    my father died when i was 19 (I'm 24) a week before i went off to colleg for the first time. I dont cry often, in public that is but i sobbed like a baby infront of at least ten people. That was rare. My roomate from college who lives in another state and someone i havent talked to in some time texted me right after the show...
    
    "I dont know if your watching Greys Anatomy or not but i Love you and im sorry we lost touch"
    
    that episode had a great affect on me as well as touched friends who went through my dads death with me ... its was amazing.
    
    does anyone know the quotes from the end?

    I became a member of the Dead Dads Club myself nearly 4 years ago. This episode brought it all back and I wept - this is something I just never do watching a make believe TV show. Nothing but "Grey's Anatomy" could do this. Outstanding television drama.

    This show is unparalleled in excellence! I only wish that Burke and George had not had that spat in real life. The knowledge that they clashed offset, was a distraction for me when George was asking Burke for his opinion during last night's episode. I would like to think that they are as close in real life as they are in the show.

    as a member of the dead dad's club myself - the last 15-20 mintues of this show hit home. I knew George's dad was going to die, but I didnt think i was going to replay the memories of my own father's death while watching. I thank you for sharing this episode and your own heartbreak with us, the audience. Sometimes we need to be reminded that it's okay to cry...and its okay to unsure of how to survive in a world where the person you love, the person you wish you could save, does not.

    i thought this was an amazing show and loved the writing. i cried the whole episode. My father had kidney cancer about 6 years ago...luckly they got it quick when they were doing an ultrasound for something. Kinday cancer usually has no cure and survival once it is diagnosed. my dad was lucky they took his kidney out and he his cancer free....my dad reminds me alot of georges dad in appearance so this was a hard episode to watch....
    sorry that the writer had to go through this in real life.....

    My husband and I have different dad situations. My dad died from lung cancer 6 years ago and his dad is in the later stages of alzheimers in a nursing home. This episode brought us both to tears. It is hard to believe that a tv show can bring out so much emotion to viewers. I think that the actor that played George's dad is to be commended. I said out loud last night that I did not want to lose that character, he was so much fun. Keep Georges family coming back even for a little while so the viewers can greive a little. Silly huh?

    I cried thru the last 15-20 minutes of the show...I'm still in shock, and can't believe that such good writing and acting can be done...I've never cried for a show. Until this show, I've know cried twice, once when Deny died but this one was so real and true. and when the wife went to go kiss him on the mounth one last time, that was painfell. I'm truely sorry for you losing your Father that way. As the comment before me says, "it has to give some relief to relive it and make your own ending!".

    I was crying and I was trying to prepare myself for that. I liked that Christina went to talk to him once he came out of the room, I thought that was appropiate. I am sorry that someone actually had to lose a loved one in that manner, but it has to give some relief to relive it and make your own ending!
