Dam. I almost cried there a little.

Damn. This is an incredible piece. So beautifully written and I actually broke down crying at the end. You are a seriously gifted writer. Amazing job.

woah

This was probably one of the most hauntingly beautiful pieces I have ever written in or out of fanfiction. Even now after reading it, I can feel so many emotions threatening to overwhelm me. It was incredible; you are a true artist in your craft.

You crushed my heart! Ahhh so sad and beautiful. thank you-

That was the saddest masterpiece of TMNT literature I have ever read. Alzheimer's is such a scary condition, and I feel so bad for Mrs. Parr and for Denise. At least Mikey was able to give her something of comfort. Poor lady. :(

Amazing read, though. You captured the emotions perfectly, and made me cry at the very end. You captured the confusion of her lost memories, the fear and apprehension. I've never seen another fic like this, and I'm certainly glad I saw this one.

A very well-written story with an intriguing perspective and crushing emotions. I was crying by the time I finished. Loved it :)

This story is absolutely stunning.

This left my crying and stunned. I tend to agree with another reviewer-this can't justifiably be called fanfiction. It's just fantastic and it's so rare to find a writer who can deal with old age with such fairness and honesty and realism. Truly enjoyed reading this-probably one of the best and most touching stories I've ever had the pleasure of reading.

This was brilliant.

Provocative, dealing with issues lots of people would shirk away from, taking a POV most writers would be wary of touching. To call this "fanfiction" would be an insult; I think I'd rather refer to it as fiction borrowing a bit of information from another medium, actually.

Absolutely stellar. If you have any desire to be a professional writer, I hope it comes true.

This story was incredible. It was beautiful, and real, and heartbreaking all at once.

And I'm terrible at reviewing in the morning, and I do apologize for that. Believe me, though, this was just.

It was amazing. I can't believe it took me so long to find this fic!

What a sad, yet so well written story. Not a happy ending, but then again, if any story went all the way to the end, is it ever really happy? I have to say that Alzheimer’s is one disease that I really, really hope I never get. Talk about a horrifying way to go, in my opninion. And you wrote about Mrs. Parr's slow descent so realistically...

I can't say I enjoyed the story (it was a bit too depressing for that), but it was very well done.

I'd like to give you an awesome review but I'm crying my eyes out and choking to death on sobs.

I'm choked up right now, as I finish reading this story. It's poignant, and pitiable, and charming, and uplifting, and passionate, and unexpectedly riveting for a work that is almost entirely inner narrative. Yet never once did my attention wane. This story had to have been daunting to write, but I'm so glad you did! I wanted so badly for Mrs. Parr to know that her gargoyle lived up to all of her thoughts of him and then some. I wanted her to know he had friends and family who cared about him, and that if she had had the chance to know him, he would have seen her beauty as a person, regardless of her age.

I don't know how you managed to capture the wandering thoughts of Mrs. Parr, but they felt completely real. And even though we never saw Michelangelo's point of view, the story was undeniably ABOUT the TMNT.

Thanks for writing this! And best of luck to you in the competition!
