I've seen them do that too, but I've wondered about the times they don't show that sort of thing.

Remember the family of the epileptic who lived in a shack basically? I wondered how they went from that to that huge house.

Hopefully they always keep that sort of thing in mind. Surely they do. They do seem to be pretty sincere in wanting to make people's lives better.

Good... Then they aren't leaving them with huge (hugh) bills. I can respect that.

We watch this show every week with our kids. I think it is one of the few things on TV I encourage them to watch. My hubby and I call it our weekly cry time. They are doing good things for good people.

Looking forward to seeing this show. It's wonderful to hear that Lori's little ones will be provided for.

The show was extremely moving. What was good was that they built a veterans' center on the res and the opening ceremony was beautiful.

I missed that part of the show.

You can see that Lori came from a very loving family. What a wonderful thing to see our soldiers' children being provided for. Bless them.
