George: I don't know how to exist in a world in which my father doesn't.
Christina: Yeah, that never really changes.

I knew there had to be a reason why Christina is my favorite character.

Why Gannet? Why Search the Sea?
- Gannet Girl
- Gannets are enormous and sleek creamy-white seabirds, with black wingtips, yellow heads and necks, and startlingly outlined eyes. They nest on the rocky cliffs of the European and North American coasts of the North Atlantic and, once grown, spend their days sailing across the ocean. The acrobatics by which they make their living ~ steep climbs into the air and speedy plunges straight into the sea ~ are rivaled only by those of pelicans. What better metaphor for a sweeping search of one's life choices and opportunities than a gannet extended above the waves, a regal and yet restless surveyor of the vast ocean surface? The gannet reminds us that life is an adventure in both beauty and profound unease, and that the sea itself is limitless in its textures and possibilities.

Sometimes the kernels of truth, wisdom, vision, and, as you say, just plain rightonness coming out of a sitcom character's mouth have so much insight I want to keep a notepad by the sofa. I admire TV scriptwriters no end.

I could barely watch the show last night, I was crying so hard. It hit too close to home for me and brought back too many memories of making that decision for my father and holding his hand while I let him go. The episode was so perfect. And today, I found out why: The Grey's writer was drawing from personal experience. GO to greyswriters.com to see what she wrote.
