I agree with everything said so far. It's almost making me cry just thinking about it!<P>Theoden's death, when he says goodbye to Merry, is devastating.<P>When Denethor cries at Faramir's bedside, saying "I sent my son forth, unthanked, unblessed, out into needless peril; and here he lies with poison in his veins" and poor Pippin tries to comfort him.<P>Sam crying over Frodo's body and taking up the Ring to finish his master's task.<P>In the book, I always cry a tear or two of joy at the line "Rohan had come at last," so I'm expecting to do so again. And when the banner of the White tree is unfurled and they realize it's Aragorn and not the Corsairs of Umbar.<P>All the goodbyes are going to be devastating. The Grey Havens scene will be unimaginably bittersweet.<P>-Lily
