Author's Note: I don't own anything

Summary: Sam misses Frollo and writes him a letter.

Dear Mr. Frodo,

There isn't a day where I don't think of you. I really miss you and sometimes I wish you were here. It just isn't the same with Merry and Pippin. They are closer to each other than me and sometimes I feel like the third wheel. At least though, I have my darling Rosie. She suggested I write a letter to you. She said it would help.

I think about our lives over the past few years and I came to realize that we had been through so much together. We went on a far journey with no idea if we would ever return. We travelled to distant lands and met all kinds of creatures, especially the elves. I never thought in my entire life I would meet one. Boy was I wrong.

We faced death several times and sometimes at night I have nightmares that we are still on the journey and that we don't make it. Evil consumes us and we are destroyed. I have nightmares of Gollum strangling me. I know that he's gone, but it doesn't replace the fear. It still hurts how he betrayed us both. I can't believe how he tricked us. It's in the past I know, but how can you forget things like that? You don't it changes you. No matter how bad the trauma is, I know I will carry this experience for the rest of my life.

But what keeps me going, is how strong and brave you were throughout everything. You were so brave and courageous. At times, our mission would bring you down. The weight of it all, but you kept pushing. There were times I thought you were going to give up and submit yourself to the power of Sauron. But you didn't. You, Mr. Frodo, are an example of what every hobbit should strive to be.

If it weren't for you, I might have never married Rosie. It took this journey for me to realize how much I truly love her. If it weren't for you, Rosie and I might not be expecting our first born. It's because of this journey that you brought Rosie and me together. I will never forget at your Uncle's birthday when you pushed me to dance with Rosie. I fell in love with her then. I made a vow that someday she would be mine. And look where she is today. She is my darling and loving wife. If I never would have danced with her, who knows what might have happened.

I will never forget you Mr. Frodo. Never. Thank you for being my friend and for always being there for me. You are a true friend. You are the brother I never had.

I miss you.

Love,

Sam
