Wow! . . . Whew! . . . I don't know how I've missed this story all these years, but fortunately I found it this morning, and I've spent the biggest part of the day (off and on) reading it . . . (every chance I got, even on my phone while I was making dinner!)

This one was definitely a "Kleenex" story and my eyes are red and swollen this evening. I found myself so caught up in the story, I found myself resentful while my son-in-law and grandchildren were visiting, and that NEVER happens!

Thank you so much for gifting us with such an indepth, compelling, emotional story about our favorite characters. The emotional tidal waves, ebbs, and finally flow in this story was quite powerful.

You have quite a gift in your writing . . . I have always enjoyed reading your stories and admire you for your creative thought. Please, continue the great writing and thank you again for gifting us with your incredible stories. Kudos to you . . .

like it neat chapter

Wow! That was great! That was the most angst ridden and emotionally charged fic I have ever read! It made me cry so much! Its unbelievable!

Great story gave my emotions a work out!

Tony dead? Oh yeah. Thanks.

Superb story. Well written and the plot was orgnized and believable.

WOW. What a great story! I had to stop reading several times because of the emotional intensity. I liked the way all members of the team/family were portayed with such detail and the growth of their personalities was realistic. I somehow missed the chapter were the ghosts came, so I missed the way the team accepted the ghosts.

Hey! Gibbs shouldn't blame Tony because if it were the other way around Gibbs would have forgiven Tony. This serves as a lesson. A sad one but a lesson.

A truly heart-wrenching story. Everyone's pain and loss was clearly portrayed, and all the emotional turmoil wreaked havoc on my own emotional state/system. Being able to touch someone like that is part of what makes this such a great story.

love it.. jethro is a bastard right now though

Wow.

This took me almost a month to complete, but it was worth it!

Usually I stay away from stories that have a character death, but I was instantly drawn to this from the very first line.

Although there were a few typos and minor mistakes like that, I thoroughly enjoyed reading this. It made me laugh; it made me cry; some parts even shocked me. Very well written. Keep up the great work!

yeah he's finally home so happy for him and everyone. Now they can really move on together.

Outstanding fic. You should be proud of yourselves. Bravo!

Not a bad ending, was glad Tim went back
