Mom Makes Beautiful Offer to Cop Who Saved Her Baby’s Life a Year Ago

For Kemira Boyd, June 11, 2019, will be a day she never forgets.

The South Carolina mom had just given birth to her baby, Ryleigh, 12 days earlier. But on that fateful day, Boyd’s daughter nearly died if not for the heroic actions of Will Kimbro.

A year later, Boyd made a heartwarming offer to the Berkeley County Sheriff’s Office deputy that would tie the two together forever.

So what happened on that scary June day a year ago?

Kimbro pulled Boyd over for speeding. Only he realized very quickly that this was more than a routine traffic stop.

The distressed mother rushed out of the car and alerted the deputy that her baby was not breathing after drinking from a bottle.

Kimbro’s bodycam recorded the officer massaging Ryleigh’s chest while saying, “Open those eyes, sweetheart.”

Thankfully, Ryleigh did indeed breathe again and has been healthy ever since.

Interestingly, Kimbro and his wife, Carole, have stayed close with Boyd and her baby. The mom even attended a proclamation ceremony for her savior.

And the week after Ryleigh turned 1, Boyd ensured that the bond will never be broken.

When Kimbro and his wife came by to see the new mom, Boyd handed Kimbro and Carole scratch-off cards and a penny.

What the deputy found underneath will truly make your heart melt.

“Will you be my godfather?”

The couple immediately said yes, as Kimbro reflected on the impact of that June 11 encounter.

“[I] always asked myself, what was the reason I went down that street?

There were five, six, seven other streets I could have gone down before going down that particular road.

I could never answer that question. I just stopped trying. God works in mysterious ways.”

It just goes to show how a single moment can turn into a life-changing miracle.

Way to go, Deputy Kimbro!
