“It was time”. That’s exactly how I convinced myself too! Amelia had taken over his position in the hospital, Meredith (as she herself said in the last episode she had with him) could live without him, and as such there was more you could do with killing off the character (widowed single mother storyline) than having him on.

What did you think about yesterday’s episode? I believe it is Callie who actually won Sofia’s custody, they’re simply misleading us right now. Here’s why: https://medium.com/@pseudorandomwriter/speculation-why-i-think-callie-won-sofias-custody-on-grey-s-anatomy-49efed664e40#.f8oolmlnn

As one of the few GA fans I could find on medium, I am looking forward to your take on it!
