Opening monologue: Meredith Grey
The best gift I ever got was for Christmas when I was ten.
My very first suture kit. I used it until my fingers bled.
And then I tried to use it to stitch up my fingers.
It put me on the path to becoming a surgeon.
My point is, sometimes the best gifts come in really
surprising packages.
Closing monologue: Meredith Grey
Everyday, we get to give the gift of life.
It can be painful. It can be terrifying. But in the end,
it's worth it; Every time. We all have the opportunity
to give. Maybe the gifts are not as dramatic as what
happens in the operating room. Maybe the gift is to
try and make a simple apology.
Maybe it's to understand another persons point of view.
Maybe it's to hold a secret for a friend.
The joy supposedly is in the giving. So when the joy is
gone, when the giving starts to feel more like a burden,
that's when you stop.
But if you're like most people I know, you give till it hurts...
and then you give some more.
