I ALWAYS tear up when Frodo explains to Sam that he is leaving Middle Earth. The fact that he bore so much pain and suffering and all he wanted was to stay at home in the Shire. But when he had finally completed his task, he found he couldn't even enjoy it. He was too wounded to live his life in the Shire anymore. *SNIFFLE* I cry until I finish the RotK, ponder over it, then pick the Hobbit back up and start all over.
