Queen Galadriel · 9 April 2007 · Chapter 1: Grateful
*cries* Oh, that is so poignant, Rowan! So very poignant! And thank *you*, for writing such a lovely story that made me, at least, reflect on all *I* have to be grateful for. God bless, Galadriel

Gentle Hobbit · 26 November 2006 · Chapter 1: Grateful
I liked that very much, especially at the end -- Frodo's thank-you to Smeagol. He really was the only one to see any good in Gollum and to actually trust him--a gift Gollum surely felt. I also liked how Frodo ended his thanksgiving with "I am ready." That simple statement showed well how he needed to express his gratitude and recognize the web of aid and friendship that was woven all around him. Thank you for this.

A touching tribute to all who loved or helped Frodo along the way. I'm glad that Gildor was not forgotten! My favorite part, though, was Frodo's thank-you to Sméagol.

I could see Frodo writing such a letter of thanks. I especially like how Frodo expressed his appreciation to Boromir, Smeagol, and all of the soldiers who died to buy him time.

A lovely, loving goodbye. He truly has much to be grateful for and we have much to be grateful to him and Sam and all the others for. Happy thanksgiving! Namarie, God bless, Antane :)

Wonderful. I could just imagine Frodo saying all of that.

If no one else remembers you and gives you their blessing, take mine, such as it is. I was thinking about Gollum before I reached the last paragraph. And there he is. Of course, Frodo calls him "Smeagol" as he's always done. Really beautiful! Thank you, Rowan!

I thought that the fact that Frodo is able to be grateful to Sméagol is the reason he can say at the end, "I am ready."
