In Memory of Spleen

I couldn't resist...I thought Spinelli's spleen needed a funeral. If you don't know what I am talking about, you might be a few episodes behind on GH...so...disregard this! LOL

In Memory of Spleen

Spleen...You will be missed. I remember the first time you destroyed redundant blood cells in Spinelli's body. Wow, good times. Without you, Spinelli will certianly have a predisposition for certain illnesses. The left side of Spinelli's body will never be the same. When Dr. Hunter said you were like an exploded watermelon inside of Spinelli's body, my heart broke knowing you would never produce tuftsin the tetrapeptide again.

The immune system where he worked every day of his existence certainly has a heavier load on their hands now that he is gone. I know that I certainly will miss him. The way he existed behind the stomach...the red pulp that was used for mechanical filtrations...Defending his home body from infections day in and day out...

Spleen leaves behind a Liver and two Kidneys, Lefty and Righty. I know all of our hearts (and lungs, and intestines) go out to them in this, their hour of need.

Please share your memories of Spinelli's spleen in the comments...as I am sure they are to be help ease the ache of slightly for Spleen's family. Spleen, RIP!

I know for me, life will never be the same without Spleen. I wonder if they plan on doing an "In Memoriam" at the end of an episode...or maybe even a montage!! He sure was a lucky spleen, being in that body and all. God, I'll miss Spleen. :-(
