I recently heard that my mailman had saved the life of someone.  When I asked him, he said that there was a woman who had a heart attack and he administered CPR until the medics came.  They continued, but thought she was dead; however they eventually revived her.  They thought she had actually died and credited him with having kept her alive.

It seems that the 56 year old woman got in touch with her savior.  She is doing well now.

I'm guessing that's not him in the picture.

 

(But "yay!" for his quick thinking and action!)

That's a great story.  My mailman is a jewel too......I hope he never retires.  I bet your mailman feels really good about what he did!

@faeriemoon  No, that is a portrait by Van Gogh of his mailman.

Same here, his fill-ins when he is on vacation or has his day off are idiots.

I thought that this background information from the MOMA was interesting:

It was not her time, THE SAVIOR sent the messenger by postal carrier for revival.   That is so nice.
