Summary : Written for [community profile] tolkien100 challenge Beating the Blues

There were good days and bad nights; good nights and bad days.

On the bad nights he shook and sobbed, sometimes dreaming of leaving Frodo, cold and alone, to fall into the hands of the orcs. He took comfort in Rose’s arms, but there were times when that was not enough.

On the bad days he walked alone in the wooded hills of the Shire, remembering sunny days spent with Frodo before the Ring cast its long shadow.

The walking cleared his mind and he then returned to Bag End to take joy in his beloved family and his garden.

Oh Sam! The real hero! People forget how it must have been for Sam afterwards.

Dear Sam, left with memories and regrets no one else can possibly understand. No wonder I write so many "happy hobbits in the West" stories! Bless them all.
