Shonda Rhimes is not the hero we deserved, but the hero we needed.

She not only gave us a monumental show, but also blessed us with quite a few beautifully magnificent men. From dreamy to steamy, she has it all.

Thanks to Netflix, we too, can have it all.

She gave us love stories, she gave us heartbreaks, she gave us everything.

While re-watching Grey's for the umpteenth time – between crying spells – I decided I would put together a list of the men that Shonda Rhimes has blessed us with over the years.

Shonda Rhimes will go down in history as the woman who created "Grey's Anatomy." Everyone knows what Grey's is, no matter who they are. It's just that show. The show we love and loathe. It has it all. It has us all.

Without further ado, here are 11 Grey's Anatomy men to be thankful for:

1. Derek Shepherd.

Brb. Crying.

2. Alex Karev.

Karev is the bad boy that our parents tell us to avoid in high school. Yet, we just don't know how, because beyond that rugged exterior is a sensitive teddy bear.

3. Mark Sloan.

McSteamy. Brb. Crying again.

4. Jackson Avery.

I mean, what else do you need to know? Look at those eyes! Be careful though, don't get lost.

5. Owen Hunt.

He just wants to have kids, man. He just wants a family, and I love him. The end.

6. Denny.

As I wrote this, I was crying because of Denny.

7. Ben Warren.

Ben Warren is the show's husband figure. He is just great.

8. Andrew Deluca.

I don't need to say anything else. Just look at the picture.

9. Nathan Riggs.

He came out of nowhere, and stole our hearts.

10. Richard Webber.

Richard Webber is like the dad who fights his own demons, but always knows exactly what to say.

11. George O'Malley.

I can't.

So, there you have it. Some broke our hearts. Some lived to fix them. They all impacted us in some way.

If you've never watched "Greys Anatomy," I suggest you begin.

I won't go into detail, but the men are the least thing to be thankful for from Grey's Anatomy. It is heartfelt, heartbreaking, and just down right incredible. Shonda Rhimes deserves all the awards.
