The Item of Many Items

I suppose it's the Last Goodbye

So yesterday morning, I cried the hardest I ever had for any LoTR/Hobbit related thing. Ever. Although there are often tears in my eyes or even running down my face because of *cough cough* the TRAILERS or the movies in general......

I was cooking bacon and eggs for breakfast and my mum came into the kitchen holding the laptop. She set it down after I gave her a curious look, and lo and behold, it was a music video of Billy Boyd singing the song he wrote for the credits, "The Last Goodbye". At first I was like, wow, this is really cool, blah blah blah, but after the first 30 seconds there were tears running freely down my face so I turned away to turn over the bacon. At this point my whole family was there watching it. Anyway, I turned around again to watch it and it cut to a scene of the cast hugging each other, and then Frodo walking on this path. Well, I lost it. In front of my entire family. I actually just started bawling (like heaving sobs) and when it finished I ran into the living room and just cried and cried all over the couch. Even my sister, who is as obsessed as I am, came up to me and was like "WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM STOP CRYING" and my mum tried to explain to my father that "sometimes they do this" and it's "normal". At any rate, I cried for like 5 minutes.

I think finally it fully hit me that this is the last goodbye, it's unlikely that there will be any more middle earth, as much as we want to remain optimisitc. There will never be any more tales of lore from Frodo or Bilbo, no more ridiculous scenes from the Dwarves, or Lobelia Sackville-Baggins stealing Bilbo's spoons. The elves will never shoot another arrow, nor will Sauron ever rise again. 

It is over, it is done. 

And that makes me terribly sad.
