Family celebration.

Cause for Celebration A few weeks after Peter's time with the family, the Rogozenski's throw a party celebrating daughter Laura's graduation from college. They are able to invite Joel's family over to share in their "new" home.

"The thing that I learned is it's not really the material items, its your relationship with your spouse, and your family, making sure the girls were dealing with my illness and live for the moment and just be happy," says Joel.

"I'll always remember Peter for what he's done for us," says Paula. "And we're more than thankful for giving us our dream, basically."
