did you say it?

i'm not a faithful grey's watcher.  i've only seen two episodes.  they both happened to be season finales.  but i have to say that after watching the season 5 finale, i really want to see the rest.  it rocked my world.  a big group of us got together to watch it on ben's tivo and, by the end, we were a room full of blubbering fools.  there wasn't a dry eye in the room.  i am in love  with the message of the episode.  it was summed up beautifully in meredith's final monologue.  

"did you say it?  i love you.  i don't ever wanna live without you.  you changed my life... did you say it?  make a plan.  set a goal.  work toward it.  but every now then, look around.  drink it in.  'cause this is it.  it might all be gone tomorrow."
