In these trying times (that brings out the best and worst in humans)....
'I know. It's all wrong. By rights we shouldn't even be here. But we are. It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger, they were.
And sometimes you didn't want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer...'

Too me, Samwise was the true hero.
He was not 'family', it was friendship in its its truest form.
He went with Frodo for no other reason, knowing of the risk.
Without thought of self, but for the greater good.
His was that of a good heart, kind, and fiercely loyal and devoted.
Even when unnoticed and unappreciated.
He didn't have to go with frodo and could have turned back at any time.
Frodo would not have made it without Sam.
He, is a character to emulate.
I try and do my best.
That is all one can do.
