Summary: Bilbo thoughts on his journey to Valinor

Bilbo was old. Very old. For many years now he felt like it. And now he supposed to rest. In Blessed Realms, Valinor, where elves went. He would see elven heroes he read about, maybe even he would speak to them. Finrod, maybe Turgon, his daughter Idril and Tuor, supposedly the only human who was granted immortality. All of them he may meet. And he was with Frodo…

But he wasn’t stupid. Not only heroes awaited him there. After all he was old, very old, older then any hobbit lived. And how many years more he could have? Not many.

It is true, at the end lies the unknown for all of us. I liked this small glimpse into the heart of Bilbo on his last Adventure.

Dear Bilbo. In all of my 'hobbits in the West' stories, he lives long enough to enjoy his experience of the Blessed Realm. It's wonderful to get this glimpse into his thoughts.

Oh, poor Bilbo! I can see this.
