Tonight was the premiere of a new reality show on CBS. This show, created and executive produced by Jeff Probst, best known as the host of "Survivor", is called "Live For the Moment" and takes people that have a terminal illness on the adventure of a lifetime.
Tonight's episode featured Roger Childs, a 41-year-old man from Colorado that has Lou Gerihg's Disease with a passion for space, astronomy, flying and skiing. He missed out on completing getting his pilot's license. The episode was heartbreaking, but very uplifting as Roger had the attitude of what the show is about, and that is living each day as if it were your last. And now I know that my tear ducts are working properly as I cried a little bit towards the end, when Roger's father read a letter to him from his sister. I started crying, because it was beautiful. I am a huge crier. I cry at sad movies, sad TV shows and sometimes over really stupid things I shouldn't cry over. But that's not the point. I'm a sucker for a good tearjerker every once in awhile, and this show would be a good example of that.
I really hope I can see more of this show. It seems like a wonderful idea.
That's all for today. I'm going to try to get Jeff Probst to read it (he now has a Twitter), and if he does, I will keep you posted on what he thinks.
Love y'all,
