Cry me a river

Okay I have to blog about Extreme Makeover Home Edition. I was watching that show last night and it is seriously of the devil. I mean, once you start watching it, you cannot stop. It is a tear jerker extraordinaire... and even when you can just see the manipulation, you still can't help getting a little choked up. Damnit, damn my emo traits.

Last night it was this family where the little girl has cancer (sniff) and she's only six (sob) and she has to live at the hospital with her mom (moan) because their family lives in a single trailer (arghh) so she's separated from her twin sister (ahhhhhh) and her big brother and sister (ohhhh) and her daddy (wahhhhh) and they all miss each other SO MUCH (bawwwwlll).

So the team basically built them a two level massive house which was like SO spectacular it made me wish i were disadvantaged and could get a nice house. And the design team sniffled and sobbed all the way through the show. And there were meaningful sequences like the little girl with cancer playing in the yard, and getting tired, and then saying at bed time 'only 3 days before i go home'... or when she said 'i want to stay on earth because i don't know what it's like up in heaven'. OH SWOON IN ANGUISH.

seriously. i teared up. at the end. when they were all hugging and crying over the cool new house. emo and out.
