- TWO WEEKS AGO,
WE SENT JEANNIE TO ONE OF THE COLDEST PLACES IN THE COUNTRY
TO SURPRISE ONE OF THE SWEETEST FAMILIES WE'VE EVER MET.
TAKE A LOOK.
THE BAD NEWS IS,
MANY OF YOU ARE EXPERIENCING RECORD-LOW TEMPERATURES
ALL OVER THE COUNTRY,
BUT THE GOOD NEWS IS, WHILE YOU'RE STUCK INSIDE,
YOU'VE HAD SOME FREE TIME TO WRITE INTO OUR WEBSITE
AND SEND IN HOME VIDEOS.
- HI, I'M TRISH BESSETTE, AND I LIVE IN SOUTH HERO, VERMONT.
OKAY, ELLEN, THIS IS MY HUSBAND, JOE.
- HELLO.
- NEXT, I'M GONNA SHOW YOU MY YOUNGEST DAUGHTER, MACIE.
- HI, ELLEN.
- HI, MEGAN.
- HI. - SAY HI TO ELLEN.
- HI, ELLEN.
- IT WAS WAY TO COLD FOR US TO BRING THEM HERE,
SO WE SENT JEANNIE THERE.
[laughter]
[all screaming]
- I LOVE THAT YOU SENT IN THAT VIDEO
AND THAT YOU WATCH THE SHOW.
I KNOW THAT YOU'RE GOING THROUGH A LOT THIS YEAR,
AND WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THIS YEAR WAS BETTER THAN LAST YEAR,
SO WE GOT YOU SOMETHING.
WE GOT YOU ALL OF OUR 12 DAYS OF GIVEAWAYS,
EVERYTHING THAT WE GAVE AWAY.
[cheers and applause]
I'LL SEE YOU AT THE SHOW.
WE'RE GONNA FLY YOU IN,
SO I'LL SEE YOU SOON AT THE SHOW, ALL RIGHT?
COME ON DOWN.
[cheers and applause]
SO WHEN'S THE LAST TIME YOU HAD A FAMILY VACATION?
- OOH.
IT'S BEEN QUITE AWHILE.
FOR FIVE YEARS, WE USED TO TAKE A FEW DAYS
AND GO UP TO MAINE ON THE COAST.
- MM-HMM. - BUT IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME.
- I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE HERE.
AND IT'S HARD TO GET AWAY
'CAUSE YOUR SCHEDULES ARE SO CRAZY BUSY RIGHT NOW TOO.
- YEP.
- BECAUSE YOUR HOURS ARE--
YOU GET UP AT, LIKE, 4:00 A.M., RIGHT, JOE?
- RIGHT.
- AND YOU'RE WORKING CONSTRUCTION?
SO IT'S OUTSIDE? - CONSTRUCTION, OUTSIDE, YEAH.
THIS--THIS WINTER, YEAH.
- AND THEN WHAT TIME DO YOU GET HOME AROUND?
- I GET OUT--I GET HOME AROUND 3:00, 3:30.
- 3:00, 3:30, AND YOU'RE PROBABLY IN BED
BY THE TIME YOU GET HOME 'CAUSE YOU'RE WORKING--
TRISH, YOU'RE WORKING TWO JOBS, RIGHT?
- YEP. - WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
- UM, I WORK DURING THE DAY AT WILLIS CAPTIVE MANAGEMENT,
AN OFFICE JOB.
HI, EVERYONE.
AND YANKEE CANDLE, ALSO, AT NIGHT.
YEP.
- AND YOU'RE WORKING, ALSO, TWO JOBS.
- YEAH, I WORK TWO JOBS, AND I'M A FULL-TIME STUDENT
AT CHAMPLAIN COLLEGE.
- WOW, MACIE?
- I GO TO SCHOOL. - OKAY.
[laughter]
THAT'S ALL RIGHT. THAT'S ENOUGH.
THIS HAS BEEN, REALLY, A TOUGH YEAR.
THAT'S WHY WE SURPRISED YOU AND GAVE YOU ALL THE 12 DAYS
BECAUSE FIRST, YOU LOST YOUR JOB, AFTER WHAT?
LIKE, 21 YEARS OR SOMETHING.
- 26 YEARS. - 26 YEARS.
AND YOU LOSE YOUR JOB.
AND THEN RIGHT AFTER THAT,
YOU FIND OUT YOU HAVE BREAST CANCER.
- YEP.
- AND WHEN DO YOU START TREATMENT?
WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH THAT NOW?
- THAT HAPPENED LAST JANUARY,
AND THEN MY FIRST MAMMOGRAM SINCE HAVING THE CANCER
WAS TWO DAYS BEFORE CHRISTMAS,
AND I FOUND OUT THE CANCER WAS BACK.
- MM-HMM.
- SO WE STARTED THIS YEAR JUST LIKE WE DID LAST YEAR.
A COUPLE SURGERIES--I JUST HAD SURGERY LAST THURSDAY.
- WOW. - YEP.
- LOOK AT YOU.
YOU'RE UP AND WALKING AROUND, AND YOU LOOK GREAT.
- I'M SEEING YOU!
[cheers and applause]
YOU'RE THE ONLY THERAPY I NEEDED.
- AH, WELL...
THAT MAKES ME FEEL REALLY GOOD.
AND WHEN WE GET BACK TO VERMONT,
I'LL START RADIATION FOR 6 1/2 WEEKS.
- OKAY, WELL--AND YOU'RE GONNA WATCH ME EVERY DAY.
I'M GONNA MAKE YOU LAUGH AND SMILE.
- YOU DO-- YOU ARE THE BEST THERAPY.
- WELL, MY FRIENDS AT SHUTTERFLY
LOVE HELPING US CHANGE PEOPLE'S LIVES.
SO THEY SENT THIS IN
BECAUSE THEY WANTED TO GIVE YOU THIS.
[all gasping]
- OH, MY GOD!
- IT'S $10,000.
[cheers and applause]
- I LOVE SHUTTERFLY.
- I LOVE SHUTTERFLY TOO. - I LOVE SHUTTERFLY.
- WE ALL LOVE SHUTTERFLY.
WE'LL BE BACK WITH BRUNO MARS.
