Tex:

Short, sweet and to the point! I like the fact that this is first person and gives an inner glimpse of Bilbo and the enormous decision to let Frodo have the ring.
Very Happy smiley face

I need to do more writing like this, too. --Eruanna

Dear Lord TG, I think I may be overthinking this whole drabble thing. This was an absolutely lovely sentiment. How sad if Bilbo really felt that he failed Frodo. I never thought about that before. Very nice my dear.

What a lovely bit of insight! It's what we always want for those that come after us, to dream, but to be safe; to admire us, but not always to follow...
Thank you for sharing that! Very Happy smiley face

Very nice! I particularly admire the casual tone (my drabbles always sound overly formal); this is a nugget from the story that the film highlighted much more than the text and you've brought it out again most clearly.

A touching sentiment! Just like Ghettoelleth said, I've never thought about the impact that Frodo's leaving would have on Bilbo.
Poor old hobbit...

This is wonderfully done and so terribly sad. How very much like Bilbo to feel that he encouraged Frodo down the wrong path.
