Who's your Sammy?

[Formendacil]

Fascinating question, Alatar, and fraught with the potential for all kinds of answers.

For myself, though, the only Sam I can come up with is my younger brother, two years younger, and pretty much my sidekick for our first twelve years or so. Not that we ever really got into perilous or world-weary situations (and I'm not sure he'd have been much of a Sam, if we had)...

Actually, I almost have to wonder if I'm more of a Sam in this context, than a Frodo...
