"Dad, Mom. It’s me. I’m calling from Seattle Grace Hospital where the beautiful, talented and incredibly stubborn Dr. Isobel Stevens has… she’s given me a brand new heart and promised to marry me. I know we’ve had our differences and I’m sorry we’ve been out of touch. Believe it or not, I was trying to make everything better. I know you’re angry but I hope you’ll forgive me. It turns out, sometimes you have to do the wrong thing. Sometimes you have to make a big mistake to figure out how to make things right. The stakes are painful. But they’re the only way to find out who you really are. I know who I am now. And I know what I want. I’ve got the love of my life, a new heart and I want you guys to get on the next plane out here and meet my girl. Everything’s going to be different now, I promise. From here on out, nothing’s every going to be the same again. I love you, bye."
