Like I said they couldn't be a more deserving family.

Wow! I can't wait to see this episode. They do sound like a very deserving family.

from the news article The youngest, Dolly, 14, and Theresa, 12, say they want angels resembling their parents painted on their bedroom ceilings.

That just made me cry and cry How awful and sad for those kids to lose both parents within weeks of each other...

They truly are a deserving family! Glad Trading Spaces Home Free is over so I won't miss a minute of this episode!!

Tears rolling down my face. They deserve this make over and God Bless. Can't wait to see the episode on tv.

Hey Meagan, they also showed this on channel 2 this morning (Fox).

I love this show. I think it is the best thing that ABC has ever done and I never miss it.

Meagan:
Does this family live in your area?
I saw this show once and I loved it. It was just AMAZING what they did to the house (added another floor, put a little pond in the backyard, etc....). I will definitely tune in for this episode.

They live a couple of towns over. Some of the crew has been in here this week and they are really excited I can't wait to see the outcome.

Wow, what a deserving family! I love this show--it really makes peoples dreams come true.

Way cool!!!! Every time I see this show, I cry and cry. It is absolutely wonderful!

I need to watch every episode of Extreme Home Makeover with a box of tissues.

What always gets me is the Sears commercial at the end:
something like...

"5 deisgners
7 days
4 appliances
247 craftsmen tools
1 deserving family

welcome home XXX family

now - to Ty's big surprise"

I totally lose it there!

I saw an article somewhere about this family that lost their parents. Their parents were in the early or mid 40's too. It scared the crap out of me how young these parents were. I think People did an article on the kids, or Parents magazine.

Wow I can't wait for the show, and I wonder if Ty is sending them to Disney too, that totally warms my heart.

This family got a lot of community support. Groups went over to do yardwork and some basic home repairs. It's so cool that they're going to get the whole make-over now. I admire those kids for staying together.

Yup - they're in WDW this week! - they come home on Monday to the reveal.

 

[Rajah]

Fantastic, how wonderful! Will someone here please post an announcement when the episode is due to air? If I'm not out of town, I want to watch that one. I've never caught one before, but I want to see this one.

I love this show and always want to cry. This article is so touching.
