I rejoice that all know peace at this time.

All knew peace and like Gandalf says "All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us." Frodo was changed. The time of the Elves was over. But we go on.

Thank you for reading through the entire story again after so long! It is so appreciated!

Stay safe. Mellon nin!

Hello! Not sure if you will see this. But I haven't heard from Lindelea (Jean) in a month. That was via email. Do you know if she is OK. Just wondering.

A wonderful story and a clever way to get everyone together. Thank you

I would like to suggest that you get a more skilled beta reader. There were too many words used incorrectly which is jarring and interrupts the flow of the reading.
In particular is the phrase attributed to Pippin: get out of Dodge

Get (the hell) out of Dodge To leave or depart from a place, especially quickly or with marked urgency. A reference to Dodge City, Kansas, the clichéd setting of cowboy and western films from the early to mid-1900s.

The meaning is clear, but such an anachronism!

Thank you for much reading pleasure!

Thank you so much for reading and then writing! I really wanted to write a story with "family reunion" flavour.

This was one of my earliest stories I did go through it again recently but some things just simply through.

So glad that you liked the story! Yeah!

To tell true about the "Get out of Dodge" phrase I never knew the origin history of that phrase. I do try to not use modern parlance in my stories or things with a very defined sound, but you learn something every day! I will steer clear of it from now on! :-) Thanks!

Oh, this story really made me cry. I hate partings.. Very nice, among the best fanfics I've ever read!

Keep up the wonderful work /Alandria

I'm so glad you liked it! It is always nice to know when somebody has enjoyed your work! It was my first attempt at a long story and I really enjoyed the process, although writing parts of it also made me cry too! :-)

You have done a wonderful job with this story. The last few chapters are so full of love and compassion.

I find post-quest Frodo/Sam stories very emotional especially when they are as beautifully written as this

Thank you
