lovely~ i love Sam and Elanor interactions~ you've now inspired me to continue with a WIP i have (about them). :) i love this paragraph: "That was more than sixty years ago, but she knew her father still felt the emptiness after the loss of the hobbit whose friendship had endured through the most perilous of times. Sam had lived a plentiful life as Frodo told him he would, but those days had passed, and it was now his children's turn to live in the same blissfulness that he had been blessed with." just wonderfully written~ great job. :) please write more~

""Maybe," his father replied, his eyes became distant and the wrinkles beside them were visible. Whether he was able to picture Frodo in the Undying Lands or not, she wasn't sure. "In some way or another, I will."" -- This made me cry! It shows so well the faith and compulsion Sam has in following Frodo. Even if Frodo had already died, there would still be stories of him for Sam to hear, perhaps stories of healing to reassure him...

I expected a story like this to make me sad, but lines like this lifts my heart: "His eyes sparkled now at Elanor, and it held no sadness whatsoever." If Sam can face his "new adventure" with confidence, then so can I! Lovely story.
