I've had so many kind things done for me in my life that it's so hard to pick one, but I'm going to pick this one because I was hitchhiking on the side of the road when I was 17, 16 years old. I think I was 16. in Albuquerque, New Mexico. And I'd gotten kicked out of Denny's because I overstayed my welcome in there with the bottomless cup of coffee. And it was in the middle of the winter.

And I went into a gas station and I got kicked out of the gas station. I ran out of options. So I went out to the freeway and stuck my thumb out and started hitchhiking. I got hypothermia and I started feeling my body shut down and I knew I was probably moments away from death. And that's when an RV pulled up. I was with a boyfriend at the time. He's like, God told me to stop for her. Not you.

He pointed to my boyfriend, which was kind of mean. And he said, but her. And he said, but since you're with her, just get in. And so they picked me up off the ground because I was not able to move anymore and brought me into the RV and put a blanket on top of me. And he gave me hot chocolate. And he said, where are you going? And I said, I'm going to Flagstaff, Arizona.

And the next thing I knew, I woke up and I was delivered to the front doorsteps of my mother's home at the time. And so that act of kindness saved my life. It was a complete stranger. He told me that he had circled past me probably eight or nine times, gone off the off ramp, on the on ramp, off ramp, on ramp.

Thinking that it was crazy that he was getting this lightning bolt, going back to lightning bolts to save my life. But then he was just like, I realized if I don't stop, she's going to die. And so he saved my life and I'm so thankful to him. I don't even know his name because he just dropped me off.

I slept through the whole ride, but it was that act of kindness, that act of giving to a complete stranger and listening to his gut feeling that I'll never forget.

Congratulations on that, Cyan. Thank you. Thank you. I'm excited to be back, and I'm so excited. I did not expect to see David, so I'm over the moon. I'm so excited.
