A Letter

A/N: I got the idea for this fanfic while listening to the lyrics of "Into the West" on the Return of the King movie. There is no slash in this fanfic what so ever, though you may take it that way, it truly isn't. I hope that you enjoy it and please review.

Hello, Sam. It is wonderful to be able to talk to you again after so long. I hope you are well, and Merry and Pippin, and Rosie and your children. I know I have done it many times before I even left the Shire, but thank you, Sam for everything you did for me on our journey. You are truly the best friend that anyone could wish for.

You gave me hope when I had none. You saw through Gollum's lies when I didn't. I could never wish for anyone better in my life, Sam. I love you dearly and I always have and will, even when I am long gone. I hope to see you again soon, Sam. I must thank you again personally for everything that you did for me. I do miss you, Sam; your company, your personality and your good naturedness.

We will see each other in time, I'm sure. You will love it here, Sam. It's sort of like Rivendell or Lothlorien. You get lost in your thoughts and you lose track of time.

There is so much that I have to say to you, Sam. I really can't stop thanking you for everything. I'm sure that I have told you that many times before. I have even started to re-write our journey in a book that Lord Elrond gave me. He believes that it may help with my wounds, and so far, it actually has. I wish you were here with me, to help me through, the bad times, and to tell your part when I couldn't.

We will see each other soon, Sam. But for now, I must go. I hope to write to you soon, but for now, good bye, Samwise. My heir, my best friend.
