Grey's Anatomy says goodbye to Ellen Pompeo's Meredith Grey

Meredith Grey is scrubbing out! In anticipation of Ellen Pompeo's final -- at least for now -- appearance as Meredith on the Feb. 23 episode of Grey's Anatomy, ABC released an emotional video tribute paying homage to Ellen's 19 seasons on the medical drama.

Set to a cover of Snow Patrol's Chasing Cars, which was first used in the climax of the Grey's season two finale, the Feb. 16 video shows the many exhilarating highs and the sometimes crushing lows of Meredith's time in Seattle.

"I have a lot of memories of people," Meredith says through a voiceover. "This is the place where I fell in love. The place where I found my family."

The tribute features clips featuring former Grey's favorites like George (T.R. Knight), Izzie (Katherine Heigl), Cristina (Sandra Oh), Addison (Kate Walsh) and, of course, Derek (Patrick Dempsey).

Despite the nostalgic send-off, Grey's fans can rest easy knowing that Meredith will be back before they know it.
