these situations. You have grace in your story. I simply love it. What more stronger impression is there but the word Love? Yes, I shall repeat it again and forever brand it in my heart: I love it. Author Reply: Thank you so much for your very kind comments (or maybe that should be Merci beaucoup) :) Always nice to find a new fan and one so appreciative too! :) *hugs* You honor me with your comments and I'm so glad you enjoyed it! You will find other stories of life in the West if you continue to wander around my stories... Namarie, God bless, Antane :) | |

| Wow! So we've reached the end of this part of the journey at last. But only this part-I hope...no, I know there is much more ahead! :) I loved the gentle arguments and teasing, and the conspirasies! Dear me! Again, I'll say all three of those things are so blessedly familiar, and oh! how I've missed them and the dear instigator(s?). :) :) I also love the kissing hands and the great circle of vases, and of course all the precious letters, to name just a few things. Again, I congratulate you on being one of the most creative with my little lines that rhyme! Wow! What you did with my loooooong booooooring counting song was absolutely brilliant! I still hold to the fact that the song itself doesn't make a whole lot of sense (but that's my fault, and honestly I don't really mind in the least :)), but you certainly took care of the monotony! :) If ever I write something else that I think is too boring, I'm sending it right to you! *grin* The last two chapters were so peaceful, and yet they had me just crying my heart out. Good-byes...I just can't bear them any more. But what a blessed homecoming, to see Frodo running into the arms that hadn't held him since he was twelve! Oh! A beautiful way to end a marvellous series! I know I've said it before, but I want to tell you again what a joy it's been to walk this road with you and our hobbits, and to help you and them along the way with my small contributions of songs. As I've said before, some of my very best memories of fanfic have been those times when you'd e-mail me with a request for a song by such and such a time, fit for such and such a situation. A lot of times I'd find myself thinking, "Oh my word, what in the name of wonder am I going to give her? And how in the *world* will I have it done in time?!" Then I'd reply to the e-mail, say, "Here goes," and just start writing, with no clear idea of what I was going to write. It was and is delightful, and has helped me so much, taught me that you don't always have to plan what to do-you just have to do it. :) I know I'm the one receiving the favour, not doing it, but know that if ever you need any more, e-mail me one of your impromptu requests, and we'll take it from there! :) Congratulations, my dear, and I-we-positively can't wait for more!!!! Namarie! Hantanyel for such a wonderful four-part anna! (And sorry for the very broken Quenya; I'm working on it. :)) God bless, Galadriel P.S. Could you lend me one of your teachers? Preferably Galien? I want to learn Quenya now! :) Author Reply: Wow right back to you, ammelda! What a review! :) So glad you enjoyed and hantanyel again for enriching it with your songs! Feel free to have Galien as an instructor. I'll take the one who taught Sam. :) :) Namarie, God bless, Melinyel, Antane | |

| A most gentle passing--gentle and blessed. My Frodo still seeks to slip away, but yours has learned not to do so. Author Reply: Yes, he finally learned his lesson! Hantanyel for your kind comments - glad you enjoyed! He deserved such a death I think. Namarie, God bless, Antane :) | |

| I am honored. What a lovely gift to find, with Lord Ulmo's cooperation, of course. | |

| A perfect description of what I see heaven to be. We receive our Creator's light and love through others but, throughout life, we must be open to the relationship and friendship that 'He' wants to build with us alone. Funnily enough I have just spent a day at a conference at a Benedictine Abbey. The Abbot gave the Keynote address and told us how he wanted to spend his last 10 breaths talking to God as if he were on his telephone to his best friend; sharing the news, making up after an argument and thanking him for all the wonderful things that he had been given that day. He said that he expected to be continuing the conversation right past his last breath; just more directly. Nothing would change in the relationship; it would just get even better. I have read your notes in the next chapter and admire you for being so open and honest about your faith. Your journey, while being entirely YOUR journey, mirrors my own in many ways. I, too, was brought up as a Catholic. When I was in my teens I made the decision that, after looking around, my faith-home was still in the Church I had grown up in. I wished I could have been Confirmed at that point rather than a number of years earlier when I didn't appreciate it. But then I would not have had the Spirit helping me to grow in my faith to the point where I owned it in quite the same way. Good on you for making one on one time and enjoy the journey! God Bless Author Reply: Hantanyel, harrowcat for this and all your support. You are in my daily prayers. I certainly didn't expect to be on this journey, but I'm glad. It's just more proof that the professor had to be inspired by the Author of the Story to reach so many people so deeply. I love the idea of the conversation just continuing. Namarie, God bless, Antane :) | |

| What a beautiful, wonderful last day. There is a famous saying about living every day as if it were your last. That is what Frodo and than Sam have been doing. And i intend to follow suit at least a few days over this Summer. Author Reply: Hantanyel, my dear! This is how I wish all deaths could be - nothing sudden, nothing painful, a day to do all favorites things and then a peaceful passing. Namarie, God bless, Antane :) | |

| This is wonderful! I think this has happened to me to an extent too, by getting involved in LotR and making me actually adress these issues like life and death that I just took for granted before. I love that there are other people out there actively searching out God's plan for their life, and I'm not the only one(I know, a little exaggeration, but sometimes it feels like that) Keep seeking God, and I pray He will bless you for it! God bless, Ellie Author Reply: Hantanyel, my dear Ellie! Being one of my favorite people, you are in my daily prayers with the queen, Frodo (the female one, the male one doesn't need any more!), harrowcat, Larner, Armariel and Elemmire.
