| Looking for a bit of comfort today, I re-read this. And it brought me to tears, but in a good way. Thank you again for this lovely treat. (((hugs))) Author Reply: And thanks so for being there for me so many times. Another comment I managed to miss. Sam needed to set things straight many times, I'm certain; and Pippin would be the first to stand behind him at such moments. Thanks so much, and happy birthday! | |

| So much said in such a short story! Really brilliant. Writing down what you feel is always a good idea to sort your thoughts and clear your mind. But Frodo went even further and turned the "offending" words into a statement of love and blessing. Maybe it was kind of a reward that he was granted a glimpse of the future, of Sam and Rosie and their children, just that night. Author Reply: I suspect it was intended to be a reward of sorts, to know that Sam's first child was now conceived. And I certainly found writing out my frustrations helped to make things easier to sort through in a productive manner. Thanks so for the comments, and I apologize for being so late in responding, Andrea. | |

| I've just read through this entire series again, backwards, and it's been lovely remembering all the old ones again. Thank you, once more, for sharing your tellings with us. Author Reply: I am so honored, Freyalyn! Love finding reasons to imagine Frodo Baggins learning more about himself as well as about his friends and the world they lived in. | |

| That's a lot to experience in one short time - rage, grief, relief, joy, love - I'm glad the Ring did not win in the end but love did, as it must, being stronger :) Namarie, God bless, Antane :) Author Reply: But yes, Frodo had a full emotional workout on this, with, as you note, Love winning in the end. And I think that the Powers--and the One above the rest--would want for Frodo to realize his own sacrifice has borne fruit. Thanks so! | |

| Oh what a heart-achingly sad look at Frodo's feelings but also a fabulously brilliant example of how a shift in perception can turn grief into joy and lay a blanket of comfort over keenly felt hurt and regret- not to lose those emotions but to have them muted just a little. Beautifully written as always Larner. Thank you for sharing. BTW I am having a bit of a 'Larner-fest' at the moment and taking time to re-read your early works. I have just delighted myself with Ties of Family and fondly remember our discussions over 'brothers of the heart'. Hoping all is well with you and yours. Liz Author Reply: Thank you so, Liz. Have been reading some of my stories to a new client, who finds them a good distraction from the agonies of a debilitating disease. I wish I could come over. Hope that both your new PM and our so-called President both get their rightful due soon, and that both realms find the peace and return to fulfillment that the Shire knew from the return of the Travellers. Hope that perhaps in a year I might travel your way along with friends who wish to visit England with me to serve as a guide to my favorite haunts. | |

| She came to him, placing a golden sun-star blossom in his hand Oh, how lovely. Frodo is so brave, so honest, so deserving of healing. No wonder I can't stop writing about it! Thank you for this loving story. Author Reply: Yes, he is so deserving of being healed indeed. Thanks so, Shirebound! | |

| Aww. Beautifully done. I love that Frodo left the knife behind as a legacy for the family of the hobbit it originally belonged to. Author Reply: This was a sequel to the previous story in this collection. I rejoice that the knife has come full circle. Thank you so!

| Lovely snippit again Larner. It is the little things that mean a lot don't they? I thought I wanted to keep my Dad's Police Medal but in the end gave it to my Nephew. Then, unexpectedly, I found his old whistle, (used extensively in pre-mobile phone days,) and that means so much more. I am glad that the knife is a reminder of two such special people. Author Reply: I can see how important the whistle would be for you--a reminder of a more innocent times, I suppose. And the knife indeed is a reminder of two highly unique and important individuals. Thanks for giving me something to think on. | |

| What an amazing journey that knife has been on! Nearly as amazing as those who carried it. I enjoyed this story very much. Author Reply: Am so glad that the story of this knife has given such pleasure. Thanks! | |

| The proper tool for the job. Lovely reflection in this Larner. As an old Girl Guide, (Scout to you of course,) I generally have a knife about me somewhere. Very useful at surprising moments! Author Reply: I have one on my keychain, and use it mostly to open packages of books and DVDs. Glad the thought resonates so well! | |
