4.11 Lay Your Hands on me

I have finally calmed down enough to write what I thought of the eppy.  At first I was upset, they broke up.  If you don't know who I'm talking about, you're clearly not a Mer/Der fan.  But I believe in order for them to get to the next step they need to break up.  
Mer is facing her issues and maybe she does need to focus on herself without Derek.  Derek, I can't say I can understand how he can go from the love of his life to kissing a nurse and then asking her out.  But he can be hard to figure out sometimes.  He doesn't think with his head, and he doesn't know how to be alone.  He wants the dream, the house, the kids, the marriage.  What he isn't realizing is having all of that without the one person, the love of his life, isn't going to be what he really wants.  Is having all that with someone else really worth losing the love of your life?  I'm hoping Rose will open your eyes and make you see and appreciate Meredith.  She is trying, she is getting there.  I know it might not seem fair to Derek, but when you love someone, the way he loves her, he should be waiting.  He needs to get through his issues.  He is an avoider to.  So while Meredith is growing and working on herself, Derek will date.  Derek will avoid his issues.  But Derek will soon realize that having the dream he thinks he wants so bad, isn't worth it, if the love of your life isn't in the picture.
