A Sentimental Fool. That's Me.

WARNING: DONT READ THIS IF YOU HAVENT WATCHED GREY'S ANATOMY S05E19. DONT. BECAUSE THIS IS A REAL SPOILER.

Derek: Hey. come on in. This is the CT for Katie Bryce--16-year-old female, subarachnoid aneurysm.

Meredith: From a fall during rhythmic gymnastics. I remember.

Derek: It was the first surgery we ever scrubbed in together on, our first save. Right here is a cerebral cyst. Tough save, but we did it. I kissed you in the stairwell after the surgery. And this right here is where dr. Bailey kicked you out of the surgery because she caught us in your driveway in my car.
And right here--this is a 7-hour craniotomy, and you held the clamp the entire time, never flinched. That's when I knew you were gonna be an incredible surgeon.
And Beth Monroe, who made our clinical trial a success by surviving. You talked me into putting her under. That's when I knew I needed you.
And this is today. Post-op head CT of Izzie Stevens.
You see that?
Tumor free...
Because of you.
You got me into the OR.
If there's a crisis, you don't freeze.
You move forward.
You get the rest of us to move forward,
Because you've seen worse, you've survived worse.
And you know we'll survive, too.
You say you're all... dark and twisty,
But that's not a flaw.
It's a strength.
It makes you who you are.
I'm not gonna get down on one knee.
I'm not gonna ask a question.
I love you, meredith grey.
And I want to spend the rest of my life with you.
