I saved the new series of Extreme Makeover Home Edition up on Sky+ and I just watched one about the Grys family. Now all these shows touch the heart but this one was special, I was actually crying and laughing at the same time watching it. So if its repeated, those of you who have access to the Home Channel, please please don't miss it.
As I said it was the Grys family. They have fostered over 250 children and specialise in disabled kids. They have adopted twin girls born with alcohol fetal syndrome which left them with brain damage. But the star of the show and the one that will capture your heart is Jake who is 8. He was born with every bone in his body broken. He has brittle bone syndrome and dwarfism and he is the most special little guy you've ever seen. He's the size of an 18 month old and will never grow bigger but what a big heart.
They designed this house with everything on the level for him to use, and at his height. It was so lovely, if you see it repeated, and its bound to be, please watch it, it will touch you in such a special way and it makes you feel ashamed if you ever feel the slightest bit sorry for yourself.
