Woman reunited with officer she credits with saving her life

A SPECIAL REUNION BETWEEN A WOMAN AND THE POLICE OFFICER SHOULD CREDITS WITH SAVING HER LIFE. EMILY: IN NOVEMBER 2010 THIS PERSON RESPONDED TO A WELL-BEING CHECK. THE WOMAN WAS WITH HER YOUNG DAUGHTER. SHE SAID IT WAS ONE OF THE WORST DAYS OF HER LIFE THAT THE OFFICER SHOWED COMPASSION, OFFERING A RIGHT TO A RELATIVE’S AND SPOKE ABOUT A BETTER LIFE FOR HER DAUGHTER. THAT RESONATED WITH HER, AND NOW SHE’S EIGHT YEARS SOBER, AND OFFERED HER SOBRIETY MEDALLION TO OFFICER MORSE. >> MEETING HIM ON THAT NIGHT, WHAT I DID, WAS, IT CHANGED ME FOR THE BETTER. IT MADE ME A BETTER HUMAN BEING, A BETTER MOM AND I WANTED HIM TO KNOW HOW GRATEFUL I WAS. HE CHANGED MY LIFE. EMILY: OFFICER MORSE SAYS RECEIVING THE MEDALLION WAS ONE OF THE HIGHLIGHTS OF HIS CAREER. BATSON’S DAUGHTER IS NOW 10, AND SHE HAS A SEVEN-YEAR-OLD SON. SHE WORKS FOR THE COMMUNITY CENTER AND SAYS SHE WANTS TO CONTINUE TO PAY IT FORWARD. BEN: THAT IS AN INCREDIBLE STORY.
