Extreme Makeover - home edition

Does anyone else watch this show! I just love it - it makes you feel so good that they can help out these needy families. Makes you really appreciate your own life. Plus Ty is fine TV watching!

Did anyone see last night's 2 hour episode. That story just broke my heart!

I saw just the end of it, the house was beautiful! (as they always turn out to be!)

What was the deal with the family? Were they not married? I was a bit confused on their situation, as I saw that they both had gotten seperate rooms?

He was a single father raising his 2 kids and a niece. Came over from Jamaica about 7 years ago, fixing the hous himself. They got hit hard by Hurricane Wilma, pretty much took the roof of their house. This past February he got diagnosised with a rare form of aggressive cancer. The woman is his other sister and her 2 kids. She moved in when he got sick to take care of him and his kids. They didn't think he would survive to the end of the construction - he ended up in the hospital with a serious down turn in health mid construction. They don't expect him to live long. His dying wish was basically to have a home for his family as he was too sick to repair the house after the hurricane!

I think starting next week, they are re-building a good chunk of New Orleans I don't know how many houses they are doing, It looked like about 10 at least. A whole community get stocked up on the tissues a real cry fest, a good cry though

It is often a cry fest! My poor hubby asked if I was hacking up a furball last night I got so choked up. It is bad enough without the pregnancy hormones!

I love that show! I watch it everytime it comes on. Lastnights episode... that made me cry.

Yup - he had to watch them getting the house from his hospital bed!

Love the show, too.

Ty is cute, but I like Eduardo!

I LOVE that show. It's one I DVR. I have a whole bunch that I haven't watched yet. My husband doesn't really like it - he can't handle Ty yelling LOL so I try to watch those when he's not home.

I can't watch one episode without crying.
