| The firsts are always hard. It feels strange, without a loved there who is always there. But, with time, it all will better. | |

| 'I have confidence that when you come, you will not see the same person you left on the shore, instead it will be the one I feared so greatly would never exist again, Frodo of the Shire, not Frodo of the Nine Fingers or the Ring-bearer, but simply your Frodo.' I don't doubt that one bit. When Sam arrives there, he will see his master just as he was before the Ring and the Quest. And that sweet, how Frodo-lad has Frodo's eyes. :) The healing process goes not for only for Frodo and Sam, but you add Galadriel. Three sides of the healing triangle, I suppose. | |

| I am constantly amazed and in total awe at how well you manage and portray Frodo and Sam's journey to healing. And now you add Galadriel. But she has come to peace with it all and with herself. You are so right - the path to peace goes through the sorrow and pain and not around it. | |

| There are so many firsts to endure in that first year when you are grieving - even with the hope of seeing your loved one again. I think that to try and live without even that hope must be worse than impossible. | |

| Oh, I love this. It's so bittersweet. The firsts will be so painful, yes, but I'm so glad to see Sam making sweet memories with his daughter. And this is priceless. I hope there’s a garden for you to sit in, meadows to walk in, libraries to read in and your bed has a mattress you can sink into with lots of feather pillows for you to have blissful dreams in. Awwww! God bless, Galadriel | |

| Gardening, uh? Well, they do say that tending a garden can be good for folks, especially those who have hurts of the heart and soul. Sam ought to be proud when he arrives there. :D | |

| Oh wow! Poor Sam, not wanting to go into Frodo's room because he ain't there no more. It must be so difficult to be in a place where a loved one used to be and them not there anymore. It's just so heart wenching, you know? But, Sam will see Frodo again, just as Rose said. | |

| It is easy to forget that Bilbo would need healing too. But gardening therapy sounds wonderful. I spent today noticing the first tentative signs of Spring in glorious Warwickshire (very much Shire country) and then came back to less than leafy London and found that the frost was thick on the ground again! | |

| Yes, a garden is a tried-and-true help when it comes to healing for the heart. And won't Sam be pleased to see it when he comes! And I've no doubt he'll share in the tending of it. :) God bless, Galadriel | |

| Oh my, this is so real that it's almost alarming--almost. I feel as if I've felt this, though I know I haven't, not that deeply. You capture Sam so well, ever the loving protector, guardian, brother, friend... His listing of all the things he should still be able to do was heartbreaking. Sometimes the things we think are all wrong are really as they should be--no, always, because as long as things are in the Creator's hands (as they always will be) they will be as they are intended to be. But that can be so, so terribly hard to accept. I know I had to after 9/11, and it took months. This is very poignant and easily seen. Poor Sam, if only he and Frodo could send those letters! God bless, Galadriel | |
