And it really summed up her attitude - she kept on going in the face of what was logically a hopeless situation.

However she was like Frodo in that ultimately the burden was hers and we could only try to carry her.

Not so depressing really; but quite moving. Thanks for sharing it. Words do not express well.... it puts me in mind of the Grey Havens....

Well, my family aren't so interested in Tolkien, but my Tolkien related friends, usually call me Halbi!!! (in rhyme with Ebi)
But some of them also call me Turin or Turambar which is my other loved character in Tolkien books!
Hey, is there any one who doesn't remember who Halbarad was?
