Ring-bearers, Aging and Life in Aman

Title: Ring-bearers, Aging and Life in Aman
Rating: G
Warning: None
Genre: Non-Fiction
Summary: Nearly all fan fictions that I have read depict Sam reuniting with Frodo in the West. But would such a reunion really be possible?
Author's Notes: This essay started as a response to this thread topic on the SF-Fandom forums, so you can blame Michael Martinez, RobRoy, Alvin Eriol and the other boys over there for getting me going in this direction in the first place. My 'quick' response soon grew too long for a simple post, so I decided to turn it into an essay instead.
