>> Did anyone else find the fact that Frodo left rather sad?

Ummmm... yeah, devastating.

After the long trip home, Frodo confides to Gandalf, "I have been wounded by knife, sting, tooth, and a long burden. Where will I find rest?"

Gandalf does not answer.

The implication is... not in the Shire. And after all he goes through to save the Shire, that (to me) is gutwrenching.
