# 45 Valinor
Celebrían was now on board the ship which was to take her to Valinor. She tried to convince herself not to turn around one last time to see her family, but she knew if she didn't, she would regret it later on, especially since there was a chance she may never see her children again.
Slowly she stepped to the stern and looked out over the water to where she saw her children, her parents, and finally her husband waving to her as she slowly sailed out of sight towards Valinor. When she could no longer see them, she sat down and cried again. Would she ever stop shedding tears or would she be doomed to sadness for the rest of her immortal life?
Celebrían had no idea how long she sailed, but eventually, she heard Círdan's voice bring her out of reverie. "We are approaching Valinor, my lady."
Getting up, Celebrían walked to the bow of the ship, and sure enough, she saw the white shores of Valinor coming into view. She was not certain at first how she would feel when she arrived, but when Celebrían noticed the shores she felt a sense of peace wash over her. Perhaps I will make it after all, she thought to herself.
