There was a time when I wanted to sit down and watch one of the most popular reality shows on the tube. It was good because, in this case, people were getting a lot of help for their families. I’m talking about Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. It still comes on on Sunday nights but we don’t watch anymore. This is difficult to say but they got to be pretty much the same thing each week. Yet, I believe that they are doing a great thing. I am just not sure I could put my family through what they go through to get on that show. Whew!
So many times, though, they are helping people with such heavy problems. There were the ones where the returning vet gets help for him and his family because he was wounded and could no longer provide for the family. There were others who had a member of the family that was sick with some very heart wrenching disease like mesothelioma cancer that comes from being exposed to asbestos or another thing where a girl could not stand to be out in the sunlight. Something bad happened to her skin. I cannot remember. But what I did remember is that each and every family that was helped got a new or reconstructed home to live in when the crew was done. Now I think that is worth the effort, don’t you? I just couldn’t watch the pain part anymore.
