That was freaking sad! I hate tear jurkers. Good job, just so sad. Poor Leo! Please write another one, only a happy one just for Leo. Please! Take care and God bless.

:O

WHY!

Ok, I'm done now. That was really good, very well written. I think I'll go have a good cry now. :P

Nice job!

Wow. That was wonderful. For some reason I had this gut feeling that something was wrong as soon as Leo called, and I had figured out what had happened by the time he said his sickness was nothing to worry about anymore. I felt exactly like Donny did just before Splinter delivered the news. That description of how his stomach was twisting itself into knots was written with such great imagery. Each person's reaction initially and at the end was spot on, and I'm so glad there was a "happy" ending. There were only a few grammatical errors, mostly comma splices. Overall it was a very well written piece. Great job!

Wow...that was so sad that I needed a tissue, but it was great. Good job with this, I loved the idea of Leo just calling to say he loves them even after death. It did sound like something Leo would say. Again great job.

Oh man. I can’t believe you actually killed him. I mean, I figured that you were going to but… wow. Brave soul. (me thinks you may serve as inspiration to my darker muses- and if you do I will totally make sure people know who to blame ;)
I thought for sure that Leo was laying mortally injured somewhere and had disabled the hologram so that his family couldn’t see. But then he was laughing and such without strain, and even Leonardo’s not *that* good. Then I thought that perhaps he *was* sick, but it was already terminal so there was nothing to do anyway. You completely surprised me, but I suppose I should have expected it- how iconicly Leo. *shakes head* and I suppose that is why we love him.
I adored everyone’s reactions all the way through. Mikey was my favorite (his random comments were perfect, and the fact that he caught on to the odd time was a nice touch. I have a hard time writing Michelangelo, he’s a hard character for me to balance, but you did an awesome job), but I loved how Raphael was hanging around the edges pretending that he didn’t really care, very Raph-like.
Gah. I hope Splinter feels absolutely terrible about all this. It is one hundred percent his fault! There was nothing wrong with Leo, he wasn’t going all dark side, he didn’t need to be sent away. The jerk.
Very nice indeed, and it was sad- though for some reason I didn’t find it as heart retching as the last one. No, it was probably because this had such a positive spin. Everyone was looking forward, and Leo’s call itself was so upbeat. It even ends with everyone laughing and telling stories. Which is a good thing! But it did lack the loneliness and heartbreaking reluctance of the last one. (Leo silently begging his Master to let him stay… you are so evil) But yes, good job!

p.s.-(I say, have you read the Bad Places series? Not only is it an amazing Leocentric piece [and nice and long] but me thinks that the author shares your opinion of Splinter, poor old rat. Seriously, go read it, though you may want to wait till you have some free time cause, like I said, it is very long and extremely addicting)-DR’N

Oh... I started weeping from the middle of this story, and now I've read it, and I can't stop crying... I've never had such a strong reaction on a fic before. I really don't know what to say, it's just... Well, it's really so Leo-like to break all the obstacles - even death - to make sure his family is alright. And he really knew they needed it - I can't even imagine what would have happened if Leo just died while being far away and never came back. They'd just fall apart, and there would be pain, and hate, and hostility (mainly because of Raph, I suppose)... And with Leo's phone call, everything is set so that nothing vital would break when he's gone. This is so... I can't express it, so I won't even try, sorry.
...Damn, I'm still crying. I can't believe it... You are fantastic. Thank you for this story.

aw i *sniff* couldn't *sniff* help but * sniff* *sob* cry! You really captured the brothers attidudes. i love it *breaks down into tears*

I almost screamed when I heard that Leo was DEAD! Never saw that one coming!

Very nicely written, a sweet touch with the emotion. LOVE IT!

Wow, I've heard of that happening, not to turtles but still,...
Wonderful piece of work! I usually despise deathfics where one of the turtles die, but you did a great job on this one!
Bravo!

That was so touching. It was beautifully done; I had no idea that Leo was actually dead. It was so sad, I nearly started tearing up. Great job!

This is very sweet, I also have heard of stories were a person who dead communicated with a loved one. Only later, the love one finds out that they are no longer in the world of the living. I find myself wondering what happens to them afterwards and have they were able to find a way to reach the ones they loved. I guess someday I will find out just like everyone else will too. Great story, it was very sweet. ~_~
