I just watched one of the most incredible shows
It's very hard to make me cry. Well, sometimes. I think it's easy when it comes to happy things, and that's what happened tonight. I was watching the last half hour of Extreme Makeover Home Edition where they remake people's homes. This one was a two hour special where they redid a three-story house in a handicap accessible fashion for this one family. It was pretty amazing. I can't really describe what they did, but there was an elevator, special refrigerators, tables, showers, bathtubs, a pool. Unbelievable. I think the kitchen had like four sinks alone with extra wide areas around the island so wheelchairs could fit.
Each kid had their own bedroom tailored to suit their needs and wants, and many had their own customized bathroom. It was pretty amazing.
Then they showed the pool in the backyard. And then they paid off the family's mortgage. Then they started a $300,000 trust fund so the kids could go to college. Then they gave the family a car.
It was completely mind-boggling, and I realize ABC can probably afford to do all this while still being profitable, but the fact that they went as far as they did was just amazing. Something like 2,000 volunteers took care of everything. It was just unbelievable.
I didn't cry, but I almost did. I'm hoping a torrent site has it somewhere so I can watch the first 90 minutes.
