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

Well I cannot believe that the journey is over-it was such a long, heart wrenching, and joyous story at times. These final two chapters were so wonderfully written. I really liked that te whole "family" went wit Tim on the car ride home to see his family. I liked that they packed the journey home with a few surprises such as the motel and etc. Then the reunion with both families were wow! I loved that Tim wanted to reconcile both sides of his family-and I loved the scene between Tim's parent's and Gibbs. It was nice to see both sides try to mend their broken bridges for the sake of Tim.

Then the epilogue was wonderful. I was happy that every member of the team was there for Tim in their own way-the girls were there to act as lifelines that planted him in the present, while the men were there to help him face the reasoning behind him coming there. You also sprinkled in some nice moments with Tony. The final line where Timmy says I want to come home was a long time coming and I was very happy that he came to this conclusion. Ahhhhh cannot wait to read the endings of your other stories as well what other stories the two of you come up with. Bravo!

Wow i wonder what he is going to decide. He's got to come back it won't be the same without him.

would be nice if he went back, though personally I would love to see him move on to another agency or another NCIS location. Just to mix things up and mess with people.

great story!

I love Tony's parting words to Tim, it was well said. I know it wil take time but I hope they all heal eventually
