In all honesty, we didnt know Greys Anatomy could survive without Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo) and Cristina Yangs (Sandra Oh) friendship. Fans were devastated when the Cardio God left in season 10. And while the Shondaland series continues to thrive, we still miss the MerTina Twisted Sisters. So here are a few Meredith and Cristina moments from Greys Anatomy that will seriously make you want to dance it out.

The first few seasons of Greys Anatomy formally established Meredith and Cristina as soulmates. In the season 2 episode titled Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head, Meredith finds out Cristina is pregnant with Preston Burkes (Isaiah Washington) baby. Then at the end of the episode, Cristina reveals she wants an abortion. She also put Meredith down as an emergency contact at the clinic.
Thats why I told you Im pregnant. Youre my person, Cristina says.
This revealed how close Meredith and Cristina became after meeting. Its also the first time the two women used Youre my person, which was used many times throughout the series.
Now, the phrase has somewhat retired, as Meredith became her own person following Cristina and Alex Karevs (Justin Chambers) exit. But we have no doubts Meredith is still the first person Cristina would call if she murdered someone and needed help dragging the corpse across the living room floor.

Cristinas departure from Greys Anatomy was one of the most heartbreaking moments in the shows history. In the season 10 finale, the cardio surgeon left for a big opportunity in Switzerland. But before her exit, Cristina and Meredith danced it out for one last time to Where Does the Good Go by Tegan and Sara.
Then right before walking out the door, Cristina left Meredith with one solid piece of advice.
You are a gifted surgeon with an extraordinary mind. Dont let what he wants eclipse what you need, Cristina said. He is very dreamy, but he is not the sun. You are.

Throughout Greys Anatomy Season 16, viewers have noticed Cristinas presence via text messages with Meredith. The two friends continue to keep in touch and Cristina even delivered a hot new package Cormac Hayes (Richard Flood) to Grey Sloan Memorial.
But nothing got us quite like Cristinas letter to the medical commission during Merediths medical license hearing in My Shot. The letter also referenced her final goodbye.
People who know me would describe me as selfish to a fault, Cristina wrote. After that, theyd say, honest. I can honestly tell you that if I were dying and a surgery stood between me and death, Dr. Greys hands are the only ones Id want inside my body.
She continued, Taking away her license is signing the death certificates of countless future patients. She is a light in a broken system that she will fix, whether you want her to or not. She is the sun and she is unstoppable.
Cristinas letter about Merediths character proved the women still have each others backs, even after all these years. And if that doesnt touch your heart, we dont know what will.
