crying over home renovation

while i'm a bit of a basketcase, i don't often cry when i watch TV but today i balled! i was watching this episode of extreme makeover: home edition and they did a story about a little 8 year old girl who just recovered from cancer. she asked if the show would go and help her make the children's hospital that she stayed at better for the other little kids. while she was a the hospital, she asked for beads from anyone who visited her so she can make necklaces and sell them to make money for cancer research. what an incredible little girl! the show got over 200 people involved and not only did they do the hospital, they also built the little girl's family and entire new home (the old home had mold in it and was affecting the little girl's health but the parents had spent all the money they had to help the girl get better and couldn't deal with the home). such a little girl but what a big heart! what an incredible inspiration.
