The entire "Grey Havens" scenario. (I guess that's more than a single scene, but I can cheat, can't I?)

What struck me most were all the references to Frodo's suffering, his dropping out of Shire affairs and the reference to how little honor he had in his own country, plus the actual parting between Frodo and Sam.

It's as if the characters are bidding farewell to us as well. Bilbo and Frodo sail to the West for healing and growth, the Hobbits return to the Shire so they may help in its restoration, and we, once again, are shut out of Middle Earth to stand on a distant shore. So much joy and sorrow! sharon, the 7th age hobbit
