Loved this...wish it was a bit longer...KUDOS!

All I can say is WOW. What a well written story. Emotional but not cheesy. Great job.

Such an awesome story. Very well done! One of the best I've ever read. Thank you.

This is the best story of the hundreds I have read! Keep up the amazing work!

Wow. This is a great story. You capture Steve's character so well. I can completely believe the Steve would have gone through all of these things before. I really enjoyed reading this. Stories like these are the reason that I love Fanfiction. You were able to add so much more depth to a character that otherwise, would have never been seen. Thank you!

So so good. I love this fic, the way you've gotten into Steves head, and what makes him tick. Just the best, your style flows so well :).

Intensely beautiful fic. You captured them perfectly. Can't wait to read more from you. Hugs from NJ - Mari

Wonderful story, I loved it so much!

Oh, I loved this so much. You have an amazing talent. Thank you for writing it.

Wonderful!

Thank your for writing such an awesome story. I really enjoyed reading it.

I totally love this! This is one of the best stories ever, showing us so much about why Steve is the way he is and what makes him tick. Thank you!

I've been looking forward to a new story from you - and I really, really liked it!
Every episode in itself was fascinating! It's a very convincing character portrait of Steve.

I ADORE this story! You are one of my favorited authors but this is one of my all time favorite 5-0 stories.
So poignant, the gradual education of our McG, as well as his essential aloneness. Until 5-0. And even then, he doesn't get that he's not alone anymore until they bluntly have to tell him. It is a story of a hero who is heart breaking and heart broken, but what a lovely denouement. Ohana works both ways. A revelation. Such a welcome revelation. I just love the way you told the story. We gets bits and pieces, Uncle Joe, his comraderie with his SEAL team, his first experience of true back up with Danno, then the heart break of Nick and then Korea and the wonderful revelation that "Ohana is a two way street." Really enjoyed every moment of this story. Thank you.

This story was absolutely fantastic! You are an amazing writer. Haven't seen anything from you in a while so when I saw your name, I jumped right into this story. Loved the timeline starting with his mother's death, his entry into the Navy and eventually becoming a SEAL. The start of the task force right on up to North Korea showed how these four people are truly ohana. Thank you for sharing your incredible talent with us.
