A very touching story of a couple who unfortunately lost their micro preemie.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this show.  You can bet I'll be crying (as usual for this one!!) They will be honoring a family with a preemie this Sunday.   They are big supporters of March of Dimes too.

Extreme Makeover: Home Edition will focus this Sunday's 8 p.m. (ET) episode on a March of Dimes volunteer family from outside Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas, whose child was born prematurely and whose home was later destroyed by a flood.

This micro-preemie (Austin was a m-p too!) was choosen as March of Dimes Ambassador of the Year.  What a amazing little girl!!!
