   (Review this title)
The star is Bailey, 31 August 2011
Author: otomen from Malaysia

*** This review may contain spoilers ***

I know season 5 being a little bit hasty to the fan especially with the Denny Ghost Sex. Though, I've no opinion about that story plot. anyways, This episode is about a kids with tay-sachs and a father who wont accept the fact. I dare you not to cry to this episode because trust me, 9/10 people I asked said they cried to this episode. The ending with the father holding the child and the kids finally dies and the look of Miranda, makes me tear up. I suggest who hasn't watch this episode to catch because this is one of the episode that define Grey's Anatomy.

10/20
