**I'm for You is by Toby Mac.
Chapter 3: I'm for You
Tell me where its hurting
Are you burning?
Running just to catch your breath?
And going nowhere
It's getting old when you feel like you got nothing left
Well it ain't over 'til it's over
I told you since the day we met
So let me be the voice through all the noise
Whatever I gotta be
I'll be for you
Whatever you need from me
To see you through
Everyone of us has stumbled
Everybody's humbled
We hit the ground and our lives crumble
Whatever I gotta be
I'll be for you
I'm for you
If you never knew
If you never knew
I'm for you
You know it's true
I know the feeling
I know it's real when the drama's all in your face
You see a mountain I hear a promise – it's never more than we can take
Well it ain't over, 'til it's over
We can learn from our mistakes
So let me be the voice through all the noise
Everyone of us will fall
Have our backs against the wall
And everyone shares a need to be loved
You've always been for me
So I will be for you
That's just what it means to love
As the music ended Leo's image appeared on screen.
"Hey guys," Leo said softly.
They all sniffed and fought sobs.
Leo shifted forward and rested his clasped hands on his knees.
"I'm not sure how it'll happen or why, but I don't care about that…just know that I love you all. The letters I left for you will tell you all the stuff that needs to be said, but this video…is just to remind you that…I'm there still, that I love you," Leo told them.
His golden brown eyes locked with theirs as the screen faded out.
Images flicked onto the screen, pictures and short video clips of them all goofing off, arguing, laughing, Leo glaring as he shook his himself off from being soaked as Mikey laughed hysterically. Other things, little things, a picture of Don sprawled over his desk as Leo gently tried to wake him.
Master Splinter meditating in the dojo as coils of smoke rippled upward. Raph caught in shadow as he was performing a Kata. Raph watching a movie and trying to hide tears. There were a few chuckles at that. Mike setting up a prank and the shocked look when he saw the camera. April leaned over the counter at her shop with a book cradled in one hand, the other lifted up to brush a strand of hair away. Raph and Casey arguing about who got the last cookie.
The music repeated itself as the movie played on, sobs soon made their way out as the family watched the pictures and short clips go by. So many memories locked into that little computer.
Leo appeared one last time a soft, though sad, smile on his face.
"Love ya' guys," Leo whispered, "don't forget me and don't hide in sorrow. Remember I'm always for you."
The screen went dark as Leo held up a peace sign and smiled a little, a single tears trailed down his cheek.
Sobs broke out before Raph pulled Don and Mike to him and they clung together as they all wept.
"We'll remember bro," they got out.
Raph looked up at his father and knew that they were again a family, he had never been hated, but now knew that he had the heart and courage to keep going.
He would watch over all of them.
