Don't you dare laugh or roll your eyes.
I think it's a real good programme. You should watch.
They really pick the best candidates for whom their lives would be changed.

Today's episode concerns a Filipino family who migrated over to the states for better medical care and education.
Why medical care, you ask? Here's the touching part.

Father - born with a genetic eye disorder, where his iris doesn't function and eventually he became blind
Mother - normal
2 Daughters - inherited Dad's blindness, iris not functioning well, legally blind but can see blurred vision, may eventually become blind
Son - born deaf because Mother contracted the German measles during his pregnancy
Grandma - fully blind

Imagine that. But you know what? They are such happy people. They grin from one ear to the other. No resentment, no discontent, no nothing. All joy.

They sooooo deserve this change.

What would you feel if you were in that position?

Certainly W.O.W-ed me
