We sat down last night to watch some tv and after flipping through some channels, we landed on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. I ended up crying through most of the hour. If you have never seen the show...the idea is that Ty Pennington and his design team help people who have had a hard go of it rebuild their house...to be much better then it was before...and they refurnish it as well.
Last night they chose a mom who had 6 kids. Her and her husband had finally bought their first home and he was fixing it up for her. He was working on the basement trying to stop a leak and fix the problem. On Christmas Eve 2005 he started having flu like symptoms so he went to bed. In the middle of the night his wife...who was nursing their 24 day old baby that dad had delivered at home....noticed that he was having a seizure. She called to their 10 year old dtr to call 911 and they both started performing CPR. He ended up dying that night on Christmas Eve. They found out later that the mold in the basement from the leak was the reason for the seizure and his death.
Well....I gone. I cried for the whole hour. They built her a beautiful home. They also built it with wood that was dipped in a chemical so that it would never mold. She could have peace of mind that her kids will never suffer like her husband did.
They made a special garden in the back in honour of their Dad. It was very moving.
Anyway...it is a good show if you like to cry a bit!!
It made me very thankful for my healthy family!!!!!!!
