Oh, this is wonderful! I love the image of Sam's head being circled like a halo by the dust. What a lovely story.

he felt no sense of loss, for to him the box was still full: with his hopes, dreams and aspirations, and most of all with his abiding love for his dear land.

Oh! Oh, I love this so much. *glee* Beautiful, my friend. I'm so honored that you were inspired to write a companion to my little tale. Dear Sam!

Oh! I love this! It fits together so well with Shirebound's tale. It shows Sam's generous spirit too as he shares the Lady's gift with his beloved Shire. That was beautiful.
