Good to see you. In Arizona, this is a heartfelt reunion between Debbie Freeman and members of the Phoenix Fire Department. Last November, she collapsed in a local restaurant, going into cardiac arrest. Now stronger, she credits this team's quick response with saving her life. Debbie and her life partner, Michael Berry, forever grateful. Those seconds is what saved her life.

[00:00:25]

Don't make me cry, but it doesn't seem like enough. But it was really important that we come and let them know.

[00:00:33]

All we're going to do is we're going to lift them. And there was this high-flying retirement surprise for longtime School Resource Officer Troy and Sara near St. Louis. All good? All right, here we go. That's Troy waving goodbye from a ride donated by local pilot Matt Lumber. After 27 years in law enforcement and 12 years at the school, Troy's leaving to pursue his dream of getting a commercial airline pilot's license. I'm signing off for the final time. Congratulations, sir. Thank you. Take 1,5, one more, Charlie. In California, three-year-old Jayla Flores has a condition that makes walking really hard without help. But look at this breakthrough moment. She's with her brother Joseph when she gets up the stairs all by herself. Those small steps, a proud moment for both Jaila and her big brother. And this moment is about going above and beyond. That's Travis Goldman and the team from the Greenville, South Carolina Public Works Department, after they pulled off the impossible finding Melanie Harper's lost anniversary ring among mountains of recycling. The guys didn't even think twice about sorting through it all to help a neighbor in need.

[00:01:59]

Yeah, just thrilled to have it back on my finger where I think it belongs.

[00:02:03]

You ever think about when you were looking for it, what it is that it meant for someone that you didn't know?

[00:02:09]

If it was somebody that, I lived in Hannah Reign, I want somebody to find their room, too.

[00:02:16]

Unbelievable. These are things that just never happen. Essentially, figured that you'd never see that again.

[00:02:25]

I was shocked.

[00:02:26]

Their help is a lesson Melanie says she will never forget.

[00:02:30]

Also makes me think to maybe go above and beyond in my daily interactions. What can I do to move forward and spread that kindness that was done to me?
