Galadriel had waited for this moment for many ages. She was the last surviving Noldorin who had braved the Helacaraxe, everyone else had died in war or from heart break. Yet Galadriel, the least of the house of Finarfin, had endured the long ages and kept Middle Earth safe from peril for as long as she tarried there. She stayed only long enough to witness her granddaughter's marriage to Elessar and to cleanse mirkwood before she came to the grey havens. She left Celeborn, her husband, behind. It was not yet his time to leave these lands, but the yearning for the sea was hot in Galadriel's heart. She wished to sail to Valinor to see her daughter and reunite with her parents who she had left there.
Cirdan had waited for her. She was to take one of the last ships to Valinor with Bilbo and Frodo Baggin, the first other than elves to see the gleaming shores of the holy land. She had not seen Cirdan in many ages and they had much to speak of, each exchanging their own tales in the tale of the One Ring.
But it was just as Galadriel got to telling the part of the gifts she gave to the Fellowship that she woke up, not in a sweat as she often did before, but much calmer now. She felt at ease with the decision to leave Middle Earth for Valinor. She felt complete and it was a feeling she took with her into the waking world.
