Oh my... I don't know how often I have re-read this piece already... and it still makes me weep. This is so very beautiful, and touching. Thank you for such a gem. :)

That is one of the best compliments a writer can receive, I think: to know that upon a second or third reading that one's writing can still affect a reader so much. Thank you, Nivina! *hugs*

Thank *you*. Yes, Sam had the full force of the knowledge of inevitability pressing down on him. There was nothing he could do.

This was SO beautiful and sad... and truly follows the spirit of the book and film both. I love the way you worked the lyrics of the song into the text as well... Thank you, for sharing this with us! HUGS; Tangelian

Thank you for your kind words! Yes, that song spoke to me so powerfully -- I could not deny it.
